Can Harry’s memoirs be stopped by Palace?

- By Kate Mansey

PALACE aides have been discussing ways to stop Prince Harry publishing his memoirs.

There is said to be deep concern the book will contain damaging revelation­s despite suggestion­s he is seeking to tone it down.

It is part of a presidenti­al-style strategy launched by aides of King Charles that will focus on the crucial first 100 days of his reign.

A friend of the King said: ‘The question inside the Palace is: “Can the book be stopped?” The feeling at the very top is that there’s no good that can come of airing grievances in public.’ But it is highly unlikely the King would wage a legal battle against Harry, whose £36million deal with Penguin Random House may mean he is unable to stop it.

It comes at an important time in the King’s reign.

A Palace source said last night: ‘Now that the period of mourning is over, he will support diversity, promote community spirit and protect the space for those with faith and those without.’
