The former editor of Tatler and Vanity Fair has cautioned Prince Harry that if he publishes his frank book, there would be “no going back.”
According to The Daily Telegraph, The Diana Chronicles and The Palace Papers author and royal historian Tina Brown does not believe the divisive book will ever “see the light of day.”
They’ve taken all this money and signed Harry to a book contract where he’s meant to break the beans about his miserable existence as a royal, but now he’s truly tormented about it because he knows there’s no turning back once he does it, she added.
“I don’t believe there is any possibility for Harry to come back if the book goes on,” I said. Therefore, I’ve always believed that the book won’t be published.
The journalist said she believes Diana would have counseled her son to find a way back into the family. The journalist was one of the last persons to see the Princess of Wales alive in the summer of 1997.
The memoir had been approved and was scheduled for publishing in the fall, but the Duke of Sussex, who is writing it as part of a nearly £40 million three-title contract, is said to have requested some substantial changes.
According to a source, “Harry has put a spanner in the works.” In light of the Queen’s passing, her burial, and the accession of his father Charles to the throne, he is eager for improvements.
Things in the book would not appear so nice if they are published so soon after these occurrences, according to the author. He demands that some passages be modified immediately. By no means is it a whole new work. He is compelled to change by all means. It could, however, be too late.
According to best-selling novelist Jeffrey Archer, the prince is already penning a new chapter that will focus entirely on his grandmother’s passing and the circumstances surrounding her burial.
The initial copy was judged “too touchy-feely” and put an undue emphasis on mental health concerns, according to publishers Penguin Random House, who had previously sought a revision, The Mail on Sunday reported last month.
Although there is no official release date set, American sources claim that publishers want it in stores by November 24, the day before Thanksgiving, to be ready for the lucrative Christmas market.
Penguin Random House hailed it as “an intimate and sincere memoir,” saying that “Prince Harry will give an honest and fascinating personal picture” in a statement announcing the worldwide publication agreement.
However, because to worries that it would include harmful discoveries, palace officials are allegedly contemplating methods to prevent Harry from releasing the book at all.
The question being asked within the Palace is, “Can the book be stopped?” according to a friend of the King. Even Harry may not be able to stop it at this point, but the top management believes that complaining in public won’t accomplish anything positive.
When the book is published, lawyers for the Royal Family at the company Harbottle and Lewis are anticipated to be available to read it.
Additionally, their much anticipated Netflix series may put another wrench in the plans, despite reports that Harry and Meghan are planned a year-long thawing in their relationships with the rest of the family.
As part of their $100 million arrangement with the streaming service, Harry, 38, and the Duchess of Sussex, 41, who now reside in their $14 million Montecito estate with their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, are working on a documentary.
Prior to The Crown’s fifth season premiering on November 9, it was anticipated that the production will be accessible to see in December.
According to reports, the pair now wants to modify the show in order to “downplay much of what they have said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales,” which might push out the series’ broadcast date until later in 2023.
The pair is reportedly ‘having second thoughts’ about the project today, according to sources. One Netflix source told the publication: ‘Harry and Meghan are terrified about attempting to tone down even the most basic words. However, it is their account, as told by themselves.
‘They’ve made big demands to pull back material they themselves have contributed, to the degree that some Netflix personnel feel, if granted, it would essentially postpone the project permanently,’ another person added.
Tina Brown spoke about rumors that the duchess is looking for a “private estate” in Hope Ranch, an upscale neighborhood a few miles from their present residence in California, in addition to cautioning Harry about the dangers of writing his much anticipated memoirs.
Speaking at the Henley Literary Festival, Miss Brown observed that in comparison to what these other people had, their $14 million house in Montecito is a little cottage.
She said that at some time, she could be searching for more than just a new home. The only thing I can say is that Elon Musk is still unmarried.
