Prince Harry’s Memoir Raises Concerns at the Palace

The release of Prince Harry's memoir has been shrouded in mystery and speculation.

While it is known that the book has been completed, there are concerns over what revelations it may contain and whether it will be delayed in light of Queen Elizabeth's death.

Reports suggest that Harry may want to rewrite sections of the book, but it is unclear if this will happen or if the book can be stopped altogether.

Inside the palace, there is angst over potentially damaging revelations about King Charles' parenting or other matters.

A friend of the king has reportedly asked if the book can be stopped, but it may be too late for that.

However, there is a feeling that airing grievances in public will do no good.

Lawyers from the royal family's firm, Harbottle and Lewis, are expected to read the book when it comes out.

It is also unclear what Harry's deal with publisher Penguin Random House allows him to do editorially.

In other news, a picture released by Buckingham Palace shows Queen Consort Camilla, King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton the night before Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

The grouping is a reference to the royal nickname given to William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan Markle when they all got along and delivered press conferences together.

The picture is also the first official one of King Charles III with his Queen Consort, Camilla.

Behind them is a portrait of King George III, the longest-reigning king in British history.

The picture was intended to record the historic moment privately for the family, but it was released to the wider world, underlining who King Charles considers to be the core of the family going forward.

Notably absent from the picture are everyone else, highlighting who's in and who's out in Charles' slimmed-down monarchy.

This public display of who is important to Charles may have fueled tensions between him and British Prime Minister Liz Truss when she forbade him from attending the COP27 climate change summit in Egypt.

This decision highlights a major new tension in Charles' life: can he be the monarch who says nothing about the things he cares so passionately about?

While the audience was reportedly cordial, the decision is likely to fuel tensions between the new prime minister and the new monarch.

If the queen famously never publicly expressed views, her son has spent a lifetime doing precisely that.

In his first speech as king after his mother's death, Charles said that his life would change as he took up his new responsibilities.

He expressed his commitment to supporting diversity, promoting community spirit, and protecting the space for those with and without faith.

As king, his interests and passions will continue, but some of his previous commitments will now continue in the trusted hands of others.

The period of mourning is over, and Charles will build on the points he has expressed to the nation.

He is mindful of his role and the need to act on government advice while continuing to support the causes he cares deeply about.

In conclusion, Prince Harry's memoir and the release of the Buckingham Palace picture have highlighted the ongoing changes and tensions within the royal family.

While the monarchy may be slimmed down, the public's interest in their affairs remains high.

The future of the monarchy under King Charles III remains uncertain, but he appears committed to his new role and the responsibilities that come with it.
