PRINCE HARRY - My Side of the STORY

THE ROYAL'S UPCOMING MEMOIR WILL EXPLORE HIS TROUBLED CHILDHOOD AND STRUGGLES WITH ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

- Natalie Posner

Prince Harry recently announced that he would not be attending the memorial service for his grandfather, Prince Philip, at Westminster Abbey in London. Friends who saw the gathering as an opportunity for Harry, who moved to California in 2020, to start healing the rift with his family felt disappointed.

Harry's relationship with his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William, will likely become even more strained when Harry's highly anticipated memoir is released later this year. The no-holds-barred tome, for which Harry, 37, was paid upwards of $20 million, will candidly discuss how the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and his discomfort within royal circles led to struggles with depression and anxiety. "Charles is portrayed as the villain," confides a royals insider, who describes the future king, 73, as an “emotionally unavailable" father to his youngest son. “Harry got into verbal fights with Charles, and they wouldn't talk for weeks.” Harry's story will probably take aim at his brother William, 39, too.
