Prince William’s Relationship with Prince Harry Strained as Memoir News Emerges
Prince William and Prince Harry's once close relationship has reportedly become strained since the news of Harry's memoir broke.
Titled “Spare,” the 416-page book alludes to the phrase “the heir and the spare,” often used to refer to the two brothers.
While reports suggest that the memoir will provide a truthful and accurate account of royal circles, Prince Harry has assured the public that it will be a fearless chronicle of his life, offering an honest and captivating personal portrait from childhood to the present day.
Penguin Random House, the book's publishers, describe it as such.
Since the announcement of the book's release, experts claim that Prince Harry and Prince William have barely spoken to each other.
They highlight the Prince of Wales' silence over the past few months regarding the book and suggest that the royal family has been eagerly anticipating its publication.
Royal author and expert Angela Levine predicts that the family will be prepared to read the book and will have lawyers ready for any legal matters that may arise.
However, Levine believes they won't see the contents until it is officially released, leaving the royal family and their legal counsel in the dark.
In a statement to The Sun, Levine disclosed that although the royal family has lawyers ready to review the memoir, they won't do so until after its publication.
She added that the millions already paid to Prince Harry for the book won't be worthwhile if its contents are too bland.
Omid Scobie, Harry's biographer, claims that William's advice to take things easy with his then-fiancée Meghan Markle sparked years of feuding between the two brothers, who were previously close.
The release of “Spare,” featuring a dramatic cover portrait of Prince Harry, was originally scheduled for this fall but was postponed out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II following her passing.
Her death brought Charles, William, and Harry together as they attended her funeral, walking behind her coffin with their wives in multiple processions.
A source previously told The Sun that Harry is eager to refine the memoir in light of the Queen's death, her funeral, and his father Charles taking the throne.
He wishes to make changes to certain sections, but it may be too late.
The hardcover copy of the memoir is priced at £28, while the audio book, narrated by Prince Harry himself, costs £20.
However, Waterstones is already selling it for half the price.
For Prince Harry, this memoir represents his story finally being told.
Penguin Random House describes “Spare” as a groundbreaking publication filled with insights, revelations, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the enduring power of love in the face of grief.
Additionally, Prince Harry has donated £1.3 million of his £18.4 million advance to his children's charity, Centibale, and £300,000 to World Child, a charity supporting disadvantaged children.
In conclusion, the news of Prince Harry's memoir has strained his relationship with Prince William, with experts suggesting that the royal family eagerly awaits its publication while keeping their legal counsel on standby.
The memoir, titled “Spare,” promises to provide an honest and captivating personal portrait of Prince Harry's life, from childhood to the present day.
Despite the strained relationship, Prince Harry remains committed to charitable causes, contributing a significant portion of his advance to support children in need through his charities.
