There were few people and certainly no queues on the streets of Nottingham as the highly anticipated memoir from Prince Harry hit the shelves this morning. The controversial book had some bookshops expecting queues and preparing large stacks of hardback books ready for customers when doors opened.
The book, titled Spare, is Harry's account of his life including the death of his mother, Princess Diana, life with the Royal Family and also his marriage to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. The memoir comes after a series of interviews and a documentary series on the streaming site Netflix.
The weather appeared to play a big part in the quiet streets as there were no queues outside Waterstones on Bridlesmith Gate in Nottingham. One man nipped in to buy a copy for his wife.
