Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kick-started 2023 with a thread of controversies. From polarizing docuseries to a tell-all memoir called Spare to the South Park skit attack, the year has been one tough crack for the Duke and the Duchess. But before all this, the air was weighing eerily heavy on the touchdown of Spare when Prince Harry appeared for an interview with Anderson Cooper, narrating in depth the puzzles of the royal household.

Finally, in the last stretch of the year, the all-revealing exchange has charted the ladder of popularity most astoundingly.

Earlier this year, on January 8th, Prince Harry chose to unveil some jaw-dropping nitpicks of the royal soil with Anderson Cooper for CBS’s 60 Minutes. Back then, he also touched upon the topics of Spare’s coverage while heightening the fanaticism in the audience before its launch. Now, at the last leg of the calendar year, the conversation has emerged as Variety’s 100 most-watched telecasts for 2023.

Prince Harry/A Hans Zimmer Score, episode 17 from season 55, ranked at the 40th position in the chart. As per the reports, it garnered a sizeable viewership record of 12,464,000 people. So much so that it also triggered the memoir’s edging to the fastest-selling nonfiction book, which was released only 2 days later. Steering the wheels of conflicting eye-openers, it also heralded as a Guinness World Record holder.

The Prince’s paparazzi moments often capture the debacles of tomorrow. But the 60-minute interview had clicked on the fusses of the long-bearing frustrations of the Duke, which gripped the world’s attention. But what exactly was there in the discussion?

2023 was the year when the Sussexes were not only prey to disputes, but also were the anchor for them. It started before Spare’s release, but 12 months later, it has left some lasting imprints on the receiver’s minds. In the sit-in interview, Prince Harry opened up on several issues, including his dire trial of coping with Princess Diana’s death and how his military undertakings had helped him attain a sense of “normalcy” and “purpose”.

Moving further, the Duke also took a jibe at the bigotry of the British press while talking about his wife and children. But one of the biggest takeaways from the dialogue was his cold approach to Queen Camilla and her relationship with King Charles. The Prince supposedly labeled her as the “villain” who was required “to rehabilitate her image” because she was the “third-person in the marriage”. Hence, with the irresolvable declarations and game-changing equations, it after all does not come as a shocker that the conversation emerged as one of the most favorites for America.
