Prince William 'concerned' as Prince Harry has a lot more to say in new memoir

The media storm following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial Netflix series has died down, but it won't be long before the pair are making headlines once again.

The Duke of Sussex is set to release his memoir, Spare, in the new year where he will detail his life in the royal family and the death of his mother, Princess Diana. This comes after Harry and Meghan's Netflix series, where the couple did not hold back about the struggles they faced while working as senior members of the Firm.

Harry alleged Prince William was 'screaming and shouting' at him in front of the late Queen after he revealed his plans to move to America, and hinted his brother is linked to the leaking of a royal aide's messages. Many royal fans are left wondering exactly what Harry's book will entail, and how worried the royals should be ahead of its release.

According to royal author Katie Nicholl, who wrote the book 'The New Royals', Harry will not hold back in his upcoming memoir. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Katie said: "Similar themes, the very title is very indicative of the thrust of this book, Harry struggles with being the spare and his frustration.

"I suspect we will hear more about growing up royal which will be very interesting and clearly his journey to find the one. Their love story will perhaps be retold. There is still a lot more he can say, there are conversations he can cover."

Katie continues: "He can reveal the alleged racist royal, he can reveal what William actually said in that text message which was so tantalising held up to Meghan but not screened to the rest of the world.

"A lot has been left on a cliffhanger and there is a £35m book deal here so don’t underestimate the couple or their capacity to surprise and throw in a few more bombs just when you thought there were no more."

When asked about the potential reaction from the royals, including William, she said: "I don’t think the royal family are terrified by anything, least of all of what is going to come next in Harry’s autobiography.

"But concerned, apprehensive? Yes. Ready to respond? Quite possibly. Wearied by all of this? Absolutely."

The official description for Spare reads: "It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror.

"As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last.

"With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief."

Spare will hit the shelves on January 10, 2023.
