Has Harry’s book been delayed?
The mystery continues about the whereabouts of Prince HarryHis memoir seems to have led to a burst of optimism at Buckingham Palace, where the family and likely courtiers worried what would happen to them.
The source of this optimism rests on the somewhat fragile notion that no one knows when or when the book will come out. Penguin Random House has said the book will come out in the fall, but it’s not on the list of upcoming books. It was written by author JR Moehringer, and Harry said of it: “I am writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.”
A person in the royal family told Sun on Sunday: “If this book comes out this year as originally planned, it should be on the publisher’s marketing and advertising lists — unless they’re planning a surprise or delay. Its omission raised a lot of eyebrows in royal circles.”
With such a huge fortune, the possibility that a publisher could plan a surprise price cut to maximize publicity is a distinct possibility — so any nerves to be soothed at the palace may soon start tinkling again about what Harry might be about to make dish or bitch, which could affect any hopes of a reconciliation with his brother Prince William and the rest of the royal family.
Indeed, a spokesperson for Transworld, part of the Penguin Random House, told Sun on Sunday: “We don’t include every book on the list so there’s nothing to extrapolate from there.”
Harry won this week the latest round of his and Meghan Markle’s legal actions against the Associated Newspaper.
