Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ displayed beside ‘How to Kill Your Family’ novel at a UK bookshop sparks chatter online
A bookstore in the United Kingdom displayed Prince Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’ beside Bella Mackie’s novel ‘How to Kill Your Family’, and it has taken social media by storm.
Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, has become the talk of the town ever since its official release on January 10. While many are ordering the book online, others are heading to the bookstores to lay hands on the memoir. Some are even taking to social media sites to share posts about the book that chronicles Prince Harry’s journey and highlights the eternal power of love over grief. Amid this, a picture of a UK bookstore displaying Prince Harry’s Spare next to Bella Mackie’s novel ‘How to Kill Your Family’ is making waves on social media platforms.
Swindon-based independent bookshop Bert’s Books shared the image on Twitter. “Anyway, we do have some spare copies of Spare if you want one,” they wrote while sharing the photo. The books are arranged in that fashion apparently to attract people’s attention by taking a sarcastic dig at Prince Harry’s controversial memoir in which he has made numerous revelations about Britain’s royal family.
