Prince Harry’s Controversial Memoir Sparks Tension within the Royal Family
Much anticipation surrounds Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, Spare, but not without its fair share of controversy.
The title itself is a reference to the British media's infamous characterizations of Prince William and Prince Harry as the heir and the spare, respectively.
Despite the polarizing title, the book is expected to achieve tremendous success in terms of sales.
However, recent signage in Birmingham during the Christmas season has left many perplexed.
WH Smith, a prominent retailer, has already begun offering the book at half its retail price, allowing customers to pre-order it.
This move seems peculiar, considering the initial assumption that the book would have no trouble selling at its full price.
In fact, according to a Palace insider who spoke to OK Magazine, Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship has been strained ever since the announcement of Spare.
The controversy surrounding Spare extends beyond the royal brothers' relationship.
There are claims that King Charles III intends to prevent Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from attending the official coronation ceremony if the memoir portrays Queen Consort Camilla in a negative light.
A source close to the family reveals that Charles has dedicated the past two decades to gaining public acceptance for Camilla.
He loves her deeply and is fiercely protective of her.
Even Queen Elizabeth has come to accept their relationship.
If Harry were to attack Charles and Camilla in his book, it is believed that Charles would choose Camilla over his son.
The announcement of Prince Harry's memoir has reportedly caused anxiety within the entire royal family.
They are concerned not only about the content of the book but also about the controversial and provocative nature of its title.
A royal insider stated that the title carries a heavy connotation, raising concerns about what lies within its pages.
To add to the intrigue, Prince Harry has chosen ITV journalist Tom Bradby for a forthcoming interview.
Bradby, who has known the prince since he was a teenager, has been sympathetic towards him despite his profession as a journalist.
It is worth noting that the book was actually written by ghostwriter J.R. Moringa, making the label of “author” for Harry somewhat exaggerated.
The choice of Bradby, who had previously worked as a royal correspondent in the 90s and has a personal connection to both William and Harry, raises eyebrows.
In addition to the interview with Bradby, Prince Harry is expected to be interviewed by renowned reporter Anderson Cooper on his show, 60 Minutes, which will air on CBS two days before the book's release.
Cooper, who famously locked eyes with Harry at his wedding in 2018, expressed his excitement about the upcoming interview.
The presence of such high-profile journalists adds to the anticipation surrounding the memoir.
As the release date approaches, the tension within the royal family continues to mount.
Prince Harry's memoir promises to shed light on his life and experiences, and it remains to be seen how his revelations will be received by the public and his family.
The controversial title, choice of interviewers, and the potential impact on relationships within the monarchy all contribute to the intrigue surrounding Spare.
