The highly anticipated autobiography sparked quite a bit of controversy when it was published early this year, giving people a colorful account of Harry’s life to date, and a glimpse into life behind the royal curtain.
This limited offer is available to the first 75 guests of each attraction who hand over their well-thumbed pages – “a nod to the time of the king as he ascends the throne.”
The limited-time offer only runs on Saturday, May 6 and is valid for guests who present their copy of Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ memoir at the box office. All submitted literature will be released after the coronation and distributed to thrift stores.
