Prince Harry’s Autobiography Spare is free on Amazon This Black Friday, Two Months Before Its Official Release
In the UK, the Royal Family is trying their hardest to prepare for Prince Harry’s explosive and monarchy-changing autobiography once it gets released in January.
But eager fans can already avail themselves of the book for free this Black Friday through Amazon, a surprise move because it is set to be released in the UK by next year.
Amazon’s Black Friday deal offers customers a sneak preview and a trial of the brand’s audiobook service, Audible. And Spare is now included on the list of free books that those who prefer to listen to books can buy—but only during the trial period.
Both US and UK users can avail of this trial period. This comes after the memoir was marketed for sale at half its retail price last October.
Those who want the scoop before the book’s release will be able to listen to the audiobook version. Royal enthusiasts can sign up for the trial, select Spare, and then eventually cancel their account by January. This little hack will let readers enjoy the book for free once it is released.
Those who opt to avail themselves of the audiobook are treated to listening to the book being read by Prince Harry himself. This makes the experience somewhat more personal.
Plans didn’t go according to plan for the ex-working royal because he was hoping to publish his memoir autumn of this year. Unfortunately, with the Queen’s death, he worked double time with his team to revise some work. The royal experts are speculating that the prince wanted some parts of the story rewritten in light of his grandmother’s passing.
It is believed that the prince requested some last-minute changes for fear that his chronicle would not be timely and may cause further friction between him and the royal family.
The book promises a revelation from a “Spare” prince and contains his raw and honest truth. Harry reportedly received $20 million in advance for his book, with the entire project causing him to pocket £36.8m. But as early as now, some retailers have reduced the book’s price even for the pre-ordered ones.
The 416-page book is believed to be the make-or-break deal for Harry and, ultimately, the Sussexes and the future of their relationship with the royal family. Many have warned Harry that releasing his book will in no way mend his ongoing rift with his family.
But it appears the Prince is ready to tell his truth at all costs, even if it might further his division with his father, King Charles III, and his brother, William, the Prince of Wales. The book may also harm his relationships with other senior and working royals—ultimately, his entire British family.
