THE COMING STORM: Prince Charles, Prince William have NO IDEA what's in Prince Harry's tell-all bombshell
WESTMINSTER, LONDON: It looks like Prince Harry is set to shock the world with his tell-all memoir, even the royal family as new sources claim that not even his brother and father are aware of the contents of the upcoming memoir. Just like the common people, the royal family will only get to read the book once it hits the shelves. Sources claim that neither Prince Charles nor Prince William, or their attorneys and advisers, have been made privy to the contents of the book.
The royal family doesn't know the contents of Prince Harry's tell-all memoir and is neither aware of the publication date. However, publisher Penguin Random House previously said that it hopes to drop the book somewhere around Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Sources who are close to the royal family confirmed to The Telegraph that the Prince of Wales hoped his team would have been sent a copy of the book ahead of its publication, but it didn't happen. Industry experts believe that Penguin Random House is keeping the contents of the tell-all memoir under wraps to enhance their 'shock drop' strategy. Other royal aides believe that the book will not have the 'explosive' revelations that have been predicted as it hasn't been shared with any members of the royal family.

How much did Harry get paid for his memoir? Massive deal for allegedly 'Royal-bashing' book
One source told The Telegraph, "These publishers are too not the types to publish and be damned. They have reputations to protect. The biggest potential issue is not defamation but truth - accuracy." This comes in response to some of the insiders claiming that they are shocked by the publisher's willingness of risking their image by publishing a book that could most certainly contain highly subjective allegations. While it is a common practice to confirm the allegations with the accused before publication, it is, however, not required.
Prince Harry's tell-all memoir is too private
Harry bagged the $23.6 million deal in 2021 for his book and is expected to talk about the memories of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, and the breakdown of his parents' marriage. The subject that he has chosen is interesting but how he will depict the said characters on a paper is what interests the readers' most. The book has reached its publication stage as it was confirmed by The Sun that the Duke of Sussex and ghostwriter JR Moehringer finished the book earlier this summer and the final version has been signed off by lawyers.
Speaking about his book to the publishing house, Prince Harry said, "I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful."
