The big news in the publishing world this week is the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. If you placed a hold on this title, it may be a little while until it’s available as it seems many readers are anxious to read Prince Harry’s story.
While you’re waiting for Spare, I have some suggestions for other royal reads. I am focusing on Queen Elizabeth II and her family for this list, but be sure to check out the library’s catalog if you’re interested in the history of the British monarchy pre-Queen Elizabeth II.
