Spanish bookshops and leak to the Guardian undo secrecy plans but won’t affect Spare’s sales, say industry experts

The wave of coverage began with Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries, followed by some small hints dropped in some of last Sunday’s papers, and a series of short publicity clips from planned television interviews with Harry – all well before the Guardian published a short account from the book on Wednesday night, in which Harry alleged a physical attack by his brother, Prince William.
Philip Jones, the editor of the industry publication the Bookseller, said that while publishers were officially opposed to leaks, they would be aware some extracts had piqued the public’s interest before publication. The early leaks allowed the newspapers who loathe Harry and Meghan to have their royal cake and eat it, writing dozens of stories about the prince’s claims while also decrying him for having the audacity to publish such material., described the book as the “excruciating” work of a “grudge-toting manbaby” – before urging readers to buy its print edition for 17 pages of coverage about what he had written.
