The Duke of Sussex has had a strained relationship with his family, but a potential sequel to his explosive memoir could cut ties with the royals forever.
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has been issued a stern warning regarding his potential plans to release another memoir.
His first book, "Spare", caused a significant stir within the Royal Family, revealing private details and conflicts, including disputes with his brother, Prince William, and pleas from King Charles for the siblings to reconcile.
While Harry has hinted that he has enough material for a second book, royal experts strongly advise against such a move.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said: "I can’t imagine that Harry would contemplate a follow-up to Spare. He has indicated that he wants to move on: he has said his piece, vented his anger, and faced the consequences.
"Bond further expressed her doubts about Harry revisiting his grievances in a new book. She suggested that any future projects might focus on his work, the Invictus Games, or his experiences with parenthood, rather than past issues.
"If he did go there, then I am sure the response would be a continued dignified silence and a resounding crash as the Palace doors slammed on any hope of future reconciliation," Bond told OK! Magazine.
This caution comes in light of Royal expert Tom Quinn's comments to The Mirror. Quinn emphasized that a sequel to "Spare", especially one containing more revelations about family conflicts, would likely end any remaining relationship between Harry and his family.
"Publication of a new book with yet more revelations about fights and bullying would certainly put an end finally to Harry's relationship with his family, even though there isn’t much of that relationship left anyway," Quinn said.
Prince Harry during the promotion of "Spare", mentioned that the original draft of his memoir was significantly longer, containing details that he chose not to publish out of concern for his family's reaction.
"The first draft was different," he said in an interview with The Telegraph. "It was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.
"There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know. Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me", he added.
