[Man] apologizes extensively to yourself, to others, but above all to yourself for the fact that you may have disappointed yourself, and then you go on and take one step at a time. “Expressing yourself is out of the question for the royals – And so the 61-year-old also circumvents an exact answer to the question.

Prince Harry is writing his memoirs – and his family is upset
Prince Harry, 36, announced a few days ago that he would publish his memoirs at the end of 2022. An announcement that is said to have upset his close confidante, the cousins Princess Eugenie, 31, and Princess Beatrice, 32, in particular.
“The emotional turmoil while they wait over a year for publication will be excruciating,” a source told DailyMail. “What’s really telling is that even the relatives he’s closest to, like Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, are stunned by what he’s up to.”
But other members of the Royal Family are also concerned about Harry’s plans – especially Prince Charles, 72. “Let’s face it, Harry has never been close to the Duchess of Cornwall. If he documents their strained relationship in the book, it could be at a time when in which Charles lays the foundation for his becoming king, can be very harmful. “

Duchess Meghan was disappointed after an Oprah interview
In her explosive Oprah interview, Duchess Meghan, 39, spoke in tears for the first time about her thoughts of suicide and the lack of support from the Royal Family during this gloomy time. They were harsh allegations that are still discussed today.
Meghan knew that before she sat in front of the cameras. Because, as the British and US media are now reporting, one of the things she wanted to achieve with her story was an apology from the royal family. But the Duchess of Sussex is apparently waiting for this until today. “I think she was hoping for an apology, I think she was hoping they would call and say, ‘We’re really sorry, we see now that we pushed you too far. We should have acted differently ‘We should have sat down as a family and talked about your mental health problems,’ “suspects Royal author Tom Quinn in the documentary” Meghan at 40: The Climb To Power “. “I think she was appalled afterwards that the family’s reaction was so negative and that they didn’t react the way she wanted them to.”

Will Prince Harry reveal his friends’ secrets?
A few days ago it was announced that Prince Harry, 36, would publish his memoir at the end of next year. Since then, there has been speculation about the content of the book, especially the Royal Family is said to tremble before new, explosive revelations by the prince. But not only they are eagerly waiting to see which episodes from Harry’s life will find space in his memoirs – the royal circle of friends should also fear alleged revelations.
As reported in the British media, Harry’s friends see his behavior as “hypocritical”. Because: While the Duke of Sussex always demands loyalty from his friends from Eton and the army and even “threw people out of his circle of friends because they spoke to the press”, he is currently more and more talkative.
“It feels very hypocritical to think that Harry kicked people out of his circle of friends for talking to the press,” one of Harry’s friends told DailyMail. “There is a fear that he will reveal details from his hedonistic youth that some fear will ruin their careers and personal lives.” Another source says, “If Harry vilified any of his old school and military comrades in his new book, they promised to step out of line and tell their story.” Some buddies are also said to be annoyed that Harry did not contact them or reply to their messages after the announcement of the book.
Autumn Phillips is “very much in love”
On June 14, 2021, Autumn, 43, and Peter Phillips, 43, announced their divorce through a spokesman. It was “a sad day,” said an official statement in which the ex-couple continued to ask for privacy and consideration for their children.
Now, around six weeks later, the British media are reporting that Autumn Phillips has a new partner by her side: The 43-year-old is said to love the super-rich Irish real estate tycoon Donal Mulryan, 52. The couple should “make no secret of their relationship” – but there is a catch: Mulryan is still married to his wife Louise Mulryan, but the couple has been separated for two years. The divorce process is ongoing, but could be expensive for the entrepreneur: Louise and Donal were married for 27 years.
