Prince Harry reportedly made a surprising decision regarding his explosive memoir. While a sequel was planned after the resounding success of his first book Spare, it seems that the Duke of Sussex has finally given up on this project. An unexpected turnaround that raises many questions.
Harry gives up writing a second book to preserve his family relationships
According to information from the magazine’s royal expert TatlerPrince Harry would not like to further aggravate tensions with his father roi Charles III and his brother prince William.
The publication of Spare in January 2023 had indeed the effect of a bombshell, the duke revealing very private details about the royal family. The book had sold more than 3.2 million copies worldwide.
“He is not ready to write another book after damaging his relationship with the king with Spare“, confided a source close to the couple to Tatler.
Meghan Markle and Harry would therefore be determined to calm relations with the rest of the British royal family. An objective hardly compatible with the publication of new shattering revelations.
Harry’s harsh criticism of Camilla, aggravating factor in tensions
In his memoirs, Prince Harry did not spare Camilla Parker Bowlesdescribed with her brother as “the other woman” at the time when she was still dating Prince Charles.
“Please don’t marry her, just be together, dad“, the princes would have asked their father according to Point.
Words that would have considerably harmed the relationship between Harry and the new king.
“I think the fact that he criticized so openly [la reine Camilla] certainly damaged his relationship with his father“, analyzes Ingrid Seward, royal expert, with 9Honey.
But Charles III would have taken a step back from the attacks of his youngest son.
“Charles has such a busy life, so much going on, I don’t think he blames Harry, I just think he’s withdrawn from Harry“, she believes.
A strategic turnaround for the Sussex couple?
This unexpected renunciation of the publication of a second book could mark a turning point in the Sussex strategy. After having multiplied the shocking speeches since their withdrawal from the royal family, the couple seems to want to calm things down. Their image among the British has in fact been seriously damaged by the publication of the prince’s memoirs.
Meghan and Harry are today more and more isolated in Los Angeles. Their major projects, like their contracts with Netflix et Spotify, are struggling to take off. An easing of relations with the monarchy could allow them to bounce back and restore their image. It remains to be seen whether the royal family is ready to reach out to them after the numerous controversies.
