To promote “Spare,” and promises to become a best seller, the Duke of Sussex offer an interview to the “60 Minutes” program.
The royal family must prepare for another explosive book from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, according to the British press. Just days before the release of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," Meghan Markle is said to be "contemplating" chronicling "her life in the spotlight and leaving no stone unturned" about her time under Elizabeth II.
A Hollywood agent, quoted by the British tabloid Daily Mail, expressed surprise if Meghan were to refrain from sharing her perspective, emphasizing the uniqueness of her journey from actress to marrying a prince. While "Spare" is positioned as Prince Harry's opportunity to tell his story, it appears that Meghan's narrative holds equal intrigue, given her distinct experiences within the royal fold.
Meghan Markle is no stranger to writing, having previously ventured into children's literature with "The Bench." As part of their four-book deal with Penguin Random House, the Sussexes are also planning to release a wellness book, with strong indications that Meghan's memoir will be the fourth publication—a highly anticipated autobiography that is expected to provide insights into her life and experiences.
Advance readers of Prince Harry's autobiography describe it as more incendiary than his documentary, portraying a complete break with the royal family. The book promises a candid and captivating portrayal of Harry's life, from childhood to the present day, encompassing his dedication to the royal family, military service in Afghanistan, and the joy of marriage and fatherhood.
Expected to hit shelves in just over a week, "Spare" is touted as a piece of literature marked by raw, unflinching honesty. While there are indications that King Charles may not be portrayed negatively, Prince William is said to face strong criticism in the memoir. Concerns arise about the potential permanent damage to the relationship between Harry and William, especially given Harry's critical stance in his Netflix documentary.
In addition to the book release, Prince Harry is set to be interviewed by ITV journalist Tom Bradby, who previously worked on the documentary "Harry and Meghan: An African Adventure." The interview promises to provide further insights into the Sussexes' experiences, including Meghan's acknowledgment of media pressure during her early motherhood.
Amidst the anticipation, there are fears that the contents of Prince Harry's memoir could strain relationships within the royal family further. While Charles is reportedly portrayed more positively than anticipated, Prince William and even Kate Middleton are expected to face criticism. Speculation looms about the potential irreparable damage to the relationship between the two brothers.
The memoir's release, initially delayed by three months due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, has heightened interest not only for its revelations but also because Prince Harry has committed to donating proceeds to charities—a gesture that adds a philanthropic element to the much-anticipated literary work.
