Daisy McAndrew, an NBC royals commentator and journalist, recently weighed in on the news of Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir. The announcement has sent ripples of astonishment through the Royal Family, who were reportedly caught off guard by the news.
McAndrew stated that, according to insiders, the Royal Family was “completely flabbergasted” and “very, very concerned” about the memoir’s contents. This revelation comes after Prince Harry’s earlier move to the United States, which was intended to provide him and his wife, Meghan Markle, with more privacy. However, the memoir announcement seems to contradict this desire for privacy, leading many to question the motivations behind it.

While the memoir’s proceeds are said to be donated to charity, the specifics remain unclear. It’s unclear whether “proceeds” refers to royalties, the advance, or both. With an estimated advance of $20 million, the financial aspect of the memoir has become a topic of much discussion.
The memoir, which promises to reveal “truth” and “accurate” accounts, has further strained the already fragile relationship between Prince Harry and the Royal Family. The potential for reconciliation seems even more distant after the Oprah interview, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made allegations that contradicted the Royal Family’s account of events.
The interview, viewed by millions globally, sparked widespread debate and speculation. If even a fraction of those viewers were to purchase Prince Harry’s memoir, it could potentially surpass the sales of former President Barack Obama’s memoir, currently Random House’s best-selling memoir.
The memoir’s impact on the Royal Family remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: Prince Harry’s memoir is poised to be a global event, captivating audiences and potentially reshaping the public’s perception of the Royal Family.
