PARIS, France - Strong orders for the French version of Prince Harry's tell-all memoir led Paris-based publishing house Fayard to print 130,000 extra copies only two days after the book went on sale, a company spokesperson told Reuters on Thursday.
''This comes on top of 210,000 copies initially printed'', the spokesperson said, adding, even more, could be printed depending on orders.
Fayard couldn't yet give any exact sales figures.
The spokesperson said new orders for ''Le Suppleant'', the French translation of ''Spare'', were 20% stronger at this point than for the first volume of former U.S. President Barack Obama's memoir, a global blockbuster published in 2020.
In the book, Harry divulges that he had begged his father not to marry his second wife Camilla, now the queen consort. The book also revealed that the elder brother and heir to the throne William had knocked him over during a heated argument.
International Published Penguin Random House said earlier this week the memoir had secured the largest first-day sales total for any non - fiction book it had ever published with more than 1.4 million copies sold in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
