Prince Harry recently landed a massive contract to write several books, including a highly anticipated tell-all memoir that will be out in late 2022.
It is believed that Duke of Sussex received $20 million for the book deal.
Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is also part of the package — she is expected to pen a book that focuses on wellness and mental health.
This will be the Duchess of Sussex‘s second literary work — in 2021, and she published a children’s book inspired by a poem she wrote for Prince Harry and their young son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
In a statement issued by Prince Harry and the publisher, the father of two revealed that he had been secretly writing the book for the past year. He also promised an honest account of his life to the readers.
This week, a royal expert has questioned Prince Harry’s promise to deliver to the world a captivating memoir.
Expert Jesus Enrique Rosas asked what is left to discover about Prince Harry after laying his soul and life bare in his recent interviews.
He said that the world watched Prince Harry grow up in the Palace walls where he enjoyed a wonderful childhood thanks to his mother, Princess Diana. They saw him struggle after her death during his teen years and spiraled out of control as a young man.
Rosas said that Prince Harry has no secrets left to reveal to readers because he has left nothing to the imagination with his raw and honest answers during interviews, documentaries, and his memorable public incidents, (including the ones in Las Vegas.)
He said Prince Harry barely has any secrets left to reveal added: “If he mentions mental health again, and you can bet that he will, he’s going to hit a wall. If you’re a celebrity and you write a memoir, it’s to capitalize on the fact you have fans that want to know something new about you. Something secret, something you have been struggling with for years.”
He brought up the fact that every aspect of Prince Harry’s life has been documented before he was even born.
He said: “But Harry has the not-so-small problem that his life has been documented ever since he was born. Both official and unofficial sources have left very little to the imagination, and Harry himself has left very little to the imagination. So the only thing we have left is the topic of mental health Harry has been mentioning over and over again for years.”
Appearing on a series about mental health, the Duke of Sussex left no stones unturned by talking about his issues with drugs and alcohol.
He confessed: “I didn’t want to think about her. Because if I think about her, then it’s going to bring up the fact that I can’t bring her back.”
The Duke continued: “What’s the point in thinking about someone you’ve lost and you’re never going to get back again? I was willing to drink, and I was willing to take drugs, and I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling. I was so angry with what happened to her. And the fact that there was no justice—at all. Nothing came from that. The same people that chased her into the tunnel photographed her dying on the backseat of that car.”
Meanwhile, royal expert Phil Dampier has slammed Prince Harry for his plan to publish the book during Queen Elizabeth II‘s jubilee.
He pointed out: “If Harry had any intention to patch things up, he would appreciate that the year should be really concentrated on the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. To release his book in the same year as that is disrespectful, and the timing couldn’t be worse.”
Prince Harry will have to deliver the goods with his book.
