Prince Harry, a “operations room” in Sandringham to respond to Spare’s accusations

To face the revelations of Shootthe memoir of prince Harry out on Tuesday 10 January, but already talked about so much, re Charles III and the firstborn William they would have very different ideas.

To tell it, the magazine Page Six, who spoke to a “high-ranking” insider, as he is defined, therefore very close to the British royal family. “There were doubtless fears about what Harry would write, and especially they were concerned about the highly personal moments of their lives that would be chronicled», the source revealed. «The king wanted to carry on with the traditional attitude of demeanor and follow in the famous footsteps of the queen of “never complain, never explain”. ed) but the Prince of Wales has argued that perhaps the family should, in fact, launch an offensive and make a statement, in much the same way that he said: ‘We are absolutely not a racist family’, but this solution was rejected by his father». The discussion took place in Sandringham, where the royal family spent Christmas 2022.

And just in the beloved residence of Queen Elizabeth, a sort of was installed during the last holidays “operating room” which saw not only Charles and William confront each other, but also other family members and, obviously, their closest collaborators. According to Page Sixa real would have been elaborated plan to answer (possibly) to Harry’s allegations against the family, not only to those deriving from the book, but also from a series of scheduled interviews, such as the one with Anderson Cooper on CBS, and those that Harry will give to Good Morning America and al The Late Show. At the Palace they would also have tried to anticipate the Duke of Sussex’s moves, trying to understand in advance what he could have said: the quarrel with William and Harry’s consequent fall on the dog’s bowl, for example, had already been taken into account, while on other they would be taken by surprise.

Despite the scaremongering, however, it would appear that Harry has not revealed what Buckingham Palace feared most, at least so far. ‘Their worst fears have not come true’ventured the Daily Telegraph. Which? It is not known, but according to those who are very close to William, a public response will never come, nor a revenge. “He’s dignified and incredibly loyal, William is an easy target because Harry knows he won’t retaliate.” He clearly has some flaws too, but due to his position he could really keep quiet. We’ll have to see how long Harry’s show will last: after the book and the interviews it will stop? What is certain is that he will never return to his royal life, on this he was peremptory. And perhaps, at this point, no one at Court would trust him anymore.
