Many were asking, how far Prince Harry will go in his upcoming memoir?
However, after Prince Harry’s father made a kind and public gesture towards him, those same curious souls are now wondering whether he will even publish the bombshell tell-all book this year.
In 2020, with a lot of fanfare, Prince Harry announced to the world that he signed a massive multi-million dollar deal to publish his first memoir.
It is assumed that his wife, Meghan Markle, is part of the package.
Markle is expected to pen a book on mental health. It will be her second literature, and the former American actress released a children’s book last year.
This week, Prince Charles wrote a lengthy and passionate New Year’s essay that focuses on climate change, where he surprised the world by openly praising Prince Harry.
The future King of England wrote: “As a father, I am proud that my sons have recognized this threat… And my younger son, Harry, has passionately highlighted the impact of climate change, especially in relation to Africa, and committed his charity to being net-zero.”
Many royal experts revealed that Prince Charles’s words were an olive branch being extended to his youngest son.
It was previously claimed that Prince Harry and his father had not been speaking much in the past eight months and that their relationship has hit an all-time low mainly due to the controversial Oprah Winfrey interviews.
Those royal pundits expect Prince Harry to respond to the olive branch with a gesture or even a sacrifice — postpone his book, potentially lose money but reconcile with Prince Charles and even Prince William.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams revealed that he believes that Prince Charles’s praises come with strings attached.
The author claimed that Prince Charles hopes that Prince Harry will push back his much-talked-about memoir that will contain embarrassing revelations that will stain his reign before it even starts.
The royal pundit told the Sun Online: “I do think this tribute is very significant because this is one thing that Charles, William and Harry share in common, and that is the need to fight climate change. Harry’s relations with his father have of course been extremely strained.”
He added: “The fact that Charles has done this in Newsweek, which has a large circulation in America, I think it’s clearly a form of an olive branch in the hope that there will be a form of reconciliation.”
The author revealed that Prince Charles is expecting Prince Harry to show that he accepts his attempt to reconcile by making a move on his end, such as postponing his book.
Fitzwilliams revealed: “I think if you offer an olive branch, it’s only reasonable to expect something in return. I would have thought that some form of postponement of the autobiography would be considered.”
He also had this to say: “Otherwise, everything that is said to Meghan and Harry when they come over for the platinum jubilee celebrations – which I’m sure they will – could conceivably find its way into the book.”
The royal expert had a suggestion for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on how to handle the tell-all book with tact.
He explained: “Things could be handled, so they don’t embarrass the Royal Family further this year. The Royal family need to know the pressure is being taken off them when it comes to this autobiography. This is a way of handling it.”
