At the Piccadilly Waterstone's, Caroline Lennon, 59, was the only one waiting to buy the book after she walked two miles from Bethnal Green in the East End to queue from 6am.

She said: 'I don't care what anybody says. People will criticise me and say 'what an idiot for liking Harry. What an idiot for queuing up', but I don't care what anyone says.

Ms Lennon posed for photographers as she exited the shop with her copy, saying: 'I'm looking forward to listening to the audiobook straight away.'

The same happened at the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which usually announces the guests so fans can line up the building entrance, according to the photographers whom daily work at the press pen, not one.

Another like from the ghostwriter today London time, feelings expressed right here.

First like I posted last week: me me me (with the original tweet of ''Harry is self absorbed)

Second like: the book launch today is half priced as stores have no queuing for the book. All following comments it will end at a charity shop at GBP1.

There are other verified tweets from shop owners pleading their followers to come to their stores to buy it, one explained that the publisher's methodology was off loading as I explained in a comment last week, offloading is sales, hence #1.  He details, a box containing 12 copies, he purchased 2 boxes because it's by the dozen and had preorders for 18, he wants to finish selling the remaining 6, woke up at 5, opened his store at Swansea, Wales. Population 320,000.

Greece's Crown Princess Pavlos (Marie Chantal) had a photo on her Instagram story. (It will disappear in 24 hours, so it's a book store front window display featuring copies of Spare and next to those books are another one titled How to Kill Your Family.

The shop (Indie shop) belongs to Berts Books, Swindon, Wiltshire, England (Population in Swindon  224,263, although Bert is willing to export the book to Canada if any of his followers are Canadian)

He is one of the verified twitter accounts I mentioned earlier that is telling his followers to please buy a book from the boxed (12 copy) order he has, which according to him he 24 books to sell/2 boxes.

Store owners or workers are being CREATIVE. That's all.

Clare Grant a window and display decorator at a major supermarket, undisclosed location says she decorated it with a necklace, although she calls it a 'chain'. The chain is a gift if you purchase the book, or if you only want the chain, it's independently for sale.

Nightowl, to answer your question, again this is all over the internet, 101, a recovering drug addict (or alcoholic) will not take absolutely No alcoholic beverage, 1 or 2 or the entire bottle for the rest of his life.  There is no cure, it is a one day at a time, counting and having ''clean anniversaries'' forever until the person passes away.

Drugs and alcohol addicts: Brain cells die faster, memory loss.

Thank You for that, and it just confirms my and others suspicions that all this acting out and rage is due to a problem with drugs and booze.  As a friend of mine said, Harry does not have to do it in front of anyone, druggies have ways of hiding their addiction ...think I have lots to learn now.

He said in his book not only gassing himself the day of A's  birth 3 years ago, he also rolled a joint whilst M and A were sleeping at Tyler Perry borrowed house 2 years ago. So, he is still or is in the process of private rehab. Usually the 12 step program can take 2 years or more, less than 2 years is not usual because apparently it is very hard to pass each step (by medical exams, blood and urine tests, other tests with blinking and the nerves and such) Each step is harder, but the ''clean'' anniversary dates should start since day 1/step 1 IF not broken.

^ I started learning about addiction with Kate's Action on Addiction (January 2012) to date merged with The Forward Trust (and other addiction charities) which she has retained the position of Royal Patron to The Forward Trust.  And her Uncle Gary's ex issues with drug taking, as he did go to rehab asap he turned violent hand towards his wife, I recall reading it was Rehab or Jail.

In the book, the Duke of Sussex, 38, recalls the exact moment he was alerted that the late Queen Elizabeth II's mom, Elizabeth the Queen Mother, died in March 2002. Harry claims he was at his posh UK boarding school, Eton, when he learned that she had passed away in her sleep at the age of 101.

It is not the ghostwriters job to 'fact check', just be a skilled grammar, writer, technical detailing and communication. It's the publishers fact check assistants job.

I know some people don't really care about dates and numbers but not getting it right when your grandmother died and the like is odd. When you want to be credible, getting your dates correct is a big deal.

Regardless of how many books are sold, it is still a book of *LIES* and for those that bought the book to support his lifestyle foolish are those that want to waste money on LIES. So have at it people, I have a *real* tiara of HM's to sell you.....it is worth more than a book of lies....LOL and not for one second do I believe all the money from the books will go to a charity ......no way in ....whatever!  Meghan needs her $5 grand dresses Harry.

Harry has never said that ALL the money from the books will go to charities. Not even any of the RRs have stated that Spare is a book composed of all lies!

And nobody wants any tiaras!!

I think Marie Chantal should just be quiet. She has commented on other royal families before and it didn?t go down well, to say the least. And as someone who has never lived within a fully functioning reigning royal family ever,  she doesn?t know what she is talking about.

It was Harry?s great-grandmother, not grandmother, he was seventeen and got memories mixed up. That?s not a crime, especially as Harry didn?t have much to do with her.  He was at Eton a few days before, probably and forgot about the ski trip. The publisher?s checker should have been onto it. .

Harry is no drug addict or it would have come out by now. And there were no complaints that he was drunk at royal engagements nor while he was flying helicopters in Afghanistan.

Just to clarify MC is shared a photo from one of the local booksellers' displays.  Sorry if there was some confusion as she herself didn't create the display.  There appears to be a few booksellers that are creating interesting displays pairing Spare with other books.

MC shared that photo on her IG to make a point. Just as she has previously commented on other royals, Queen Sofia of Spain for example (her father in law?s sister) and Letizia, Sofia?s daughter in law, which according to some sources did not go down too well.

And booksellers can do what they wish. It?s all publicity for their shops I guess. Doesn?t mean anything about how the book is going.

My guess is that a lot will buy the e book for their Kindle or the audio version rather than the hardcover. I love books especially new books (the feel of them, the smell of them) but that doesn?t mean that I don?t find my Kindle a blessing or that about 70% of my book purchases over the last six years or so haven?t been via Amazon Kindle.

Harry sure seems to forget about a lot of things. It?s ok, though. He?s making his millions. He?ll be fine.
