Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, titled Spare and set for release in January, is causing a stir within the royal family.
Royal biographer Tom Bauer has raised concerns that the memoir could jeopardize the titles of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children.
Despite losing their H.R.H.
titles, the couple still holds the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, Bauer warns that the memoir’s content could lead to further repercussions.
In an interview with The Sun, Bauer expressed his apprehension, stating, “This book is really make or break.”
He suggested that King Charles may take drastic measures in response to the memoir, potentially stripping Harry and Meghan of their remaining titles, including those of their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Such actions would mark a significant escalation in the ongoing rift within the royal family.
If King Charles III decides to remove Harry and Meghan’s titles, he would not be the first monarch to take such action.
Queen Margaret II of Denmark recently stripped four of her grandchildren of royal titles to streamline the Danish royal family, sparking controversy and internal discord.
Similarly, King Charles aims to streamline the British royal family by reducing the number of members carrying out official duties or receiving public funds.
The release of Prince Harry’s memoir on January 10, 2023, has already drawn criticism, particularly regarding the choice of the title “Spare.”
Biographer Angela Levin, who previously worked with Harry on his biography, questioned the prince’s focus on past grievances rather than embracing his new life with Meghan and their children.
Levin criticized the title as derogatory, suggesting that it diminishes Harry’s worth and portrays him as unwanted.
Levin further condemned Prince Harry for potentially including personal attacks against the royal family in his memoir, particularly during a sensitive time when King Charles is mourning the loss of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
She emphasized the importance of Harry moving forward and leaving behind past grievances, especially after undergoing therapy to address his issues.
The controversy surrounding Prince Harry’s memoir highlights the deepening rift between him and the royal family.
As tensions escalate, the possibility of further repercussions, including the stripping of titles, looms over the Sussexes.
With King Charles facing pressure to maintain order within the monarchy, the fallout from Harry’s memoir could have far-reaching consequences for the royal family’s dynamics and public perception.
