The royal family is nevertheless on edge despite the fact that the book has been described as a “lovely read” by those who are familiar with it.
The Duke of Sussex is a prince, multimillionaire, and fifth in line to the British throne, but come winter, he’s just another author advertising a book (one that’s currently leading bestseller rankings, despite its publication being over two months away). Prince Harry “will travel to Britain to promote his bombshell biography Spare,” The Daily Mail writes. Senior royals are “reported to be preparing themselves for [the] book’s January 10 release.”
The Daily Mail adds that Harry might be in his native country early in 2023 to explain his purpose in publishing the book, which could result in the Palace depriving him and Meghan of their Sussex titles. The visit in the new year will “overshadow” the royal family’s first Christmas in Sandringham since Queen Elizabeth’s death in September. Marie Claire claimed Wednesday that Harry and Meghan Markle won’t attend the party two weeks before Spare’s release.
There are also rumours that Harry had to send in the manuscript for his book many times before the publishers agreed to publish it, which “sparking fears that it was ‘sexed up’ with revelations about the royal family”, according to The Daily Mail.
According to a second source, “the book is much worse than people think.”
According to a source who is close to Harry, he wrote the book for himself rather than using it as a “takedown of his family.” This information was given to The Telegraph. Those who are acquainted with the manuscript describe it as a “beautiful read,” and they say that the experience of confronting his previous troubles in the process of writing has been therapeutic for the author.
