King Charles III should be careful about what he wishes for because his renegade son, Prince Harry, might deliver it to him most unpleasantly.
It has been almost a year since Prince Harry signed a lucrative deal to publish his first memoir. Prince Harry promised readers a fascinating tell-all book that will include stories from his childhood, his days in the military, and his marriage with Meghan Markle.
By teasing to lift the veil of secrecy on his personal and complex life, Prince Harry spooked the entire Royal Family, who believed he would once more drop embarrassing revelations.
In late summer 2022, Prince Harry and his ghostwriter completed the book, and his lawyers reviewed it. The publishing company was eyeing a late fall or early winter release to maximize their massive investment.
Sources close to King Charles confirmed that no one in the British Royal Family received advance copies of Prince Harry’s highly anticipated book.
A person familiar with the situation boldly declared that King Charles did not wish to get the tell-all and had no intention of reading it. Via The Sun, a royal source claimed: “It’s unlikely to be on his reading list.”
After Queen Elizabeth II‘s death and King Charles ascended to the throne, Prince Harry and the publishing company opted to forgo the Thanksgiving and Christmas timeline out of respect for the mourning royals.
It appears that the book will be released in 2023. According to one of King Charles’s friends who spoke to The Daily Mail, King Charles had a change of mind and is now eager to get his hands on Prince Harry’s book before it is released. However, that will not happen.
Unable to go through the content of the potentially explosive book before it hits bookshelves, King Charles is now looking for ways to stop it from ever seeing daylight.
A friend of the King revealed to the media outlet: “The question inside the Palace is: “Can the book be stopped?” It may be that even Harry can’t stop it at this stage, but the feeling at the very top is that there’s no good that can come of airing grievances in public.”
According to The Daily Mail, King Charles has lawyers waiting impatiently to dissect the book, searching for inaccuracies and half-truths.
The outlet claimed: “Lawyers to the Royal Family at the firm Harbottle and Lewis are expected to be on standby to read the book when it comes out.
While King Charles is vexed by the project, he has no plans to drag his son to court.
The publication revealed: “But it is highly unlikely the King would wage a legal battle against Harry, whose £36 million deal with Penguin Random House may mean he is unable to stop it. It comes at an important time in the King’s reign.”
The Duke of Sussex is not showing his hands for now.
