Prince Harry‘s memoir is coming out soon, and several members of the British royal family do not know what to expect. It seems that Meghan Markle‘s husband is ready to tell all.
The 37-year-old prince will put most of his life out there on his own terms. However, the consequences could be devastating for some royals.
Many royal observers say that if Prince Harry is really ready to shake things up and go all the way, his top target might be his stepmother, Camilla Parker Bowles.
To this day, people close to the renegade royal blame the Duchess of Cornwall for the collapse of Prince Harry’s parents’ marriage.
The union between Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana never really got a chance because Camilla was always a huge factor.
While Harry was little at the time and might not remember all of the sordid details, he has reached out to many people who had more information than him.
Their verdict is clear; he is not the biggest fan of the future Queen. Richard Kay from the Daily Mail recently gathered from his sources: “It was pretty clear that he did not have a high opinion of her,’ the friend later told me. ‘He wasn’t very complimentary about her, and I very much doubt he forgot what we talked about that day.”
The father of two has often signaled that he intends to take a positive approach with his memoir, but many believe that this might not be reconcilable with the promise of a “heartfelt” recollection of his life.
Moreover, the relationship with his brother, Prince William, is already on shaky grounds. Telling his entire story is probably not going to help.
Even if he decides not to go after William directly, Kate Middleton‘s husband might be forced to side at least publicly with the other members of the royal family. He is an heir to the throne, and as such, he will have to defend the system that his brother is trying to destroy.
Some had hoped that the book could pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. This is possible because the Duke of Sussex really loves his grandmother. Additionally, by inviting the Sussexes to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, the Queen did her best to diffuse some of the tensions between the two sides.
However, according to Kay, most of the interviews for the memoir were conducted before the trip. There might be a mixture of anger and positive feelings.
One thing is certain, Harry’s overall message will not please many in the royal family. For example, if he intends to say as experts suspect that Markle and the Army rescued him and turned his life around.
This message here might be simple; however, the subtext will be clear — the British royal family failed him as he was swimming in darkness. No matter how it is done, Harry’s book will change the British royals.
Andrew Morton wrote the game-changing biography Diana: Her True Story 30 years ago, and it appears that Prince Harry will deliver something similar in terms of revelations.
