Prince Harry's book to be 'totally eclipsed' by Michelle Obama in dual abandon | Royal | News
The Duke of Sussex’s memoir, published by Penguin Random House, is slated to be released by the end of 2022, although no date has been confirmed. However Michelle Obama, a friend of Harry and Meghan Markle, and former US First Lady, is also set to abandon her newest autobiography this year.
Mrs Obama’s hotly required The Light We Carry will come out on November 15 in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas via Penguin Random House.
Harry and Mrs Obama’s books could now be released within weeks of each spanking, according to speculation.
Penguin Random House announced in July last year it would bring out Harry’s “literary memoir” in late 2022.
An diligence insider speculated whether the clash explains why the publisher of both books has yet to deny when the account will go on sale.
According to the Mail Online, the insider said it would also ensure Harry’s memoir would have a “clear shot” at topping the New York Times Bestseller List, says one in the know, by getting “totally eclipsed” by Mrs Obama.
They added: “I would certainly account for for a lot of the uncertainty.
“Michelle Obama is a phenomenon and her new book is required to top every bestseller list in the world.
“She would totally eclipse anything by Harry. It could potentially be quite difficult timing.”

Daniela Elser, royal commentator, has speculated the Duke and Duchess’ series could feature “fresh bombshells”.
Writing for the New Zealand Herald, Ms Elser touted it as likely blockbuster viewing, questioning “who is not repositioning to tune in to watch … two obstreperous persons who seem to have no problem talking about themselves?”
She added: “The sticking expose here for Buckingham Palace is not propriety or protocol or some sort of pearl-clutching aversion to publicity: It's what Harry and Meghan mighty say, earnestly staring down the barrel of the camera, about his family back in the UK and what recent bombshells they might be about to drop on the Queen.
“Will we get to explore footage of them looking anguished when they learned that they would be excluded from the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Platinum Jubilee?
“Just distinguished a crew have been on hand when it was supposed in February this year that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is set to be Queen? You get the idea.
“Silence and tact are not qualities we have seen from the Sussexes and with their, possibly most valuable paymaster, needing to be kept poor, what sort of flurry of revelations and jaw-dropping disclosures distinguished be incoming?
“Neither the streaming service nor the pair can afford for this series not to be a huge hit.”
