Palace Aides Scramble to Halt Release of Prince Harry’s Tell-All Memoir as King Charles III Prepares to Ascend the Throne
Palace aides are reportedly in a race against time to find a way to prevent the publication of Prince Harry's highly anticipated memoir.
According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, discussions have already taken place within the palace walls to explore options for stopping the book from hitting shelves early next year.
A close friend of King Charles III, who remains anonymous, shared, “The question inside the palace is, can the book be stopped?
It may be that even Harry can't stop it at this stage, but the feeling at the very top is that there's no good that can come from airing grievances in public.”
Speculation had already arisen that the release of the memoir might be delayed following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8th.
There were also suggestions that Prince Harry might reconsider some of his more controversial statements out of respect for his grandmother's memory.
Multiple media outlets have reported that the Prince is toning down the content of his memoir, especially in light of his father's subsequent ascension to the throne.
Prince Harry has received a warning that his memoir could potentially backfire on him and the Sussexes.
Grant Harrolds, the Duke of Sussex's former royal butler, urged him to reconsider his decision to publish the tell-all book.
Harrolds expressed his concerns during an interview with GB News, stating that the memoir could prove disastrous for the couple.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Harry's chickens may be coming home to roost, implying that the memoir could have negative consequences for the Duke of Sussex.
Schofield further remarked that Harry and Meghan still pose a liability to the royal family.
Harrolds concurred, emphasizing that Harry's relationship with the royals has suffered significant damage, which cannot be easily repaired.
He stressed the importance of a U-turn, stating that one public appearance would not be enough to mend the strained ties.
Harrolds warned that publications like this memoir could spell disaster for the couple, and they should carefully consider their actions if they desire to regain acceptance within the royal fold.
During a conversation on GB News, host Patrick Christies questioned whether there was still time for Prince Harry to make any amendments to his memoir.
He pondered whether Harry realized he had made a grave mistake.
Schofield responded, pointing out that if the book was initially intended for a November release, it would have likely already been in the printing process, making any changes practically impossible.
She also revealed that the palace is bracing itself for the impact of the memoir's release, as it coincides with the premiere of the fifth season of the popular TV series, “The Crown.”
The timing has raised concerns about the potential for an onslaught of negative attention in November.
Schofield emphasized that Harry should refrain from creating further chaos for King Charles at the beginning of his reign.
Meanwhile, King Charles III is reportedly adopting a wait-and-see approach regarding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's future within the royal family.
Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdote suggested that the king might choose to delay any decisions until the major unknowns surrounding the memoir and the couple's Netflix production become clearer.
