In July, Harry announced that he was to release a memoir, which will offer an “intimate and heartfelt recollection” of his life. The book will be published by Penguin Random House in 2022, with the Duke of Sussex reportedly having almost completed the final draft of the manuscript. Harry has allegedly teamed up with JR Moehringer, a Pulitzer Prize winner and ghostwriter who has written critically acclaimed memoirs for tennis player Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.

Since Harry and wife Meghan Markle split from the Firm, a number of events have reportedly caused uproar in the Royal Family, most notably the couple’s two hour CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Pod save the Queen is hosted by Ann Gripper and features Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers.

Ms Gripper said: “I remember one of our listeners saying the Oprah interview blew up the bridges.

“Given how hard he has been in what he has said since you can’t imagine him rowing back very far.

“You think [the memoir] will be more detailed, or expanding on [the Oprah interview], or justification on why he felt that way.

“So having burned bridges with the Oprah interview, this is going to drop a nuclear bomb on the remains.

“Maybe he doesn’t want to rebuild the relationship with his family.

“But on Oprah, it sounded like he did want to take some space, take some time, work out where he was and [eventually] rejoin that relationship.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told Oprah of the alleged racism Meghan faced while in the UK, and how they felt “hounded” by the British Press.

Meghan also claimed that comments from an unnamed member of the Royal Family had been made about their son Archie skin colour.

She said: “In those months when I was pregnant, we had in tandem the conversation of ‘you won’t be given security’, ‘not going to be given a title’, and also concerns and conversation about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he’s born.”  

Harry and Meghan have signed a mammoth deal with streaming service Netflix believed to be worth £109million to create original programming.

However, there is speculation that the couple will eventually have to give intimate details of their lives to justify the hefty price tag. 

Moreover, just 10 weeks after their CBS interview, Harry and Oprah starred and co-created Apple TV+’s ‘The Me You Can’t See’, a five-part mental health documentary series released on the streaming platform in May. 

There, Harry discussed the “nightmare time” in his late twenties and early thirties, where he turned to drink and drugs after suffering from “panic attacks” and “severe anxiety.

The Duke also spoke of his mother, the Princess of Wales, and his memory of her driving him and brother Prince William away from the paparazzi as fast as possible, despite “almost being blinded by tears”.

The documentary was part of an Apple TV+ deal that they had signed in addition to their agreement with streaming service Spotify last year. 

Harry said in a statement upon announcing his memoir that: “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.”
