Despite the backlash that Prince Harry along with his wife Meghan Markle received, it seems that the divided British are still interested in what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to say.
According to Royal expert, journalist and author Ombid Scobie of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s book; Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family shared that the Duke of Sussex had broken records in the United Kingdom.
He wrote on Twitter: “And there you have it! [A] Spokesperson for @TransworldBooks a UK division of Penguin Random House, tells me that Prince Harry’s #Spare has become Britain’s fastest-selling non-fiction title of all time. It’s, so far, recorded a sales figure of 400 000 copies across all formats.”

The Royal expert also added that the previous record was held by his own book about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Harry has been on a media tour to promote his book. While touring he appeared on so many TV interviews including Good Morning America with Michael Strahan, and also having a front page feature in People magazine.
Variety reported that Harry’s 60 Minutes interview was watched by 11.2 million viewers – a season-high for the CBS new magazine.
The Duke has repeatedly said that his strained relationship with his family is majorly blamed on the British media, their “lies” and his family “planting stories” with the press.
Buckingham Palace has not publicly responded to Harry’s memoir and the controversial contents against the royal family.
