In 2021, Prince Harry not only once caused panic shock in Buckingham Palace. After his sensational interview with US talk show host Oprah Winfrey, he soon announced his memoir. The eagerly awaited memoirs are due out this fall. British media and royal fans have been speculating about the content for months.
Prince Harry, 37, has promised an accurate and truthful review of his life so far. An announcement that may not have inspired confidence among members of the royal family. Prince Charles’ youngest son, 73, has undergone a transformation with his departure from royal duties. It seems he’s swimming free of his old identity. His joint interview with Duchess Meghan, 40, in March 2021 revealed wounds that seem difficult to heal. Speaking to Oprah Winfrey, 68, the couple made serious allegations against the Windsors. It also involved a racist incident, allegedly emanating from a member of the royal family, who is said to have made the issue of Archie, 3, the color of his skin, ahead of the birth of the first Sussex baby. Could Harry now dare to reveal the name of the person concerned?
Prince Harry: Speculations about his memoirs are picking up speed
There is still no official release date for Prince Harry’s memoir. An exciting announcement from Penguin Random House about the book, which was created in collaboration with author JR Moehringer, is also pending. Only this quote from the royal arouses curiosity: “I am not writing this as the prince I was born, but as the man I became.” British newspapers such as “Mirror” are already speculating about possible “bombs” that the renegade Royal could burst.
Who made racist remarks?
This statement in an interview with Oprah Winfrey probably rocked the royal family the hardest: Harry claimed that his family had a problem with the topic of racism. He had “conversations” about how dark the skin of his future first child Archie could be. The Sussexes kept the name of the person in question to themselves. It was “very harmful to her,” Meghan explained. Harry assured that he would never release details of these conversations.
The royal family responded with a statement from Queen Elizabeth, 96, herself: “The whole family is shocked to learn how challenging the past few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of skin colour, are troubling. While some perceptions differ, the issue is taken very seriously and within the family circle discussed privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will forever remain beloved members of the family.” A statement that should have a reassuring effect. The question remains whether Harry is now ready to answer open questions in this regard.
What was discussed at the Sandringham Summit?

The royals are said to have debated the future of the Sussexes for two hours. The monarch then announced in an official statement: “Today my family had very constructive discussions about the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I support Harry and Meghan’s desire to start a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to be full-time employed members of the We respect and understand their desire to live more independently as a family while they remain a valued part of my family.”
A few months later, Royal historian Robert Lacey claimed in his book “Battle of Brothers: William, Harry and the Inside Story of a Family in Turbulence” that tensions had run particularly high between the brothers and that William had refused to deal with Harry to have lunch. Details of this allegedly tense meeting should throw a brighter light on the allegedly already very fragile sibling relationship.
Why did the brothers grow apart?
At least since the Sussexes decided to resign their roles as high-ranking representatives of the British royal family, rumors of a crisis between Harry and William have picked up speed. The British press repeatedly addressed the older man’s concerns that his brother was getting involved with his new love too quickly. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry revealed that there is definitely something explosive between the two of them with a comment about him and his father. The two were “trapped in the system, like the rest of my family, my father and my brother are trapped, they are not allowed to go, and that’s why I feel very sorry for them,” said the 37-year-old at the time. William reacted “very upset,” it said. But has there been a clarifying conversation in the meantime? Harry might reveal it in his memoirs.
How does Harry feel about his grandmother’s desire to make Camilla king consort?

To this day, he is said not to have forgiven her and his father for the extramarital affair that caused his mother’s unhappiness – in complete contrast to his older brother. “William accepted Camilla in terms of what she meant to his father. He dealt with it as an adult. […] Harry on the other hand can’t stand Camilla, he doesn’t want Camilla to be queen, he’s very angry that this is happening. He hasn’t come to terms with it yet and probably never will,” royal expert Tina Brown told The Telegraph. On the eve of her 70th jubilee in February 2021, Queen Elizabeth officially declared that it was her “sincere wish”. , Camilla after her death at the side of Prince Charles as Queen Consort [Königsgemahlin, Anmerkung der Redaktion] to know. A public reaction from Harry to this request from the highest level is still pending.
Who does Prince Harry want to protect the Queen from?
For the first time since moving to the United States, Duchess Meghan and her husband paid a short visit to the Queen in spring 2021. The Sussexes were in transit to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands. A few days later, in an interview with the American TV channel NBC, Harry attracted attention by saying that he wanted to make sure that the monarch was “protected” and “had the right people around her.” From whom he wants to protect his grandmother remained his secret. Will it air it in his book?
How did the platinum anniversary reunion go?

At the big anniversary party or at the jubilee pageant, people searched the rows of honorary stands for them and their offspring in vain. It is not known whether a meeting with the relatives took place apart from the celebrations. The only surprise was the small family’s early departure, which is said to have taken place before the end of the official festivities. It is considered unlikely that Harry had the opportunity for a detailed and perhaps clarifying private conversation with father Charles and brother William. But perhaps the Royal teaches us better in his memoirs.
