Prince Harry’s Controversial Memoir Sparks Outrage and Fear of Retaliation from the Palace
Prince Harry may be returning to the UK in the New Year to promote his upcoming memoir, Spare, which has caused a stir among the royal family.
The book is set to cast a shadow over the royal family's Christmas, which will be the first since the Queen passed away.
Reports suggest that the palace may retaliate by stripping Harry and Meghan of their Sussex titles.
Twitter users have expressed their anger towards Prince Harry's decision to return to the UK to sell his book.
One user said, “The absolute gall of the man.
I swear, I'm not one for protesting or making a scene, but if I were in close distance I'd get a megaphone and he'd hear my voice every stop he made.
Trending:
He really wants to embarrass and damage Charles and William.”
Media royals are reportedly bracing themselves for the publication of the 416-page title on January 10th.
Biographer Tom Bauer has warned that the memoir's reception will be a make-or-break moment for the Sussexes.
He said, “Put it this way, it's not going to make for a relaxing family Christmas.”
It has been claimed that Prince Harry had to submit his book more than once before it was accepted by publishers, sparking fears that it was sexed up with revelations about the royal family.
The book has been back and forth between Harry and ghostwriter Junior Moringa and the publishers a few times.
They wanted more than was in the first draft, and then Harry wanted to refine things after the Queen passed away.
But there has been extra towing and froing that people don't know about.
This is because the publishers wanted more areas covered and more detail on some things that were already included.
There is a real concern that that means Harry has had to s** up the book and include revelations that even he might not even be that comfortable with.
It is now reportedly feared that Harry will expand upon a claim made to Oprah Winfrey that a family member questioned what the skin color of his and Meghan's son Archie would be.
Publishers Penwin Random House say the book is written with raw unflinching honesty and is expected to contain explosive new material addressing Harry's childhood and his rift with the firm after meeting Meghan.
A source close to Prince Harry told The Telegraph last night that the Duke of Sussex wrote his controversial memoir for himself, rather than being a takedown of his family.
It was described by those familiar with the manuscript as a beautiful read, that readers from all walks of life will identify with.
The experience of addressing his past struggles is said to have been cathartic for Prince Harry.
The source said, “You can't always live your life trying to make your family or your siblings happy.
You have to choose your own happiness.”
Biographer Tom Bauer warned that the publication of the book is really make or break.
He imagines that King Charles has been warned that any retaliation won't be pretty.
All that King Charles can really do is to withhold the titles for his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.
Ultimately, he could take away Harry and Meghan's titles as well, but that's pretty drastic.
If it is as bad as he thinks it is, then Harry and Meghan have gone fully rogue.
He added that the best thing the royal family could do in this scenario would be to break ties with the pair.
The title is presumed to refer to Harry being the spare to Prince William's heir but has been translated to sound more ominous in other languages.
In Spain, it will be called In the Shadow, in Sweden The Other, and in Denmark, The Reservist.
Harry will narrate the audio version himself, but voice artist Emily Woozella warned, “To take words off a page and make them sound like dialogue is a skill.
I don't know if Harry has that skill.”
