Prince Harry’s Memoir Publication Date Pushed Back Due to Poor Quality

's highly anticipated memoir has been pushed back due to concerns over its marketability, according to recent reports.

The Duke's publishers are said to be unimpressed by the first few iterations of the book, leading to the project being delayed with no new publication date announced.

Sources close to the matter have revealed that 's publishers are not paying him $20 million to rehash old material or write a book solely focused on wellness.

They want to shake things up with new gossip, and the Duke's first few drafts of the book have been scrapped as a result.

The publishers reportedly want Prince Harry to turn up the heat by writing about his recent trip to England.

The book needs to represent Harry's life in full, so it makes sense to include his return back home and his participation in the Queen's Jubilee this June, as it will undoubtedly be a key component in his personal journey.

However, the aftermath of leaving royal life is still a work in progress, and Harry's publishers want to touch on that part of the story as well.

The Duke's lawyers have accused the Mail on Sunday of falsely presenting him as a lying, spinning manipulator while the UK tabloid argued his legal team's statement was confusing and inaccurate.

Prince Harry is about to embark on a new legal battle following a new update in his libel claim.

A High Court judge has now begun overseeing a preliminary hearing after the Duke of Sussex made a libel claim against a newspaper publisher over an article about his legal case against the Home Office.

The Mail on Sunday story carried the headline, “Exclusive: How Prince Harry Tried to Keep His Legal Fight with the Government Over Police Bodyguards a Secret.”

Just minutes after the story broke, his PR machine tried to put a positive spin on the dispute.

A court filing by Harry's team read, “In the reader's eyes, Harry has been revealed to be a lying, spinning manipulator, willing to put out an inaccurate version of events after his improper attempt to keep his case secret failed.”

The Mail's story suggested a January statement from Harry's team sought to put a positive spin on the case after initial failed attempts to keep at least some details of it secret.

The January statement by Harry's team read, “The Duke first offered to pay personally for UK police protection for himself and his family in January of 2020 at Sandringham.

That offer was dismissed.

He remains willing to cover the cost of security, as not to impose on the British taxpayer.”

However, the newspaper argued a Home Office court filing revealed that the offer to pay had not been made at two other stages.

Harry's lawyers said it amounts to an allegation that he lied and manipulated, while the newspaper argued it was simply suggesting PR spin and a positive gloss.

The Duke's filing said, “From the opening paragraphs, the scene is set, the reader is being led to believe that Harry has been up to something improper, trying, A, to hide it and, B, then to spin, EA.

Manipulate, it leading to inaccurate reports across the media which mislead the public.”

The newspaper's lawyers wrote in their own court filing that its article does allege that the messages emanating from Harry's legal and PR advisors were confusing and inaccurate and led to inaccurate media coverage.

Such statements are made on Harry's behalf.

Prince Harry's lawyers are committed to accuracy online, and any suggestion that he had been insufficiently vigilant is a stretch, given the time frame and the fact that legal advisors could be expected to accurately summarize what the claim is for, with no such allegation expressly made.
