Everyone recommended the audiobook version of Prince Harry’s Spare because he has such a beautiful voice, and he brings a little humor and lightness to some Spare parts passages. He even sings a little halfway, a few words from the Spice Girls and Elton John. I stuck with the print edition of the book, I prefer to read, although I enjoyed the audio clips posted on social media and I’m aware the audio was a HUGE hit with TikTokers. Well, does that mean Harry is a shoo-in for next year’s Spoken Word Grammy Award? I guess.
Meghan Markle is sure her husband Prince Harry will add the Grammy winner to his list of accolades thanks to his latest memoir. An entertainment industry insider told DailyMail.com the Duchess and her team think Harry is a ‘shoo-in’ to win the Grammy for Best Spoken Word (Best Audiobook, Storytelling and Storytelling Recording) for the audiobook of his Spare memoir at the ceremony next year.
“He’s a natural storyteller, he has a soothing voice and even sings on the audio version,” the source said.
At one point in the audiobook, Harry sings a verse from Elton John’s Your Song when discussing the tribute concert for the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
“It was Harry’s decision to sing the Elton John song in the audiobook. Who knew he could sing? Meghan thinks he’s up there with President Obama, who won the same award a few years ago,’ the source adds.
This year’s Grammy Awards take place on February 5 and the nominees for Best Spoken Word Album are Viola Davis, Questlove, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jamie Foxx and Mel Brooks.
Meghan hopes her husband will be considered for the 2024 award.
‘There was even talk of Harry appearing at the next Oscars as a possible presenter [in March]’, adds the insider.
Yes, the Mail has no industry sources who know what Meghan thinks. They just included her in this story because they’re obsessed with her. It’s an obvious story, and of course Harry will be one of the top contenders for the Spoken Word Grammy next year – Spare parts audio sales pretty much guarantee him a nomination, and the icing on the cake is that Harry is very good at storytelling books. As for the rumors of an Oscar presenter slot…we’ve heard those rumors over the years. In retrospect, I’m glad they hadn’t gone to last year’s Oscars, they would have found themselves in the middle of the Will Smith/Chris Rock slap in the face situation. So, will they come to the Oscars this year? Why not, I hope they will. I still feel like they’re pretty much guaranteed to get invites to the Vanity Fair Oscar party too.
