$20 Million Memoir Delayed: Prince Harry’s Book Publication Postponed Following Queen’s Death

Prince Harry's highly anticipated memoir, worth a staggering $20 million, has hit a roadblock as its publication faces a significant delay.

The memoir, which has been the subject of much speculation and excitement, was initially scheduled for release in October.

However, reports now suggest that the book may not hit the shelves until next year, in a gesture of respect following the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duke of Sussex's memoir, ghostwritten by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junior Moringa, was reportedly all set for publication by October 2022.

Despite earlier delays pushing the release date to the end of this year, the current mourning period within the royal family has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the book's launch timeline.

According to a close source to the Duke as cited by The Telegraph, the memoir's release will be postponed well beyond the official 10-day mourning period observed by the royal family.

Prince Harry, in discussing the project previously, expressed his desire to share his personal journey, stating, “I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.”

Before Queen Elizabeth's demise, royal biographer Angela Levin had hinted at tensions surrounding the memoir's publication.

Levin suggested that Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife, was deeply involved in assisting him with the book and would be displeased if its release faced further setbacks.

The couple's decision to relocate to California and step back from their royal duties in 2020 has been met with mixed reactions, particularly after their candid interview with Oprah Winfrey where they criticized the monarchy and highlighted issues of racism within the royal family.

In a separate development, King Charles is reportedly considering amendments to the law governing his official stand-ins, following his ascension to the throne.

The proposed changes would see other royals, including the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex, and Princess Beatrice, relieved of their roles as potential substitutes for the monarch in case of incapacity.

The Telegraph's report on King Charles' initiative has sparked varied reactions, with some viewing it as a positive step forward.

Daily Mail journalist Richard Eden weighed in on the matter, expressing approval for the proposed adjustments to the law, indicating potential shifts in the dynamics of royal succession protocols.

As the anticipation for Prince Harry's memoir continues to build, the uncertainties surrounding its publication timeline serve as a reminder of the delicate balance between personal narratives and royal responsibilities.

The evolving saga of the royal family's dynamics, coupled with the intricate web of public expectations, adds layers of complexity to the unfolding narrative of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's post-royal life.
