Chris Imafidon said he felt ‘privileged’ to be first in line
Professor Chris Imafidon, from Epping, Essex, bought three copies for himself, friends and family.
The charity worker said: “I feel very privileged to be the first in line and I look forward to seeing what Harry has to say about his life.”
Train maintainer Lloyd Rosser, 64, was buying the book for a friend.
He said: “She’s a massive royal fan so I thought it would make a nice surprise. Personally, I’m not that fussed. Maybe I’ll give it a read when I can get it cheaper.”
Sarah Nakana, 46, a property surveyor from Dulwich, South London, added: “I’ve already got the audio book on order but just couldn’t wait. It’s very important to hear what he has to say about his life in his own words. This is a historical record.”
The store remained open until 2am, while Euston Railway Station’s WHSmith saw one woman buy two copies at midnight.
It comes after Prince Harry sparked controversy as he promoted the book in interviews with ITV and CBS.
The Duke of Sussex crossed the King’s ‘red line’ by blasting Queen Camilla as “dangerous” and a “villain”.
Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James revealed the key echoes of Princess Diana’s 1995 Panorama interview displayed in Harry’s sit downs with Tom Bradby and Anderson Cooper.
