Panicking Prince Harry Makes Urgent Revisions to Explosive £17m Memoir Following Queen’s Death
In a race against time, Prince Harry is frantically making last-minute alterations to his highly anticipated memoir, valued at £17 million, following the recent passing of the Queen.
Concerns have arisen that certain sections of the book may now be deemed insensitive, prompting the Duke to take action.
Moreover, with his father Charles assuming the throne, Harry may also fear potential repercussions from the content.
It has been revealed that the Duke had already received an advance of approximately £17.5 million for this candid autobiography, which forms part of a lucrative four-book deal totaling £35 million.
Despite the Duke's efforts to reach out to publishers, the book has already been approved and is expected to hit the shelves by year-end.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Penguin Random House, the publishers of Harry's memoir, demanded improvements to the initial draft.
Sources suggest that the publishers were willing to pay a staggering $20 million upfront, fully aware that the book's content would generate immense sales and global exposure.
However, the first draft failed to meet their expectations as it delved heavily into emotional aspects and focused extensively on mental health issues.
Eventually, after significant financial investment and effort, the final draft has been completed and authorized for publication this year.
Nevertheless, Harry's desire to refine the book in light of recent events, such as the Queen's funeral and his father's ascension to the throne, has thrown a wrench into the process.
The Duke is concerned that certain sections may not be well-received so soon after the Queen's demise and his father's new role.
Consequently, he wishes to make revisions, although a complete overhaul is not on the cards.
Harry is desperate to introduce changes, but time may be running out.
Meanwhile, Meghan, Harry's wife, found herself embroiled in fresh controversy surrounding another recently published royal book.
According to courtiers, this new publication titled “The Hidden Power Behind the Crown” alleges that palace staff referred to Meghan as a narcissistic sociopath.
These aides even formed a group called the “Sussex Survivors Club,” claiming that Meghan deliberately sought rejection from the royal institution.
Furthermore, the book asserts that during a 2018 tour of Australia, Meghan complained about not receiving payment for her royal engagements.
It also resurrects bullying allegations against the Duchess of Sussex prior to their departure from royal duties in 2020.
Meghan has vehemently denied these claims.
Another book, “The New Royals,” reveals that the Queen was surprised by Meghan's decision to wear white at her wedding to Harry in 2018.
A family insider remarked that the Queen, belonging to a different generation, believed that if one had been previously married, a more subdued off-white hue would be appropriate, as exemplified by the Duchess of Cornwall.
During their recent visit to the UK for non-royal charity events, Harry and Meghan were present when news of the Queen's passing broke.
Within the royal family, there were already concerns that any confidential information shared with Harry over the past year might find its way into his memoir.
Nevertheless, the family extended olive branches to the couple during the mourning period.
Prince William invited Harry and Meghan to join him and his wife Kate in observing the flowers and receiving well-wishers at Windsor Castle.
