Britney Spears' and Prince Harry's memoirs have been shortlisted for the British Book Awards' Book of the Year category.

According to the BBC, Prince Harry's best-selling book from 2023, Spare, is nominated in two categories.

It occurs thirty years after the King, his father, was named author of the year in 1990—the year the awards were first given out.

Alan Partridge, a comic book character, and Sir Patrick Stewart from Star Trek are among the other memoirs nominated.

The Woman in Me, Britney Spears' much awaited autobiography, became available in October 2023 and quickly became one of the best-selling books of the year.

The pop star wrote a book detailing her career and her 13 years of conservatorship, during which she experienced control from her father.

She also talked about the emotional effects of a medical abortion she had in the early 2000s while dating Justin Timberlake.

The expanding number of author-podcasters is reflected in the shortlist, which includes former cabinet minister Rory Stewart nominated for Politics on the Edge and Steven Bartlett receiving two nominations for The Diary of a CEO, the name of his popular podcast.

The List by Yomi Adegoke, which examines influencers and cancel culture, has also made it to the shortlist for two different categories: Debut Fiction and Audiobook: Fiction.

According to the study, a few of the authors on the shortlist have had over 200 billion views on BookTok, a hashtag used by book enthusiasts to share their favorite readings and reviews.
