Since the publication of Prince Harry’s memoirs, the popularity of his brother William and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton has plummeted. It must be said that the youngest son of Charles III made explosive revelations there…
The publication of the memoirs of the prince Harry caused a lot of ink to flow. In Spare – The Alternate for its French translation -, the youngest son of King Charles III and Diana confides as he never had before, sometimes evoking his personality, the dramas of his life and the family he founded with his wife Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex also makes explosive revelations which have reignited tensions between him and several members of the royal family of England, including his mother-in-law Camilla Parker-Bowles, but also and especially his brother William and his wife Kate Middleton. If many believe that Prince Harry has crossed the red line, the polls would almost give him the advantage across the Channel. Indeed, since the publication of his memoirs, the popularity of the Prince and Princess of Wales is plummeting.
According to the results of a survey reported by the New Zealand Herald on January 12, the popularity rating of Prince William rises to 49% and that of Kate Middleton at 50%, which is much less than in the third quarter of last year. The prince had 65% favorable opinion and his wife 66% (YouGov). These are the numbers “them lowest ever for this duo since the start of the polls in 2011″ said Daniela Elser, a journalist specializing in the royal family. The latter also interpreted the results, insisting that the couple must “to make the royal family represent something much more meaningful and relevant”and also “prove there is a place for monarchy in the 21st centuryas a genuinely relevant entity that makes a tangible contribution to British society”.

The sales of Spare could bring in more than 100 million euros
The success of Prince Harry’s memoir is undeniable. Beyond the impact these writings have on William and Kate Middleton, the record numbers show how much the book was expected. For its first day of marketing on January 10, the English edition pulled out 400,000 copies only on British soil, and at 1.4 million copies in total. A record! Neither Harry nor the publisher expected such numbers, it seems.
According to The Sunday Expressthe dazzling success of Spare could earn a little over £100 million (113 million euros) in royalties to Harry. “His instantaneous and phenomenal success took everyone by surprise” told a source to the newspaper, before adding: “Harry could easily exceed the combined sales of the Obamas’ bookswho are currently the best-selling authors” by the editor. The future will tell !
