While Prince Harry had hoped to have a meeting with his father, the monarch's busy schedule prevented it from happening. Royal author Tom Quinn has claimed that King Charles jokingly mentioned the idea of having someone search Prince Harry for recording devices if they were to meet.
During an exclusive interview with The Mirror, Tom Quinn revealed an interesting anecdote. He shared that upon learning about Prince Harry's plans to attend the Invictus Games, King Charles made a lighthearted remark, suggesting that if he were to encounter Harry, he would jokingly consider having him searched to ensure he wasn't secretly recording their conversation. However, despite the jest, the underlying implications of such a remark highlight the complexities and sensitivities surrounding their current relationship.
A spokesperson for Prince Harry confirmed that a meeting with his father would not be possible during his UK trip, citing the king's full schedule and various other commitments. The statement expressed Prince Harry's understanding of his father's priorities and expressed his hope to see him soon.
Tom Quinn also mentioned that King Charles is concerned about the potential consequences if Meghan Markle decides to release a memoir. He explained that there was relief at Kensington Palace and Clarence House when it seemed that Prince Harry had abandoned plans for a second book after his successful release, "Spare." However, the focus has now shifted to Meghan.
According to the royal expert, King Charles fears that anything he says to his son might end up in a book written by Meghan. Quinn suggested that Meghan may release a memoir to coincide with her lifestyle business, America Riviera Orchard. According to him, Meghan is well aware that despite her endeavors to establish a thriving online business, a personal memoir recounting her experiences as a working royal in the UK would likely be a lucrative venture, capable of selling millions of copies and fulfilling her financial aspirations.
The concerns surrounding potential recordings and the possibility of Meghan's memoir raise additional complexities within the royal family. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these factors will impact their relationships and the public perception of the family dynamics.
