Prince Harry has ‘got a lot of poison in his blood’ – duke’s former biographer says royals should be nervous about his new autobiography

AFTER months of speculation, reports from the US this week suggest that Prince Harry’s controversial autobiography will come out later this year and his former biographer says the family need to prepare themselves for a series of shocks.

Angela Levin, who wrote
Harry: Conversations with the Prince

, says that after giving him a multi-million pound advance, publishers Penguin Random House will ‘want a story’ and Harry will be ready to give them one.

‘He’s now so bitter and resentful that he will say what he really feels and see things that he accepted years ago as now being really dreadful,’ she tells our royal talk show Palace Confidential. ‘I think he really wants to show his power over William because he was fed up with being the spare rather than the heir – I think he’s got a lot of poison in his blood now about what he feels about his background and his family.’

Levin’s fellow panellist, veteran royal writer Robert Jobson, agrees that the impact will likely be ‘huge’ in the UK.

‘It’s going to be the up-to-date stuff that’s going to be the explosive stuff, who made who cry in the Meghan and Kate scenario,’ he tells the programme. ‘I’m sure those things – if they are addressed at all – will cause major problems.’

One figure who could come in for criticism is his step-mother Camilla, but she doesn’t seem to be letting the speculation affect her as she celebrates her 75th birthday this week. Our experts share their views on the Duchess of Cornwall.

The Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English talks about how perceptions of the duchess have changed since she became part of the family.

‘I don’t think she’s changed at all,’ she says. ‘What I think has changed is her willingness to let her guard down and let people see the real the Camilla, which actually is very funny, very warm, very witty. She’s sharp, she’s very well read and I think she’s more willing now to let people see that.’

While Camilla was once seen as a villain for her supposed role in the breakdown of the marriage between Charles and Diana, the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor Richard Eden, says that it’s no longer hostility that’s a problem for Charles and Camilla, but a lack of interest.

‘The public just aren’t very interested in Charles and Camilla and that is a problem,’ he says. ‘For an institution that relies on the public’s support I think that’s a genuine problem and why we will see a sort of joint reign with William and Catherine.’
