Harry’s Book “Spare” Plummets in Ratings, Sparking Controversy

's highly anticipated autobiography, “Spare,” has recently faced a wave of criticism as it emerges as one of the lowest-rated celebrity books in recent years.

The shocking revelation comes after a thorough analysis conducted by QR Expert's QR Code Generator, which delved into ratings on popular platforms like Goodreads and Amazon.

Despite the book containing controversial allegations against senior members of the royal family, it seems that the tides have turned against the Duke of Sussex, with his literary venture receiving a lackluster rating of 3.99 out of 5.

In a surprising turn of events, Sir Paul McCartney's “The Lyrics 1956 to Present” emerged as the top-rated celebrity book, boasting an impressive overall rating of 4.75 out of 5.

Following closely behind were works by BTS and Cicely Tyson, securing the second and third spots respectively.

Notably, renowned titles by Michelle Obama and Billy Connolly also made their mark in the top 10 list of celebrity books.

However, “Spare” plummeted down the rankings, positioning as the fourth lowest-rated celebrity author in the last three years.

Adding fuel to the fire, reports have surfaced indicating that “Spare” has become the most discarded book of 2023, with copies reportedly abandoned in various locations across Europe, including rooms, bins, and pool sides in holiday resorts in Spain, Greece, and Turkey.

This development comes in the wake of earlier news that Prince Harry and had inked a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House, valued at a staggering $35 to $40 million.

Amidst the backlash, speculations are rife that Penguin Random House is now considering legal action against Prince Harry for breaching his contract terms.

Allegations suggest that Harry's autobiography contradicts statements he made during a high-profile phone hacking trial against Mirror Group Newspapers.

The publishing giant is believed to be seeking a hefty sum of $35 million from the Duke, a significant portion of his initial advance for “Spare.”

Critics have pointed out the apparent struggles faced by Penguin Random House in recouping their investment, citing the distribution of numerous free copies and audiobooks as a desperate attempt to boost sales figures.

Despite these efforts, the lack of accolades for Harry's audiobook and documentary has raised eyebrows, with industry insiders hinting at a lukewarm reception in Hollywood circles.

As scrutiny mounts on Prince Harry's literary venture, questions loom over his ability to resonate with audiences in a rapidly evolving landscape.

With his ties to the royal family severed and his past experiences dominating the narrative, Harry faces an uphill battle in carving out a relevant and compelling narrative for modern audiences.

Critics have been quick to highlight the stark disparity between the Duke's perceived self-importance and the harsh realities of his dwindling influence in the public sphere.

In the face of mounting challenges and dwindling support, Prince Harry finds himself at a crossroads, grappling with the repercussions of his controversial memoir.

As the dust settles on this latest chapter in his tumultuous journey, the world watches with bated breath to see how the once-beloved royal will navigate the rocky terrain of fame and redemption.
