Harry's memoirs are coming out at the end of this year and it will be a blockbuster. He has reportedly been paid $20 million dollars in advance (wow!) and there is an additional $18 million on the back end still to come in! Jeeze. Must be nice being royal!
But in light of the death of his beloved grandmother Queen Elizabeth, the rumor mills are going absolutely berserk with juicy gossip about the fact that Harry has contacted his publishers in a desperate attempt to edit the book, which he now reportedly thinks is too harsh and perhaps a bit insensitive now that his grandmother has died.
The book is going to sell like hotcakes but one does have to worry a little bit about what is in it. Indeed, if everything is true, then what is the big deal? Why change the truth and rewrite it to save people's feelings? Just this week palace courtiers published a book that made unsavory claims against Harry's wife, Meghan Duchess of Sussex. They called her a bully who left a group of grown men and women "broken". She had the audacity to wear white at her wedding to Harry in the ultimate disrespect to the queen. And for her wedding, she threw a hissy fit when they put egg in her vegan menu for her wedding guest. (I wonder why that would make a person less than thrilled?)
This woman, the Duchess of Sussex, according to these people, seems to have been an absolute devil, worse than terrorists and child molesters apparently, because not even these types of characters are hated as much as the Duchess is despised in certain circles.
But everyone has their recollection and everyone has their truth. And if the Duchess bullied these grown men (one was self-described as "unyielding" and "inflexible") then, of course, they have a right to write a book and tell their truth.
What is curious about it, is how they all insisted that the Queen was gutted when the Sussex's decided to leave. Here is this supposedly bully reducing the courtiers to tears and bullying everyone and breaking all the protocols of the palace to the point that at a certain point the Queen herself allegedly intervened and said to Meghan "in this family we don't speak to people like that" and then, on the other hand, everyone was gutted when Meghan decided to get out of their institution and return to California where she belonged.
Bizarre, no?
Anyhow, why should Harry, therefore, change his book or soften anything he said in his book just because the Queen is dead? It is good for everyone to hear the truth from all perspectives and get both sides of the story. What I would really love to read are Meghan's memoirs. I would love to hear what she really thought of palace residents such as the Queen and others.
