Prince Harry will not mend feud with Prince William due to upcoming memoir, says expert

Prince Harry is set to release his tell-all book next year and one royal expert believes it will reveal the "huge amount of hurt" in his relationship with Prince William

Next year Prince Harry is set to release his tell-all memoir that he promises will be a truthful account of his life.

And one royal expert has claimed that the release of the book will in no way help to mend the rift between Harry and his older brother Prince William.

The brother's frosty relationship was reportedly sparked by William's concerns over Harry's fast-developing relationship with Meghan Markle ahead of their royal wedding in 2018.

The tense row quickly boiled over - with Harry claiming his brother was "trapped" within the royal system during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey after quitting as a senior royal.

Since leaving the UK in early 2020, Harry has only seen his brother twice - at the funeral of Prince Philip and at an unveiling of a statue of their late mother Princess Diana.

And now the BBC's former royal correspondent Peter Hunt has said the release of Harry's book, will not help his relationship with his brother.

Asked whether Harry could mend his relationship with William, Mr Hunt told LBC: “I think there is no way it will because he promised for it [his memoir] to be a truthful account.

"He clearly has a huge amount of hurt around how his exit from the Royal Family was handled and I think he will detail the breakdown of his relationship with his father.

"Remember in the Oprah interview, he talked about his father not returning his calls, the breakdown of his relationship with his brother William, and various other details about it."

He added: "I think at some point, the institution may reflect on how it could have handled it differently."

Harry is set to release the tell-all memoir, which he promises will be a "wholly-truthful and accurate" account of his life so far, next year.

The book is being ghost-written by Pulitzer winner J.R. Moehringer, who has previously written memoirs for tennis legend Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.

Announcing the new book in July, Harry issued a statement sharing his excitement about the launch.

Harry said: "I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man, I have become.

“I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story - the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned - I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.

“I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I've learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful.”
