Prince William, Harry’s brother and the heir to the throne, previously addressed his family’s wicked past in his visit to Jamaica last year.

“The appalling atrocity of slavery forever stains our history,”

William said.

“I want to express my profound sorrow.” 

Forbes recently reported, that the book’s publisher, Penguin Random House, said the book has seen record-breaking sales, selling over 1.4 million copies on its first day.
