Harry has said that he still wants a reconciliation with his family and believes one is possible, but asked whether he had burned his bridges with his father and brother, he told ITV in an interview conducted in December that aired on Sunday: “I’m not sure how honesty is burning bridges. It’s been with the press and the sick relationship that’s evolved between it and the palace. “My problem has never been with the monarchy, or the concept of monarchy. The royal palaces have declined to comment on the memoir and interviews. This means that Harry’s net favorability rating is minus 38, the lowest it’s ever been and a far cry from 2011, when he had a score of plus 65. The Sussexes, through Archwell, have declined to comment on the record. “There was a new low every few minutes,” Harry wrote of the time after their relationship went public in November 2016. “In terms of public opinion, I suspect it is Harry’s popularity itself that will be most greatly diminished.” Harry contends that by planting negative stories in tabloid media, the royal family shared culpability in Harry and Meghan feeling the need to leave the country for their own safety. The book has led to questions over whether it could deal lasting damage to the monarchy, even asking whether its future existence is now less certain. “Above all, I hadn’t been ready for the racism.

This week's bookcase includes reviews of Spare by The Duke of Sussex and Really Good, Actually by Monica Heisey.
The trope of the detective with issues and their sidekick is a familiar one, but Jo Callaghan subverts this in her debut novel. But while this book may at times be predictable, the dark humour and immersive school backdrop grip the reader to the last page. Crewe’s language is striking in its originality; his protagonists are colourful, passionate, and their principles and certainties drawn with utter conviction as they strike boldly out in search of the New Life. Recently widowed single Detective Chief Superintendent Kat Frank is experienced and trusts her instincts, and she’s put in charge of a cold case project to see how the police can work effectively with AI – and in particular, an AI detective in hologram form. Harry’s attempts to seem reflective and aware of his privilege don’t quite land – he cuts quite a sad figure, and one who is dogged by the trauma of his past. Thrilled and moved to receive a finished UK copy of my novel, THE NEW LIFE. Heisey has written an amusing and dry-witted account of heartbreak, and Maggie’s journey of self-discovery and redemption is sublime. Courage and conviction are at the heart of Tom Crewe’s debut novel. His anger and disappointment over his family’s actions radiate from every page – particularly in the third section of the book, when he falls in love with Meghan and suggests his fellow royals didn’t do enough to protect her from the media. Endless thanks to the designers, Stephen Parker and Kris Potter. But the rest of the book is full of juicy tidbits – including how Harry lost his virginity, how he had a frostbitten penis for the Cambridge’s wedding, and his various romances. It’s an easy read – sentences are short, and chapters often end with bombshell moments to keep you reading on – but it’s littered with clichés, with Harry seemingly finding bigger meaning in every moment of his life.

However, his “case for the defence” is that out of all the media coverage of Harry and Meghan since they stepped down from royal duty in 2020, this is the most “revelatory”. And while The Guardian’s Higgins is somewhat critical of ghostwriter Moehringer, Mance is effusive in his praise: “In the hands of ghostwriter JR Moehringer, acclaimed for guiding Andre Agassi’s memoir Open, Harry’s story is told sensitively and at times movingly.” More than 5,000 readers have already pitched in to keep free access to The Journal.

The Harry stories have topped the ratings on the Guardian website all week, to say nothing of the rest of the press, which has taken both a kicking and countless millions from the past week’s Spare-fest. “I didn’t care for Rupert Murdoch’s politics,” Harry writes at one point in Spare, “which were just to the right of the Taliban.” I think Murdoch owns a lot more helicopters than the Taliban, both real and metaphorical, so that particular chess piece is likely to stay on the board. What a sad state of affairs that all seems, though it’s always amusing to read frothing online comments from people whose personal understanding of duty extends to the tax on booze. Above all, this epochal saga reminds us that there is more than one way to look at that chilling term for the monarchy, “the institution”. The banter option would obviously be for all four Windsors ahead of the Duke of Sussex in the line of succession to now abdicate en masse, leaving a note for King Harry and Queen Meghan reading: “Fine – you two do it. But the bigger, unanswered question after this latest tide of revelations is surely: what does it say about us? The genuine, heart-rending pain and isolation of this bereaved child is mixed in with bonkbuster scenery chewing, hammy woo-woo and palace quarters one-downmanship – so much so that it starts to feel like Harry and his ghostwriter have invented an entirely new genre: tragic camp. Can we please, PLEASE have a Chinese or a curry?” That said, I do still have one box of mince pies and one royal tell-all left, and I think we both know I’m going to get through them.

Stripped of their royal allowance and eventually their security detail, Harry and Meg fled first to Canada before settling in America, or, as Harry cheekily calls it, “the undiscover’d country, from whose bourn no traveler returns.” I just wish, at the second-darkest moment of my life, they’d both been there for me.” By now, the stages of their affair are available to anyone who cares: the Instagram sighting, the dinner date, the week in a Botswana tent.
