Prince Harry's Memoir Tops UK Bathroom Reading List

0:00On March 26, Prince Harry's memoir Spare has landed at the top of a new United Kingdom survey for favorite bathroom reading material. The book, released in early 2023, came out ahead of well-known titles like George Orwell's 1984 and Stephen Hawking's A. Brief history of time. The poll comes from toilet paper brand Keshel, based on habits of British readers. Survey respondents pointed to spare short chapters in straightforward style as ideal for quick sessions on the toilet. Many people grab a book for a brief escape during those everyday breaks and Harry's personal stories fit right in for dipping in and out. Sources near the palace say this spotlight isn't what Harry had in mind for his serious account of royal life. They worry it paints the book as light entertainment rather than a deep personal statement, adding to mixed feelings about him back home. Behavioral psychologist Joe Hemmings, who helped with the research, explains that bathrooms offer rare private time away from daily stress.

1:00Spare works well there because it's engaging and easy to pick up for a few minutes amid busy lives. Britain's average six bathroom trips a day, about five minutes each, totaling around seven days a year. Keshel even launched a flushable magazine on toilet paper for one time reads, highlighting our need for simple distractions in those quiet spots. I'm Corey with the story.
