‘Wounds are very raw’ Royal Family ‘worried’ over Prince Harry’s ‘explosive’ memoir | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV
The Duke of Sussex’s tell-all memoir is set to be released at the end of this year and Russell Myers claimed the book “is going to be explosive”. The royal expert opened up on the memoir on Monday’s instalment of Lorraine where he told viewers “wounds are still very raw” for the Prince.
Christine Lampard who was filling in for host Lorraine Kelly briefly discussed how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to visit the UK next month.
She then asked about the Duke’s upcoming memoir and the widespread speculation about what the book may contain about his life.
She added: “It’s very interesting times, isn’t it? I am guessing there is a lot of worry within the Royal Family.”
Russell replied: “Well there is, definitely, I mean this memoir is going to be explosive.”
He also claimed “wounds are still very raw” for Prince Harry, who stepped down as a senior royal in recent years, during the ITV interview.

Royal observers expect the book to cover his mother, Princess Diana’s, death as well as his move to America and his parenting of children Lilibet and Archie.
Russell said: “Whatever he says, people around will be pouring over the detail.”
The expert also claimed Harry’s team has been in touch with the judicial investigators in Paris who looked into Diana’s fatal car crash.
“This year is, of course, the 25th anniversary (of her death) coinciding with the release of his book,” Russell added.
When news of Prince Harry’s memoir was released, he said in a statement: “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.”
He said the book, which will cover his time in the public eye, would be “accurate and wholly truthful”.
The Duke quit his role as a senior royal in January 2020 when he moved to California with Meghan.
The couple opened up about their decision to “step back from royal duties” during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
