What's really in Harry's 'BRUTALLY HONEST' BOOK?

It’s the most eagerly awaited royal book in history.

Prince Harry’s detailed account of what really goes on inside the world’s most famous family.

In the year since Harry revealed his plans to write a memoir, endless questions about what he will say have gone unanswered. Who will he attack? What explosive ‘truths’ will he get off his chest? And how many bombshells will be hidden among the 120,000-or-so words he plans to unleash?

And how much focus will Harry put on his controversial relationship with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and how she has impacted his thinking? As his wife and the mother of his children, it would perhaps be fair to think she has played a part in the book and, after the couple’s interview on Oprah, it’s arguable that her feelings aren’t ones of positivity.

The very act of writing an insider account has left Harry outcast from the family he seems to be so gravely betraying. Ultimately, the biggest question yet to be answered is just how much damage will the book do to the reputation of this most sacred of historic dynasties? A ‘brutally honest’ first draft of royal history, penned by one of its central characters. In the tempestuous world of the royals, it really doesn’t come much better than that.

 

Expect the unexpected

It has now been more than a year since Harry revealed he was writing a memoir and there’s been much speculation about what he’s likely to say and when it will hit the shelves.
