Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," has ignited a storm within the Royal circles, particularly with his pointed critiques aimed at Prince William and Queen Camilla.
Since stepping down as working Royals in 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle have been open about their experiences within the Royal Institution. However, it's Harry's autobiography that has garnered significant attention due to its unabashed criticism of his brother and stepmother.
In "Spare," the Duke of Sussex refers to Camilla as a villain and accuses her of leaking stories to the press. He also reveals a physical altercation with Prince William in 2019. Royal expert Valentine Low notes that Harry and Meghan's candid statements about William, Camilla, and even his own father make any reconciliation seem highly improbable. He adds that Prince Charles was firmly behind Harry's decision to speak out, indicating a lack of unity within the royal family.
Recent developments surrounding Prince Harry's brief meeting with King Charles during a 26-hour visit to the UK have only added fuel to the fire. Despite flying from LA to be with his father following a shock cancer diagnosis, Harry's time with King Charles reportedly lasted less than an hour.
Speculation abounds regarding the strained relationships between Harry, his father, and his brother, as hopes of reconciliation were dashed during this encounter. Some reports suggest that Prince William's absence from the reunion signaled a deeper rift within the family.
The lack of accommodation arranged for Harry within royal properties during his visit raised eyebrows, leading to his stay at an undisclosed hotel in London. Shortly after Harry's arrival, both Charles and Camilla were seen leaving Clarence House for Buckingham Palace, leaving many curious about the nature of the conversation between father and son.
Critics have accused Harry of exploiting his father's health crisis for a staged photo opportunity and attempting to regain favor with the British public. However, speculation persists that Harry's urgent visit may have been motivated by concerns about his position in King Charles's will, sparking rumors of exclusion from personal requests and inheritance.
Amidst these rumors, sources claim that Queen Camilla and Prince William are lobbying King Charles to disinherit Harry, advocating for his removal from titles, succession, and the royal fortune. The intrigue surrounding Prince Harry's memoir and his strained relationships within the royal family continue to captivate public attention, highlighting the complexities of royal dynamics and succession planning.
