Prince Harry intends to ignore his father, King Charles III’s, Christmas invitation and spend the first Christmas since the Queen’s death alone.
According to insiders, Prince Harry will not spend Christmas with the royal family due to new disclosures in his explosive memoir.
They claim that communication is “at rock bottom,” and that the Duke of Sussex will turn down an invitation from King Charles before the book’s global release on January 10.
The royal family has already been horrified by the book, which is titled Spare in honor of him growing up under Prince William’s shadow.
Insiders predicted that after the Queen’s death, the fighting relatives would “heal relations.”
During the past month of mourning, Harry and his wife Meghan returned to Britain in a low-key manner.
However, they have “no intention” of reuniting with the family at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for their first Christmas without the Queen, according to sources.
According to an insider, the news of the book’s title and further details about how Harry will deliver “raw, unflinching honesty” caught the royals off guard.
“It’s so dreadfully awful that this book could signal the end of any relationship Harry hopes to have with his family,” one reader continued.
Everyone is bracing themselves for yet another nervous and tense moment at the Sussexes’ mercy.
In an interview with US talk show host Oprah Winfrey last year, Harry, 38, and Meghan confessed that a senior royal made a racial remark about the skin tone of their son Archie.
Harry also discussed his “genetic trauma” as a child and his strained ties with his father and sibling.
The collapse of his parents’ marriage, as well as the death of his mother Diana in a car accident in Paris in 1997, had a profound impact on his life.
Penguin Random House emphasized it in an advertisement, adding, “For Harry, this is his story at last.”
He was offered a three-book deal worth over £36 million, including a £20 million advance.
Harry and his family are thought to have had little contact after he returned to California. However, it is said that after the Queen died, he proposed giving his children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, the titles of prince and princess.
According to Buckingham Palace, the King will take Harry’s place in an honorary military position.
The monarch will succeed the current Captain General of the Royal Marines, a position that the Queen abolished after the Duke of Edinburgh left for the United States.
Princess Anne was widely expected to receive the distinction.
It gives me great pleasure to assume the duties of your Captain General, the King said in a statement to the Royal Marines on the occasion of their 358th anniversary yesterday.
We requested comments from Buckingham Palace and the Duke of Sussex’s private office.
