The Royal Family Is Allegedly ‘Nervous’ About Prince Harry’s Memoir
During an interview with Page Six, Tom Bower spoke about Harry’s upcoming memoir and called it a “time bomb.” Bower, the author of “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” also commented on the news that the memoir’s release date has been pushed back
He said, “I think that everybody knows that the Sussexes can’t amend the book in any way.” “Can they make it nastier? Because otherwise, we wouldn’t get sales.” According to several reports, King Charles, in particular, has been worried that Harry might focus on Queen Consort Camilla in the memoir.
A source recently told The Sun that the King has “shared his concerns with Prince William and is keen he somehow goes on the record and sticks up for Camilla should the book attack her. But as much as William loves his father, he’s unlikely to want to get involved. In all likelihood, he will try and stay neutral.”
The Memoir’s Release Was Postponed
Harry’s memoir was initially scheduled for release in November, but Penguin Random House, the publishing company, has postponed the release date to next year. A report from Page Six stated that Harry is “desperate to rewrite the book,” or at least parts of it, in the wake of the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The report stated that Harry also wants to “take out or downplay” the contents of the memoir regarding King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate. During Bower’s interview, he shared that chatter in London says the memoir comes out around “Easter and will include a chapter on the Queen’s funeral.”
Several controversial moments between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royal family during the funeral received extensive social media coverage. Bower also said, “And there’ll just be more material about how they were snubbed and all the rest of the invective against the royal family. So I think to that extent, the delay will add to the poison.”
Prince Harry’s Memoir Is Already Stirring Things Up

Harry and his publishing team have kept silent on all details, even the title. One thing fans do know is that the prince wrote the memoir with the help of ghostwriter J.R Moehringer.
A report by Page Six also revealed that Harry has received “at least $20 million upfront from Penguin Random House and that he’s donating part of the proceeds to various charities. Some royal experts have also opined that King Charles is waiting for the memoir’s release before he bestows the Prince and Princess titles on Harry’s kids, Archie and Lilibet.
