NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 No, the public has not tired of hearing about Prince Harry. Sales for “Spare” have placed the Duke of Sussex in some rarefied company.<\/p>\n

Penguin Random House announced Wednesday that first day sales for the Harry’s tell-all memoir topped 1.4 million copies, a record pace for non-fiction from a company that also publishes Barack and Michelle Obama, whose \u201cBecoming\u201d needed a week to reach 1.4 million when it was released in 2018.<\/p>\n

The sales figures for \u201cSpare\u201d include hardcover, audiobook and e-book editions sold in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u2033’Spare’ is the story of someone we may have thought we already knew, but now we can truly come to understand Prince Harry through his own words,\u201d Gina Centrello, President and Publisher of the Random House Group, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at these extraordinary first day sales, readers clearly agree, ‘Spare’ is a book that demands to be read, and it is a book we are proud to publish.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most highly anticipated memoirs in recent times, \u201cSpare\u201d is Harry’s highly personal and intimate account of his life in the royal family and his relationship with the American actor Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.<\/p>\n

Michelle Obama’s memoir has since sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, its sales holding up over time in part because of highly favorable reviews. The verdict is mixed so far for \u201cSpare.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York Times critical Alexandra Jacob called the book, and its author, \u201call over the map \u2014 emotionally as well as physically,\u201d at times \u201cfrank and funny\u201d and at other times consumed by Harry’s anger at the British press. In The Washington Post, Louis Bayard found \u201cSpare\u201d to be \u201cgood-natural, rancorous, humorous, self-righteous, self-deprecating, long-winded. And every so often, bewildering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
