Prince Harry is set to publish his first book, Spare, where he promised to be honest and raw about his remarkable and painful journey on earth.
Meghan Markle‘s husband plans to dive deeply into his childhood which included a lavish and privileged upbringing in palaces and mansions.
Prince Harry has also decided to start the book with the most challenging chapter of his life — the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Prince Harry took the difficult decision to start with the most life-altering moment of his existence — walking behind his mother’s coffin accompanied by Prince William and many other members of the Royal Family.
The synopsis of the book reads: “It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last.”
It continued: “With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”
With the confirmation that Prince Harry will open up about that life-defining moment, it appears that King Charles III has decided to take his part of the guilt and blame for it.
According to a royal expert, King Charles regrets forcing his young sons to participate in a public display of grief. Prince William was 15 years old, and Prince Harry was 12 when Princess Diana died.
Author of The King: The Life of Charles III, Christopher Anderson, spoke to Royally Us and revealed that King Charles is emotional about the topic because it has haunted him all these years.
The author stated that King Charles would forever regret forcing Prince Harry and Prince William to walk behind their mother, Princess Diana’s coffin.
He went on to say that dreadful moment has marked Prince Harry’s life until this day and has led to him suffering from PTSD.
He said: “I think it haunts him, as it haunts me. [William and Harry have] spoken about it. I’ve written that I believe it’s a form of PTSD.”
Prince Harry revealed in the past, he and Prince William were bullied into walking behind the coffin.
The commentator shared: “Harry uses terms like the triggering of even flying into London, and it reminds him of that day when he had to walk behind the coffin. They were, more or less, bullied into doing it by the Palace, by the men in gray who really run the Palace, [who] Diana used to complain about.”
The royal author also spoke of Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, who “regrets” trying to “convince Prince William and Prince Harry [to walk behind the coffin].”
He also pointed out that King Charles “understands that to some extent he is responsible for [William and Harry] having to suffer through.”
The Duke of Sussex will share his feelings with the world, and King Charles will find out more about them.
