Prince Harry’s autobiography, “Spare,” has been deemed one of the least well-received celebrity books, dealing a blow to both him and his wife, Meghan Markle.
The research conducted by QR Expert’s QR Code Generator revealed this shocking revelation.
Despite containing numerous damaging allegations against senior members of the royal family, it appears that the firm may have had the last laugh, as the data suggests otherwise.
Experts meticulously analyzed ratings on Goodreads and Amazon over the past three years to determine the top-rated celebrity book.
Surprisingly, Sir Paul McCartney’s “The Lyrics 1956 to Present” claimed the first position with an impressive overall rating of 4.75 out of 5.
BTS and Cicely Tyson secured second and third place, respectively, while notable titles by Michelle Obama and Billy Connolly rounded out the top 10.
Unfortunately for Prince Harry, “Spare” plummeted in the rankings, landing within the bottom 50.
The Duke of Sussex was named the fourth lowest rated celebrity author in the past three years, with his book receiving a lackluster rating of 3.99 out of 5.
Moreover, Prince Harry’s book has earned the dubious distinction of being the most discarded book of 2023.
This 416-page diatribe has reportedly been abandoned in hotel rooms, trash bins, and poolside areas across various European holiday resorts, including Spain, Greece, and Turkey.
Earlier this year, Entertainment Tonight reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle inked a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House, estimated to be worth between $35 and $40 million.
However, it seems that the publishing giant might now seek $35 million from Prince Harry for violating his contract.
This stems from his admission that his autobiography contradicts a statement he made during the phone hacking trial against Mirror Group Newspapers.
The situation appears to have resulted in significant financial losses for Penguin Random House, as they resorted to giving away a substantial number of free books and audiobooks in an attempt to boost sales figures.
Contrary to their claims, the absence of any nominations for Prince Harry’s audiobook speaks volumes.
Typically, authors who narrate their own books receive recognition in this category.
Additionally, their documentary also failed to garner any nominations, according to Netflix, suggesting a lack of popularity in Hollywood.
It seems that Harry and Meghan have become somewhat despised figures in the entertainment industry.
The failure of Prince Harry’s book is a source of delight for many.
Some speculate that the high ratings on Amazon could be attributed to fake five-star reviews generated by Meghan’s supporters, known as “bots.”
Recent reports have indicated that “Spare” needed to sell twice as many hardcover copies to recoup the advance payment made to Prince Harry.
A considerable amount of money was also spent on public relations efforts.
Although the book managed to generate $1.2 million in sales, it fell short of the $2.7 million required for the publisher to break even.
Furthermore, questions arise regarding the promised donations from Prince Harry.
With no access to the resources of the palace, he no longer possesses anything to sell.
As public interest shifts towards the future and the evolution of the modern monarchy, Prince Harry finds himself unable to contribute meaningfully.
