Prince Harry‘s autobiography broke sales records on its first day, selling more than 1.4 million copies.
Penguin Random House, which released the attention-grabbing autobiography Spare on Tuesday, claims the figure is their highest-ever first-day sales total for any nonfiction book.
According to the publisher, the English language edition of Spare sold more than 1,430,000 units in all formats and editions in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom on its January 10 release date.
“While many books by public figures can be fairly categorized as ‘celebrity memoir,’ Spare is not that,” Random House Group president and publisher Gina Centrello said of the record sales.
“Vulnerable and heartfelt, brave and intimate, Spare is the story of someone we may have thought we already knew, but now we can truly come to understand Prince Harry through his own words.
“Looking at these extraordinary first day sales, readers clearly agree, Spare is a book that demands to be read, and it is a book we are proud to publish.”
According to Penguin Random House, the book has even gone back to press in order to meet demand in the United States.
It comes despite the fact that the book’s contents were leaked a week early, with copies even appearing in Spanish bookstores one week before the official release.
In his explosive memoir, the Duke of Sussex takes aim at King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, as well as sharing details about how he dealt with Princess Diana’s death.
