Prince Harry's bombshell memoir has been knocked off the top of the charts in Australia by an investment book for children.
The Duke of Sussex's tell-all autobiography Spare has become one of the fastest-selling books of all time having sold 64,148 copies in its first week across the country.
But Barefoot Kids by Scott 'The Barefoot Investor' Pape was published on November 7 and has sold almost double that with 128,641 copies, according to Nielsen Bookscan.
However, Harry's work is still the best-selling memoir in Australia since records began in 2002.
Similarly, in the UK it has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book since records began in 1998.
It has sold 750,000 copies across all formats in Britain since going on sale on January 10.
Transworld, the UK division of the book's publishers Penguin Random House, said it was the biggest selling memoir in its first week ever.
Figures from Nielsen BookData show it sold 467,183 print copies in the first seven days.
Pape's Barefoot Kids is his third book, after The Barefoot Investor: The Only Money Guide You'll Ever Need and his 2018 follow-up, The Barefoot Investor for Families.
The first was named the best-selling book of the decade in 2019.
A publishing source told The Daily Telegraph: "Who'd have thought decent financial advice would outperform frostbitten todgers?"
They were referring to an anecdote Harry referenced in the book about getting the embarrassing condition after a 200-mile Arctic charity walk in 2011.
He was still struggling without during brother Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton that same year.
It comes as a PR expert said the Royal Family have "pulled a blinder" by refusing to publicly respond to the allegations in Harry's book.
Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have maintained a wall of silence over Spare.
Crisis management specialist Edward Coram-James said Harry and Meghan Markle have seen their "ill-conceived game plan" destroyed.
The pair stepped down as working royals in March 2020.
Prior to the book release this month, Netflix series Harry & Meghan launched in December, which also includes accusations against the royals.
Their Oprah Winfrey interview in March 2021 saw Meghan suggest a senior member of the family questioned how dark then-unborn son Archie's skin would be.
Meanwhile, Harry made £16million for his memoir after making £109million in Spotify and Netflix deals, reports claim.
Part of the reason why the Sussexes left the Firm was to become financially independent.
