For the third year in a row, Prince Harry skips Christmas celebrations with the royal family. He is said to be busy writing his memoirs, which promise a lot of revelations about his parents, Charles and Diana…
A time bomb hidden in the Christmas pudding. A “gift” that the Windsors could have done without. While Elizabeth II, after a nightmarish year 2021, plans to gather her family for Christmas, Harry will not attend his controversial Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle, nor the more intimate family festivities planned at Sandringham Castle. The Sussexes are staying in the US and skipping Her Majesty’s turkey for the third year in a row. Nevertheless, the royal family occupies the duke’s thoughts. His father Charles, who has become his bête noire, in particular.
According to Richard Kay, Daily Mail columnist and friend of Diana’s, Charles’ youngest son has “spent time digging into the relationship between his mother and father” for his long-awaited memoirs. The book – edited by American journalist J.R. Moehringer, who previously collaborated with Andre Agassi in 2009 and won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 – was announced by the prince last June. It must be released in 2022, the year of the 70th anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II, who keeps a very bad memory of the separation of the couple of Wales. Thank you, Harry…
“It is not the prince of birth, but the man I have become who writes”
While the fifth season of the series The Crown, airing in late 2022, will dissect a little more of the wreckage of Charles and Diana’s marriage, the Duke of Sussex is said to be planning to unmask his father and Camilla, who made his mother cry so much. In the statement announcing his memoirs, prince Harry barely veiled the threatening nature of his project: “It is not the prince by birth, but the man I have become who writes. I’ve worn a lot of hats in recent years, both literally and figuratively, and by telling my story, with my ups and downs, my mistakes, the lessons I’ve learned, I hope to demonstrate that we all go through similar things, no matter what background we were born into.”
For Richard Kay, the designs of the Duke of Sussex, who is also feuding with his brother William, are cause for concern for the Crown: “The reign of the Prince of Wales is getting closer and closer and every protrusion from his son reminds people how unconvincing a future king Charles is.” Never mind that the son of Elizabeth II and the mother of his two sons had appeased their relationship, before the death of the Princess of Wales. The fuse is lit. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year…
