In other words, Prince Harry's autobiography "Spare Tires" finally hit the shelves on January 10 after the content was leaked in advance.
From the planning to the exposure of the content, this autobiography has been accompanied by voices of doubt and criticism,
But after it went on sale, people's enthusiasm for it continued unabated.
Publisher Penguin Random House said that on its first day on the shelves, the autobiography sold a total of 400,000 copies in hardcover, e-book and audiobook, making it "the fastest selling non-fiction book ever".
This result is quite impressive, according to the publisher, its first-day sales are second only to Harry Potter.
On the first day of sale, Harry's autobiography has been thoroughly made public,
People found out that he actually revealed his intimate affair with Meghan in the book, and the content was so explicit that it was shocking...
The story takes place in 2016, during the period of Harry and Meghan's love affair.
They went to Botswana together that summer for a vacation, and then went back to their respective homes.
After a few weeks of exotic love, Meghan flew to London to reunite with Harry on the anniversary of Princess Diana's death, and the story took place at this time.
Harry wrote in the book that he and his brother William laid flowers for the tomb of Concubine Dianae,
Megan texted him that she had arrived in the UK,
Harry and William drove back to London, and he ran to Meghan that same night.
Meghan checked into a hotel at London's Soho House, where Harry went to find her and spent the night there.
Harry recalled that Meghan told him the secret path to the hotel and told him to take the freight elevator, where a friend of Meghan's waited for Harry and led him to the door of Meghan's room.
He waited anxiously outside Meghan's room door, and soon she opened it, pulled Harry in, thanked her friend, and quickly closed the door before anyone else saw it.
"I would say we should put a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door."
"But I don't think I had time to do that then."
After reading this paragraph written by Harry, many people expressed spicy eyes.
The Australian TV show "Today Show" talked about Harry's autobiography,
The reporter connected with two presenters in the studio, Brooke Boney and Alex Cullen, to read excerpts from "Harry and Meghan making out" for them.
The expressions of the two hosts are very "wonderful",
They were taken aback by such an explicit depiction, and they all had surprised expressions.
Also because she was too embarrassed and ashamed, the hostess Brooke covered her face with her hands.
Listening to this description, the male host Alex blurted out: "Is this a Mills & Boon novel?" Is this R-rated? Wow! ”
(Mills & Boon is a British publishing house that has specialized in romance novels since the 30s)
The hostess complained: "In the audio book, he will read this paragraph... Imagine his voice reading these in your ear. ”
"You might be driving, or walking your dog, while Harry reads..."
Before she finished speaking, she made a "dry gag and vomit" expression.
The male host followed up on her words and said, "Then you have to pull over." ”
Netizens also couldn't understand why Harry wanted to expose such a private matter.
"Oh my God, don't be like this... What we do wrong depends on this kind of thing?!? ”
"Don't, don't. Please. Stop talking about this embarrassing content. Who wants to know that? ”
"Damn it, don't do this... I don't need to say so much. ”
"How fun it will be for their children to see this in the future."
"On the anniversary of his mother's death? Embarrassed. ”
"This is the privacy in their eyes?"
"Some things need to be kept secret. Please, stop talking. ”
In fact, Harry's self-disclosure in his autobiography is not only this one.
Harry said in the book that on April 29, 2011, William and Kate's wedding day, he attended his brother's wedding with "frostbite", and it hurt so much that he couldn't walk.
In March 2011, he participated in a charity event that hiked 200 miles in the Arctic to raise money for wounded veterans.
As a result, during this hike, his cheeks, ears and genitals were frostbitten.
At the celebration on the night before William Kate's wedding, Harry talked about his experience in the North Pole, which eased William's tension and relieved Charles and his friends.
Harry said in the book that Charles was concerned about frostbite on his face and ears, but he did not say anything about frostbite on his lower body.
At that time, the frostbite on his face and ears had basically healed, but the lower body was not yet.
He applied Elizabeth Arden's cream on his lower body, and immediately went to see a doctor after attending his brother's wedding.
In addition, Harry also revealed in the book that he and William had both been circumcised, not only exposing himself, but even his brother's share was exposed by him.
"They all say that if you cut your foreskin, you have a better chance of frostbite on your lower body, and that's true."
"The newspapers in the books say that Willie and I didn't do circumcision, which is fake, I did it when I was a child."
In addition to revealing large-scale content in the book to attract attention, Harry is also busy promoting a new autobiography these two days,
He participated in the "Evening Show" program, and made fun of the royal family in the show, revealing more details.
At the beginning of the show, a skit by Harry with movie star Tom Hanks and host Stephen Colbert was shown.
When Harry walked into the room, he saw the host salute,
Behind him were two trumpeters in guards' uniforms, whose uniforms were embroidered with the letters "LS" on their chests, an acronym for The Evening Show, replacing the royal abbreviation.
When Harry saw this scene, he thought he was welcoming him, and immediately said,
"Oooh, oooh, oh, don't, don't."
"No need for this, Stephen, but thank you anyway, I appreciate it."
The host replied, "What are you talking about?" This is not for you! ”
"Get out of the way, he's coming!"
Then, actor Tom Hanks came over,
"I'm here again! What about my welcome ceremony? ”
Saying that, Harry jokingly threw rose petals at him.
This sketch is undoubtedly ridiculing the British royal family,
And on the show, Harry also knows how to create gimmicks.
Last week, the media broke the news that Harry wrote in his autobiography that William had beaten him because of Meghan, tearing off his necklace.
Harry said the necklace was repaired and that he was wearing it on the show.
Now that there are three pendants hanging from the necklace, Harry explains their meaning.
Two of the small silver plates are printed with the electrocardiograms of their son Archie and daughter Lilibet,
"These two are my child's heartbeat, which my wife gave me."
The other pendant is round,
"This was made for me by a friend of mine in Botswana, with a tiger's eye in the middle."
Tiger's eye is a less expensive gemstone that brings strength, healing and courage to the wearer, and in some cultures it means warding off evil spirits.
Harry wore the pendant for many years, and some speculate that it was a gift from his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Davey, who dated Harry from 2004 to 2010.
Harry's autobiography is called "Spare," and he jokes about the term on the show.
Harry sat on a blue single sofa with an identical empty sofa next to it.
Harry called the empty sofa "spare tire", which made the host laugh.
After watching this episode, perhaps more people will be aroused to buy Harry's autobiography.
In fact, since a long time ago, Harry has always stressed that he wants privacy and wants to protect his family.
In his new autobiography, he said the same.
Lucy Pavia, editor of The Independent, commented that Harry's "outright hatred of the media is everywhere in the book".
James Marriott, editor of The Times, commented,
"Despite Harry's claim to despise harassment in the media, he is eager to be in the spotlight."
But this kind of behavior of wanting privacy while breaking the news and saying everything is probably not good for the relationship between Harry and the royal family.
Last Sunday, Harry was interviewed by journalist Tom Bradby,
Harry said he wanted to reconcile with his family and believed it would one day happen.
"I love my dad, I love my brother, and I love my family."
"I always wanted my dad back, I wanted my brother back."
Tom Bradby doubts this,
"It's not so much that you burned the bridges of communication, but that you bombarded it with a flamethrower."
Harry replied that Charles and William did not intend to reconcile with him until he began to break the news.
He added: "I don't understand why honesty can ruin bridges of communication. ”
However, honesty does not mean that the mouth is not open,
I don't know how the royal family will feel after reading Harry's autobiography,
I don't know if the "reconciliation" in Harry's dream is closer or farther...
