Richard Osman books - which you can't move for - sold approx 3 million copies prior to the release of his 4th one. That's a lot of muggy royalists you are hoping cough up to read about a family row.

I'm sure someone somewhere knows what they are doing.
I'm guessing this will sell better in the US than here.

This is quite the review from the bbc. Someone is after some good leaks and continued access. Sheesh. The irony is that the review opens Saying the book is like a long angry drunken text (or something like that) and the review is written like a long angry drunken text by someone who has been taking illegal drugs. It is a terrible bit of writing and I struggle to make sense of it. It feels more like a dumping ground of attacks on Harry. I am starting to think Harry might have a point about the media!

The more i see him attacked the more I feel sorry for him!

Don't know if its 'fake news' or just good old fashioned bullshit, the reporter for GMB at W.H.Smith's in Windsor said Harry had received a £20million advance from the publishers despite a lot of retailers selling at £14 a 50% discount on the RRP.

Even for all the publicity, you've got to shift a lot of books to get that back and still come out on top?
£20 million , or thereabouts , the Duke could buy the Duchess a nice yacht with that sort of dosh ;)

20 million? He could pay another year or two of the hush hush money for his uncle.

They just said on the radio that 400k copies have been sold today.

The more he opens his mouth the more I feel sorry for him. Is Meghan the current incarnation of Ray Allen?

Reserved it at the library yesterday after reading that BBC review. I am number 70 on the waiting list. Never seen a number like it on the library system.

It's by a Royal Correspondent. You'd have to be pretty odd to do that job

Anyone actually reading it. My wife bought it for me because I watched the Netflix show when I had covid recently. Only read about 40 pages. Quite enjoying it. I would hate to be famous.
haven't you suffered enough?

After the record sales on day one for a non fiction book in the U.K. he has done the same in the US with over 1 million sold which beats Obama. For someone the media says we are bored with he is selling lots of books!
