Prince Harry has divided public opinion by publishing his first book, Spare, despite its commercial success.
Although it has sold more than 1.43 million copies in all formats in the US, Canada, and Great Britain, the book has undergone extensive editorial changes upon publication.
A short time later, Gina Centrallo, president of Random House, the division that published Duke’s memoirs, announced her retirement from the company. Now a second major figure has decided to resign.
One of the most powerful figures in American book publishing, Madeline McIntosh, CEO of Penguin Random House US, has decided to step down from her position, the company announced Tuesday.
According to the New York Times, he said that while his tenure as CEO may seem short, it was “an intense five years.”
“I don’t like to stay in one place or do a job forever,” he said.
Confirmation follows that Meghan’s husband Harry will be making his first public appearance since the release of his autobiography. The prince will attend a conference for the mental health charity BetterUp in San Francisco on March 7-8.
There is also speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could make a surprise appearance at King Charles’ coronation in May.
