Looks like Harold's having the last laugh...

His publisher has confirmed he's sold 400,000 copies across all formats in ONE DAY. That's probably a record breaking amount for a memoir.

Saw this on the high street today .. kinda sums up the whole thing really.. just a bit cheap ...

Also - is it normal to discount a book on the day it's released ?



Have you been living under a rock?

Yes, that does include pre-sales, but in publishing they count as Day One sales.

I agree sales will drop off quickly.

I remember reading that is house costs 16 m to maintain per year. So it's gone as soon as it's earned.

Like Diana you mean ??? Omg thats quite an ominous suggestion !!

I watched the Bradby chat. It is fascinating how deluded H is. He really is 100% convinced he is the wronged party. But the sharing texts, sharing all kinds of highly personal and private info. Why on earth does he think he is any different to Thomas Markle?!

Wallis had lovers and Edward was a silly old fool.

Bugger can't post the photo for some reason...

It was a big publicity photo of Harry's book cover with a HALF PRICE splashed across the top !

Not read it but I'm surprised at how much much he's raked up, and muck raking is going to sell like hot cakes. People love a load of bollox if the people involved are famous.

Michelle Obama sold 750k in her first week and went on to sell over 14m copies

But that was a good book

Posting or reading isn't caring - it's a boring wet January 😁

It’s £8 in Tesco with a Clubcard, that’s 60% off.

I bought it.

Managed it !

I only found out his real name is Henry a few weeks ago! Not sure why he is known as Harry?!

I’ve just started ‘The Escape artist’ about a 19 Jewish boy who managed to escape Auschwitz using his wits, it puts the whole Harry pity party into perspective.

Highly recommend it by the way

People love a load of bollox if the people involved are famous.

Especially if the bollox come with a frost-bitten todger

I have no idea why people are buying it. Just support your local library and get in line to borrow it! Saves the library, saves your cash and Harry doesn't get another squillion quid to add to his coffers.

Many people care, mostly mumsnet users. The amount of threads this has generated is phenomenonal

Oh absolutely! It just makes me laugh how so many claim they don't care.

The Spare goes for half price! The irony.

This 'tome' won't have longevity to any degree. I can't imagine why anyone wants to buy it, because it's splashed all over the media.

H has turned out to be such a dick. No wonder he wants to talk about his all the time.

The RF so far have played this very cleverly! Totally ignoring the twerp is the best way to go. He's his own worst enemy at the end of the day.

Paul Burrell said that Harry always called William ‘Wills’ but who is more believable - Harry or Paul Burrell - hard to tell

The entire Royal Family are over-privileged and quite under educated. Often foolish, vindictive, adulterers, liars, racist, companions of paedophiles, cash loving baggers, and so on. It is so dysfunctional that even my own mad (but likeable) family are looking positively darling buds of May in comparison.

Who really in their right minds could take any of them seriously anymore.

I admire H for exposing them for what they are. Doesn't matter that some think he is a whinger, not well, whatever, the family made him that way and few are prepared to say it.

I have been tempted to buy the audio book. The excerpts that I've heard made me laugh out loud. Just so.... Earnest.

All the slander and bad mouthing is coming out of his mouth.

Erm because the traditional nickname for Henry is Harry - always has been. Harry has only been used as a name in its own right more recently.
