Prince Harry's return to the UK could be tarnished by one move, a source has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to relocate back to the UK this month with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, six years after leaving.
News of their return to Britain has sent shockwaves around the world, with the couple having criticised life in the UK ever since they quit royal duty in 2020 and moved to the US. Rumours are also swirling about the motive for the move, with many believing Meghan has been offered an acting job based in the UK.
Timing of uncle's book raises concerns
While the couple have kept quiet about their relocation, one source said that one thing may stop it from being smooth-sailing. This is the release of Harry's uncle's book "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister", which will hit the shelves on September 22.
While it technically has nothing to do with Harry and Meghan, Earl Charles Spencer's book could make the couple's reconciliation with Harry's royal relatives harder, a source has claimed. This is because Harry is close with his uncle, Earl Spencer, who could speak negatively about the Royal Family in the book.
Source warns of 'ruffled feathers'
A source told The Sun: "The book and its timing are certain to ruffle some royal feathers. Harry and Meghan could even be with Earl Spencer when the book is published. Given that it's likely to be critical of senior royals, this could be a blot on Harry's homecoming and peaceful relations with his family."
Earl Spencer announced the release of his book last week, saying he still gets asked a lot about his sister, which inspired him to write it. He said: "The aim of this book is to tell the truth about Diana from her brother's perspective, just as I attempted to do when speaking at her funeral."
Book's description and release
The description of the book, which will be released next month, reads: "In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood in Westminster Abbey before a watching world and shared his grief at losing his beloved sister, Diana, in a eulogy that was judged to be one of the great speeches of the twentieth century.
"Now, nearly thirty years later, he tells the astonishing story of his life with Diana and the tragic week of her death."
