Poll Reveals Disinterest in Prince Harry’s Upcoming Memoir

A recent poll conducted by Express has unveiled a striking lack of enthusiasm for Prince Harry's much-anticipated memoir, set to hit shelves on January 10th.

The survey, which ran from midday on October 27th until the morning of November 1st, posed a simple question: “Will you read Prince Harry's book?”

With over 24,000 votes cast, an overwhelming 93% of respondents indicated they would not pick up the memoir, while only 5% expressed interest, and a mere 1% remained undecided.

The feedback from readers was candid, with many expressing confusion over who would actually want to read the book.

One user bluntly stated, “No, I won't read this book and quite frankly I really don't understand who would want to.” Others echoed similar sentiments, with comments ranging from reluctance to spend their hard-earned cash to outright disdain for the memoir's appeal.

A user named janetwcq1958 remarked, “I have no intention of wasting my hard-earned money,” while another, cynicaloldpossum, quipped that “watching paint dry would be far more interesting.”

The skepticism didn't stop there.

User maude went so far as to say, “I would not read the book if someone paid me to read it.” Many royal enthusiasts voiced their disinterest in supporting Harry's narrative, with lin007 stating, “I wouldn't even pay 10p for it.” Another user, gwenty, chimed in, expressing fatigue over the ongoing discussions surrounding the memoir, saying, “I've heard enough about it already and I'm bored of it.”

As for the financial implications, user bettyb raised a valid point: “Why would anyone buy the book when the media will have all the juicy parts?” This sentiment was echoed by chikatina, who, despite her interest in royal history, declared her refusal to read either Harry's memoir or its predecessor, “Finding Freedom.”

In terms of pricing, the hardcover edition of “Spare” is set to retail at £28 and will be available in 16 languages worldwide.

Interestingly, WH Smith is already advertising the book at half price, three months before its official release.

Harry is also set to narrate the audio version himself, adding a personal touch to the publication.

Despite the disinterest among many, some proceeds from the memoir are earmarked for charitable organizations, including Centrebale and WellChild.

However, the controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan continues to overshadow the book's launch.

Royal biographer Tom Bauer recently suggested that both should lose their titles due to their outspoken criticisms of royal life.

Bauer's remarks included a strong assertion that Markle has been the driving force behind their agenda.

He noted that prominent figures, including King Charles and Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, have seen through the couple's intentions.

“I don't think they should be allowed to call themselves Duke and Duchess anymore,” he stated, criticizing them for profiting at the expense of the royal family.

Adding fuel to the fire, Bauer disparaged Harry's memoir, claiming the prince hasn't even read his own work.

The contents of “Spare” remain tightly under wraps, leading to speculation about what revelations may lie within its pages.

It's worth noting that neither Harry nor the publisher reportedly provided the royal family with any advance copy of the memoir, despite its likely references to them.

When the publishing deal was announced back in July 2021, only Queen Elizabeth II received prior notice, which allegedly caused her considerable distress.

King Charles was informed just moments before the public announcement, highlighting the tensions that continue to simmer between Harry and the royal family.
