Royal Disinterest

American publisher Penguin Random House recently announced that it will be working with Prince Harry to publish an “intimate and heartfelt memoir” detailing his military service and life as a father and husband. However, amid the prince’s decision to hightail it stateside, many Britons aren’t exactly thrilled about the looming tell-all.

A survey conducted by YouGov has revealed that Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir won’t be well-received by the British public, as two-thirds of polled Britons indicated they are “not interested at all” in the work.
Of the polled British public, approximately 67% said they had absolutely no desire to read the book. Only 14% stated that they would be willing to check out Prince Harry’s own retelling of events.
In fact, many of the surveyed respondents (53%) indicated that it was “inappropriate” for the royal to publish the memoir, with some 38% being of the belief that it would be “very inappropriate.”
The survey, however, does suggest that the memoir could have more support among American audiences, especially considering at least 25% of Americans polled said they were either very or fairly interested.
The prince’s memoir, which reportedly “blindsided” Buckingham Palace, is expected to hit bookshelves sometime in 2022.
