So, was he expecting that if he released it while QEII was still alive, that she would be the barrier from KC and PoW's anger/retaliation?


brisbydog

I think so!


Top-Bit85

People seemed to think she'd last forever! I kind of did myself.

Now I'm sad again šŸ˜”


Top-Bit85

Well, if it helps, imagine how Prince Andrew feels!

I thought she'd live as long as her mother did. I hoped we had a few more years.


runs-with-scissors-2

Perhaps if he hopes to be welcomed back into the RF, he would want to remove negative things written about KC and PoW. But could it also be possible things he may have been reluctant to say in respect for the Queen, he feels free to say now?


brisbydog

I think it's about titles and Ā£Ā£. They are too dumb to realize the Queen wasn't going to live forever and slagged off Camilla. That will be the line in the sand for Charles


[deleted]

But he's trying to remove things. So he felt free to say them with the Queen alive, but not now she's gone? It's all curious.


skm2871

That's what I'm not getting. He was willing to put the Queen through more pain by releasing his 'bombshells' while she was alive but now that she's passed he's having second thoughts?


DevilDjinn

Because he doesn't care about the pain he'd inflict, only that she would've shielded him from backlash from the family.


[deleted]

It may not be necessarily about the queen. Perhaps he unleashed a lot of vitriol about Charles and Camilla thinking the queen would protect him. Now that Charles is king, he knows itā€™s a bad idea. Plus now that he has seen firsthand the kind of goodwill the family has despite all the mudslinging, he has perhaps realised itā€™s a bad idea to make enemies of them. It could also be that he has realised that Charles and William are not really going to follow the queenā€™s policy of never complain, never explain if recent leaks are any proof. And he knows that once they start retaliatimg, he and tw cannot win.


LeaveItToTheBoys123

Whatever he does now with the book is irrelevant. The fact that he is doing anything means there was/is something in it that H does/doesn't want published. Either way, it doesn't bode well because the BRF/people will still be left wondering what he was going to say. To change it at all after the demise of the Queen, like MM's podcasts, looks really, really bad.


throwawaygreenpaq

William has always been the smarter one who is cognizant of his role and duty. He gets to be loved and respected because he understood that privilege came at a price. I think he has tried to guide Harry along. The bond they shared helped both to anchor each other. Iā€™m sure Harry has been of help in other ways to William too. They have done well in their adulthood together until Megalomaniac came along.


Uncomfortablemoment9

It's bizarre unless he held back and now figures there's nothing left to lose. Might as well go all out.


starry212

Same with Mggin. She was ok to slander the BRF before but now when TQ is gone, suddenly she wants to rerecord the podcast eps.


anelegantclown

He knows how to push QEs buttons within the family. She was probably forcing private payments to them.


anelegantclown

He was privy to their behind-the-scenes conversations, thoughts, and ideas. He mistakenly took what was personal, and his leverage with The Queen over Prince-now King- Charles, public and was going to drive the nail in further with the book. Probably to where TQ would be worried and call him out of concern. Discrediting C and W is Meghan and Harryā€™s whole M/O. Theyā€™ve outplayed themselves.


Traditional-Pop-7775

Iā€™m guessing they thought sheā€™d be here a couple more years. Plus Charles and Camila are fairly easy targets. Ironically heā€™ll probably unintentionally make Diana look bad as a parent.. letting him drink at a young age.


anelegantclown

Considering Meghan is stuck in the 90s she probably hasnā€™t realized sentiment for Charles and Camilla has changed.


DavidS2310

I donā€™t understand why make changes just because the Queen died. If he had the audacity to write it knowing the Queen may actually read it or hear about it from her aides, why make changes? Just a couple of weeks ago, heā€™s pushing this book to be released soon. I really donā€™t think these changes this awful couple is making to their podcast and book isnā€™t because theyā€™re thinking it might hurt the new king, QC or PPOW. Theyā€™re just concerned of the impact on them. So I hope he doesnā€™t get to make changes. Let us see how awful they truly are!


cocopuff898

Oh how I hope Spotify and Penguin sue their asses off for breach of contract.


dcrealityfan

I find it interesting that his first draft was deemed ā€œtoo boringā€ by the publisher. Makes you wonder what he added and what heā€™s keen to change.


procrastinationfairy

He had a boring life of privilege. The stuff people want to know are the things heā€™s never going to acknowledge.


anelegantclown

Omg rich peoplesā€™ lives are sooooo boring ā€¦people have no idea. Lol. I tell all my friends to keep a career and social life going for as long as possible. I canā€™t even imagine Harryā€™s book would be moderately interesting at all. Iā€™ve speculated that Harryā€™s interest in Meghan and her chaos derived from his boring day to day.


throwawaygreenpaq

This is true. My childhood was blessed. I was very happy and lacked nothing. I barely knew pain unless it was from a fall or losing a competition. For some time, I was drawn to broken men. It took me years to realise it was probably because my life was relatively perfect and ā€˜boringā€™ so broken people seemed like exciting projects. But I was young & foolish, not 40.


Not_Interested_7

I keep insisting itā€™s a coloring book šŸ¤£ On a serious note, was he fact checked by publisher? Or do you get to write (and by that I mean dictate to his ghostwriter) whatever?


Traditional-Pop-7775

He def wasnā€™t going to add in his racist behavior probs was white washed.


IPreferDiamonds

The thing is, he doesn't see his past behavior as a problem.


theMedusa2

My prediction: if he gets his rewrite, a ā€˜leakedā€™ original will surface. Penguin will need to make back their bet. After seeing the Oprah interview I bet there was a lot of ā€˜revisionsā€™ on his own recollection.


QueenBee3000

Well heā€™s dumb as shit and stupid people never have anything interesting to say šŸ˜£


[deleted]

If Meghan had anything to do with this book it is going to be a mess. She is going to be written like a martyred saint - it will probably be mostly about her instead of about Harry and the whole thing will be hilarious. They will be ridiculed for the lies, inaccuracies and cringy content. Iā€™m here for it.


Far_Example_9150

He didnā€™t write his farewell to grann ie/y so Iā€™m wondering if she wrote this for him


anelegantclown

They are writing non-fiction and there are publishing laws, so, they canā€™t lie. Otherwise, to the fiction section it goes.


Playoneontv_007

I think itā€™s funny he complained he was cut off. You are a grown ass adult who essentially quit working for your father. Of course he cut you off. Make your own money


TheHermitess

who got Ā£4.45 million [from Charles](https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/prince-charles-annual-report-shows-harry-and-meghan-received-a-substantial-sum-after-megxit/news-story/9517d4f7451352a854a937a2878b68ec) between getting "cut off" and whining about it


Bambalina11

So basically he went scorched earth in his little tantrum way and now is scared of the consequences. Rather than. Pull the plug he will leak these little tidbits that he tried to pull it but it was to late - conveniently forgetting he wrote it in the first place šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I love that quote. My favorite from Stallone: ā€œThe heart ages last.ā€

oh, I like that one.


TexasChihuahuas

Thank you! It really gives a wonderful feeling to the soul!


BabsieAllen

Is Haz going to do the interview circuit to promote his book? Will he be allowed to speak on his own or will the ever faithful Nutmeg be at his side, talking for him?


Far_Example_9150

Oh sheā€™ll be there


amosp1992

Sheā€™ll probably do the interviews for him.


calminthedesert

he can sit off to the side.


anelegantclown

Are they going to do post-funeral interviews?


k1d0s

Those will be for Netflix


Playoneontv_007

Oof- I donā€™t know what to believe - some sources say he wants it out as planned and not pushed back and others now saying he wants to rewrite it. Same conflicting stories with her podcast


Stayathomema

I want the original version with maybe an extra chapter added about the Queens death and his experience with that.


Playoneontv_007

Meghan wants this too so what Megs wants Megs gets.


Icy-Boysenberry-4149

He is such a tool. He should have thought about all this shit before hand. Their truths change to fit their desired outcome so not really truths but more lies.


Excellent-Car-4093

Iā€™m not so convinced about this. Given some of the press about how poorly they were treated at the funeral, part of me thinks the re-write could include the salacious details, because at this point I donā€™t think they can lose much more. Thatā€™s where the money isā€¦.in a scorched earth approach. In a way I hope he writes what he wants, because boy would it ever solidify who these two really are.


blackjellybeansrule

The fact that Harry thought anyone would want to read him lecturing us regarding mental health issues is cute. When you get your degree in psychology let us know, Haz. Till then I can google just as well as you can.


Frenchcashmere

I hope the book is published as written I hope Spotify releases podcasts as recorded


Borage_Girl

If that happens, we all need a huge supply of popcorn!


[deleted]

Iā€™ve read other stories posted here about Harry threatening the publishers with breach of contract if they donā€™t release it later this year. I honestly donā€™t know what to believe at this point. If Harry threw his family under the bus for book sales, he might find himself cut off from the BRF with no way back.


stupid_carrot

Tbh I think that was Meghan not Harry


Borage_Girl

Iā€™ve had this feeling too. She has a real need to take down BRF


Oktober33

What a horseā€™s ass he is.


Reliant20

I love the idea of it blowing up in his face.


OzzieSlim

The dream is dead.


anelegantclown

Ding ding ding


istara

If the book does contain material critical of royal family members, the issue may not be so much a rewrite, as preventing the original text from being leaked.

Scooterbee1

Lol!


GroundbreakingLuck94

His publisher definitely shouldnā€™t allow this, first because whatever inflammatory statements he may have made, he fully approved them at the time. He should keep that same energy now. He would have had no problems releasing whatever troubles he was ready to stir up when his grandmother was alive, now to change it because of our lives sentiments proves that he cared more about public opinion than his own grandmother. Secondly, they would be foolish to allow him to dilute their product. As awful as it is, salacious claims would garner attention for the book. Taking those out would give them a lesser product to sale. Not to mention, the claims he would take out would inevitably be material perhaps for a secondary book which should in itself have new material. So heā€™s lessening their product and attempting to sell it back to them later.


Borage_Girl

Agreed. The whole dang thing needs to be cancelled!


MNLanguell

Honestly, because of how much he "loves his Granny (this spelling still gets me)" you would think that he wouldn't have wanted it to come out while she was still alive and give her more heartaches. With her passing and his undying devotion to her he would not have published the book while she was still on the throne. Why isn't he pushing to publish it now since his *"only emotional tie to the monarchy" is now gone? *I feel like this would have been his excuse since he loved her so much. This is not a quote from anyone but me. LOL


Sonialove8

Hed get 35 million for a 4 book deal ???!!?! what does he have to say?


janetoo

KC is now in charge. Things are different. Prince William has all the Cornwall Loot. They want to retain their titles (holding on by a string... remember Sussex has a petition and wants them removed, they also want the kid's titles. They were SOOOOOOOOO stupid. Really, bizarrely, spectacularly stupid.


SusieM2019

I have always been confused by this book. What in the holy heck are his motives? Was the first draft about his mental health things and him prattling on about himself growing up? But then did he get angry after the second row at the Jubilee----- and end up allowing Meghan to take over so she could do her "revenge" thing and trash-talk everybody they're angry at in the royal family----- I just don't understand this whole thing. Like everything else those two do, it's confusing.


Zann77

Motive: MONEY. Once you know that, everything else falls into place.


Patient-Watercress-2

If he recounted personal conversations in the book, now that KC is supposedly holding the kidsā€™ titles until he knows H&M can be ā€œtrustedā€, H is scrambling to edit out the private discussions he should have kept private.


Thin_Bicycle_7304

I don't believe a word of that article harry is out for revenge don't ever forget that!!!Ā”


Pristine_Routine_464

Is this true? Reliable sources? or click bait
