Prince Harry’s future plans seem to have the royal family on edge, with concerns rising over the possible release of a second memoir and what revelations it may hold. The Duke of Sussex has already caused waves with his first book, Spare, which offered a behind-the-scenes look at royal life and criticized several members of the royal family, including his brother, Prince William. This memoir, while a bestseller, has caused a lasting rift between the Sussexes and the British monarchy, with tensions remaining unresolved.
Harry’s Legal Battle and the Fear of More Revelations
Harry’s ongoing legal case regarding police protection in the UK has only added to the palace’s concerns. Royal correspondent Cameron Walker has suggested that Harry might feel compelled to “spill more secrets” if he loses this case, further fueling speculation that the Duke could use any future book release as a form of retaliation. This fear has made the royal family nervous, as any new revelations could worsen their already strained relationship with Harry and Meghan.
Can Harry’s Second Book Live Up to Spare?
While there has been no official confirmation regarding the release of a second book, celebrity ghostwriter Joshua Lisec, who has worked on over 90 books, speculated that Harry may struggle to match the success and impact of Spare with any follow-up. According to Lisec, the second book would face an obvious challenge: “If you had an interesting story to tell, you would have told it in the first book.”
With much of Harry’s life already in the public domain, Lisec believes there would be limited material to keep readers engaged. He also predicts that a second memoir would likely be compared unfavorably to Spare in terms of both quality and sales.
Meghan Markle’s Potential Memoir: A New Source of Interest?
However, Lisec raised an interesting point: a memoir from Meghan Markle could perform significantly better than Harry’s. According to Lisec, any new revelations from Meghan about her time in the royal family would likely captivate the public and generate more interest. “Any new revelations would likely be better received in a book by Meghan Markle, rather than one by her husband,” he noted, indicating that Meghan’s perspective on royal life could draw in even more readers.
What’s Next for the Sussexes?
Though neither Harry nor Meghan has confirmed a second book project, the speculation around their future literary endeavors continues to grow. Fans and critics alike are left wondering if Harry will release another memoir, or if Meghan’s potential book will be the next big publishing sensation.
For now, the royal family remains apprehensive about what secrets may emerge next—whether through Harry’s second memoir or Meghan’s own account of her time within the royal fold. One thing is certain: the Sussexes’ next moves are bound to stir up even more media frenzy and public attention.
