Spare

At the beginning of the year, the publishing company, Penguin Random House, issued the autobiography of Prince Harry. The book reveals little-known aspects of the Duke of Sussex's life, including his turbulent teenage years as well as experiences related to the death of his mother, Princess Diana. The author shares his complicated relationship with his brother and father, as well as his marriage to Meghan Markle and his decision to leave the royal family. Unsurprisingly, the story about the behind-the-scenes life at Buckingham Palace has awakened huge interest among readers around the world. To date, more than 1 million copies of the book have been sold.

The Woman in Me

In October 2023, Gallery Books published the autobiography of American pop singer Britney Spears, "The Woman in Me."
