2024 was supposed to be a fresh start for former royals Harry and Meghan, but it seems that their troubles are far from over.

While books may have their fair share of failures, there are always more influential figures ready to pen their version of events.

But should Harry and Meghan be concerned?

Let’s delve into the details.

Firstly, let me take a moment to thank you for your kind comments about the new Stock Aitken-Waterman musical that we had the pleasure of attending at the stunning Leeds Grand Theatre.

By the way, did you know that the interior of the theater is rumored to be modeled after the famous La Scala?

It truly is a sight to behold.

Now, let’s get back to the breaking news of the day.

Last year, we eagerly awaited the release of Prince Harry’s book, “Spare.”

Although it became a bestseller, it failed to recoup its costs for Penguin Random House.

Nevertheless, it generated significant publicity for the publisher, which may result in some staff changes in the coming year.

But let’s shift our focus to the people involved in these stories, particularly those who have decided to retire.

Remember BBC Royal reporter Nicholas Whitchell?

He gained notoriety when a hot mic captured Prince Charles expressing his dislike for him during a photo call.

This incident, although pre-internet, has resurfaced and garnered attention once again.

After 40 years with the BBC, Whitchell has been given the opportunity to share his side of the story on reporting about the Royals.

He has been giving interviews to major newspapers and tabloids, shedding light on his time there.

Interestingly, he initially suggested that the palace could have shown more patience towards Meghan Markle but later changed his tune.

According to a well-placed source, Meghan and Harry should be worried because Whitchell was by their side during their brief tenure in the British monarchy and plans to hold nothing back.

As we know, getting a lucrative book deal often requires revealing substantial details.

Now that he is no longer bound by the BBC, Whitchell is eager to present his version of events.

While some may expect Whitchell to exercise caution, it seems that he will provide a detailed account of his time covering Harry and Meghan’s activities within the monarchy.

It must be noted that these claims are still alleged.

However, it is worth considering that Meghan has not fared well in previous accounts.

This new book detailing their experiences in Africa and other tours is likely to cast a shadow over the William Morris agency’s efforts to rebrand Meghan as a friendly and relatable figure, as seen in her recent coffee advertisement.

Whitchell’s memoirs are expected to be released towards the end of summer, just as Harry and Meghan are preparing to unveil their latest ventures.

In conclusion, the former royals find themselves embroiled in another book controversy.

With Whitchell’s insider perspective, their tumultuous journey within the British monarchy may face further scrutiny.

As the story unfolds, we can only wait and see how it will impact their public image and future endeavors.

Reporting from the heart of London, this is Neil Sean.
