Waterstones announces that it’s selling Prince Harry’s memoir for half price already – months before it’s even released
WATERSTONES has already announced it will sell Prince Harry's memoir for half price.
The bookstore decided to slash the cost from £28 to £14 months before the Duke of Sussex even releases it.
It was announced today that the long-awaited memoir, called Spare, will be released on January 10.
Waterstones wrote online: "On 10 January 2023, readers everywhere will be part of a landmark publication: the story of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex.
"Personal and emotionally powerful."
Penguin Random House has billed the book as "his story at last".

Harry - who has already received half of a £35million payout for his book - will read the audiobook version himself.
The title likely refers to the phrase "the heir and the spare". His brother Prince William, the heir to the throne, is set on a clearly laid-out path in life compared to the spare Prince Harry.
On a promotional website for the new book, the publisher said Harry will support British charities with donations from the proceeds, including Sentebale and WellChild.
The blurb on the website reads: "It was one of the most searing images of the 20th century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow-and horror.

"As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling-and how their lives would play out from that point on.
"For Harry, this is that story at last.
"With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief."
