Harry’s New Book Draws Criticism and Concerns for Reputation

Prince Harry's upcoming autobiography has raised concerns among critics, who warn that any attacks on the Royal Family could seriously damage his reputation.

Royal analyst Niall Gardiner told Express.co.uk that there is much less public desire for books by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Any serious criticism of the royal family in Harry's book would be viewed as quite in poor taste and would undoubtedly lead to a huge backlash, particularly in the UK.

The book, which was originally set to be published in the fall of 2022, may now be released in 2023 instead.

According to publisher Penguin, the autobiography will reveal the definitive story of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape Prince Harry.

In announcing the book, the Duke of Sussex stated that he is writing not as the prince he was born, but as the man he has become.

He hopes to demonstrate that, despite our differences, we share more things in common than we might imagine.

However, critics are concerned about the content of the book, especially after Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.

Mr. Gardiner noted that there is far less public desire for books by Harry and Meghan, and any serious criticism of the royal family in Harry's book would be considered to have exceedingly bad taste and seriously damage his reputation.

Meanwhile, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II has also brought attention to her confidant and dresser, Angela Kelly.

The Queen gave Kelly permission to write a series of novels on her time spent serving Her Majesty, which reportedly shocked Prince Charles.

Richard Kay, a royal critic, called the Queen's action strange and noted that the then Prince of Wales was worried about preserving both the dignity of the Queen and the Crown.

Kelly's books offer a special look into the true and lasting connection between the two women, but Charles was horrified by some of the informal photographs used to illustrate the books.

The books were generally harmless and limited to Kelly's area of expertise, namely the Queen's wardrobe and her clothes.

However, the prince was worried about preserving the dignity of the Queen and the Crown.

Miss Kelly became the Queen's dresser in 2001 and was in charge of purchasing the items required for the late monarch's ensembles, as well as creating some of them.

She revealed a few experiences in her second book, The Other Side of the Coin, including how she recreated the Honiton lace gown used for the royal baptism for decades by members of the firm.

Miss Kelly also disclosed that she became the Queen's hairdresser during the coronavirus lockdowns, in an updated edition of the book published in May.

During the state burial on Monday at Westminster Abbey, Miss Kelly sat next to two other close advisors to the Queen, Tall Paul Y.

Brew and Barry Mitford.

The first worked for decades as the Queen's page of the back staircase and even made an appearance in a 2012 skit that Her Majesty and Daniel Craig filmed for the London Olympics' opening ceremony.

He was among the first to assist the Queen in 1982 when Michael Fagan had entered her chamber without activating the security.

Mr. Mitford served as the sergeant-at-arms for the late monarch.

In conclusion, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II has brought attention to the Royal Family and their relationships with confidants and dressers like Angela Kelly.

Prince Harry's upcoming autobiography has raised concerns among critics, who warn that any attacks on the Royal Family could seriously damage his reputation.

As the nation continues to mourn the loss of the beloved monarch, the Royal Family must navigate these delicate situations with care and respect for the Queen's legacy.
