On January 10, the Royal Family will enter a new era that may be characterised by disappointment, rage, retaliation, and broken hearts.
After all, on same day, Prince Harry will publish his autobiography, Spare, which is anticipated to contain a number of fresh, shocking allegations and discoveries on the Royal Family.
As of right moment, neither the general public nor Harry’s family are aware of the precise contents. But it seems like the memoir’s mere publication will be enough to exacerbate tensions between Harry and the other royals.
Even though producing a book is not the easiest task in the world, memoirs frequently focus on former relationships and events as their main subject. As a result, it’s intriguing to hear about the extravagant claims made about Harry’s strategies for gathering specific data for his tell-all project.
A source for the Sun tabloid said that Harry contacted a number of his ex-girlfriends and requested their assistance with the book. He reportedly didn’t receive the response he had hoped for.
Harry’s anticipated memoir has long been a topic of discussion. According to numerous sources, the Penguin Random House-published author’s book will inevitably lead to further hostilities between him and the rest of the Royalsk Family.
Harry appears to have reached out to more people than just his friends. The Sun claims that during the summer, Harry sensationally reconnected with a few of his ex-girlfriends. According to reports, the prince encouraged his ex-girlfriends to provide some private information for the book, including information about their relationships and his own background.
His two most well-known girlfriends were Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy. It’s unknown if they were among the individuals Harry questioned.
According to a source who spoke with The Sun, some of the people Harry contacted believed his request was “ironic,” not the least of which being the fact that he has previously asked his friends and close associates to refrain from talking about his personal life in the public at all.
Harry reportedly inquired, but he was reportedly turned down a number of times.
According to a person who spoke to the newspaper, “friends and girlfriends were courteous and said they would think about it but ultimately most said no.”
It was seen to be somewhat ironic that Harry would freak out if he ever suspected they talked to the media, but now he wants them to when he needs their assistance.
Robert Crampton, a royal specialist and journalist, stated in The Times that Harry asking his ex-wives for assistance was a “high-risk strategy.”
“His friends, along with former lovers Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, have so far been souls of discretion. However, after they begin conversing, they might develop a liking for it, particularly if and when one of them experiences difficulties. Scandal has a propensity to come out into the open at some point,” he wrote.
Although there has been conflict between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, this outcome was not desired by all parties. Author Katie Nicholl reported that the late Queen frequently enjoyed video chats with Harry and Meghan as well as her great-grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, saying that she truly wanted to keep them linked with the Firm.

Author Katie Nicholl reported that the late Queen frequently enjoyed video chats with Harry and Meghan as well as her great-grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, saying that she truly wanted to keep them linked with the Firm.
The Queen was apparently repeatedly “hurt” by Harry and Meghan, despite Her Majesty’s goodwill toward them.
The New Royals author Nichol remarked on the To Di For Daily podcast, “It’s vital to underline that there were occasions when she [Queen Elizabeth] felt pretty let down and rather disappointed by them.
She would regularly organise a large sleepover for her grandkids and great-grandchildren around the end of August. Additionally, she always made a point of inviting Harry and Megan, but they opted out over the past few of summers.
When the Queen genuinely wanted to get the family together over the summer at Balmoral, Nichol continued, “Things like that — not being together at Christmas and not being together there — I think that grieved her.”
They observed the final Christmas in the UK in 2018. They chose to spend the 2019 holidays in Canada with Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother.
Only a few weeks later, they made their Firm departure announcement and departed the UK.
That does not imply, however, that the royal family was prepared to completely distance itself from Harry and Meghan. Balmoral Castle reportedly extended an invitation to the Sussex family to spend the summer there, but they turned it down.
Katie Nichol claims that despite Queen Elizabeth’s invitation, they turned it down.
When Harry and Meghan turned down the Queen’s invitation to spend a long weekend at Balmoral in the summer of 2019, when she usually hosts a weekend for her grandchildren and a special sleepover for her great-grandchildren, there were raised eyebrows, according to Katie Nichol in her book, which was cited by the Express. Instead, the couple chose to take Archie to Ibiza and the south of France.
A source close to the Sussexes told me that “playing happy family at Balmoral didn’t exactly match their narrative.”
