The Royal Family is in ebullition with the release of Prince Harry‘s tell-all memoir, Spare, on January 10 via Penguin Random House.
King Charles III and Prince William are weighing their options. However, they do not see eye to eye on how to move things forward.
The Prince of Wales wants to retaliate, but The King is still leaving the door open for The Duke of Sussex.
The Monarch wants his son to be present at his coronation on May 6, 2023. However, the renegade royal is asking for a genuine apology for something like this to happen.
He is unlikely to receive an apology. Moreover, if he keeps revealing secrets, King Charles might reach a point of no return. The Sovereign’s red line has to do with his wife, Camilla, Queen Consort.
King Charles will do his best to protect his spouse. So far, Prince Harry has not really gone after his stepmother. Most of his focus has been on his brother, the heir to the throne.
The father of two paints the picture of a toxic relationship between two brothers who share a painful bond, the loss of their mother, Princess Diana. However, their views on service and life differ quite a bit.
The book and the promotional tour around it could force King Charles to punish Prince Harry. However, the California residents might have bigger problems than losing their royal titles.
They are desperately trying to build a brand and stay relevant. The duo has to find a way to succeed without relying on Royal Family secrets.
It seems that they are having a hard time selling other concepts to the general public. Their attempts outside of family drama have not been very successful.
The power couple’s latest project, Live to Lead , for Netflix has not hit the numbers expected. Surprisingly, promo around it has been succinct because the book and the docuseries Harry & Meghan have taken all the available bandwidth in the media.
According to the Daily Express, a PR expert explained: “Live to Lead from the Sussexes, and the Mandela Foundation has had very little press coverage and promotion behind it, which is strange given their association and the impressive list of bold names involved.”
The commentator continued: “It is one of the first tests commercially of their brand strategy to pull people in [with] personal drama and hope they stay for the philanthropy. With little to no PR, a Saturday/holiday release, and no gossip to drive organic press, it didn’t even crack the Top 100 TV shows.”
The person concluded: “The way it’s being handled feels like a throwaway project to fulfill a contract. Maybe they had to hit a certain number of Netflix projects by the end of this year. The one thing that is clear is that the Sussex name alone isn’t enough to drive views, which will hurt them.”
Some observers are wondering if the Sussexes will be able to become top producers of content not linked to the Royal Family.
