According to a representative for Penguin Random House's UK division Transworld Books, Prince Harry's book Spare has now sold 750,000 copies in the UK across all formats, according to royal correspondent Omid Scobie.
According to the Scobie, who wrote the unofficial biography "Finding Freedom" about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it is now not just the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time but also the most popular memoir.
In response to "hurtful" criticism of his best-selling memoir, Britain's Prince Harry said he was especially outraged by the "lie" he had boasted about having killed 25 people in Afghanistan while working as a military helicopter pilot.
The youngest son of King Charles details his two deployments of Afghanistan—the first as a forward air controller in 2007–2008 and the second as a co-pilot gunner in Apache attack helicopters—as well as the number of people he killed in his book "Spare."
British newspapers, which are heavily denounced in the book, as well as a number of prominent former British military officials have criticized his decision to disclose the number of people he had killed, arguing that doing so could put him and others at risk of reprisals.
He said on "The Late Show" that the media had misrepresented his comments in order to take his revelation out of context, and that he had disclosed the information in an effort to reduce the incidence of veteran suicides.
The most destructive lie they have circulated is without a doubt that I somehow boasted about the number of people I killed in Afghanistan, he claimed.
"I made the decision to share it because, after dealing with veterans all over the world for almost 20 years, I believe that the most important thing is to be honest and be able to give others the space to be able to share their stories without feeling ashamed."
The publisher of Harry's book announced on Tuesday that it had broken the record for fastest selling non-fiction book in the UK. His book has dominated British media for days with its intimate personal revelations about his life and the lives of other royals, as well as his accusations that they had colluded with a hostile press.
On the first day of release, the English language edition of "Spare" sold more than 1.43 million copies across all editions and formats in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Harry admitted that the previous several days had been difficult and unpleasant.
