Prince Harry, 38, is living the honeys of success after publishing his controversial book ‘Spare’ on January 10. The Duke of Sussex’s memoirs have found fans and detractors who wonder, how much will earn with his book?
Like the successful Netflix documentary, the Duke of Sussex has also managed to have good numbers in the publishing universe. Harry has been able to monetize his departure from royalty by revealing his experiences between opulence and strict upbringing, generating numerous high-impact headlines making the book the best seller.
How many books has Prince Harry sold?
The book sold more than 400,000 copies in the UK in its first 24 hours, making it the best-selling non-fiction book in the country’s history, surpassing the famous Harry Potter saga.
How much will Prince Harry make from his book?
Experts have made their calculations to find out how much Lady Di’s youngest son has pocketed for this work.
British media have claimed that the prince received an advance of 22.5 million euros. Although in order to obtain this final benefit, he would have to sell at least one and a half million copies in his country. This does not take into account sales in the other 16 different languages in which ‘Spare’ is available.
The revenue Prince Harry has already earned would be between 6 and 14 million. The prices of the books worldwide are: They are almost € 22 in Spain, € 25 in Italy and £ 14.00 in the UK, multiplying by the number of sales the result is correct.
It should be noted that a portion of the proceeds will go to charitable organizations in the home country. Specifically, 1.5 million euros will go to Sentebale, the NGO he founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in memory of their mothers, which helps vulnerable children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana.
On the other hand, more than 340,000 euros will be given to WellChild, the non-profit organization of which he has been an ambassador for 15 years and which provides home care to children and young people with special health needs.
