Dan Wootton, the journalist who first reported on Harry and Meghan’s plans to leave the UK, quoted a source as saying that the working assumption was that Charles would “take another kicking from Harry” in the book, but that Charles’ office was especially concerned about what he might say about Camilla. “Let’s be honest, Harry has never been close to the Duchess of Cornwall. If he documents their fraught relationship in the book it could be very damaging at a time when Charles is laying the groundwork for her to become queen.”
“I think there is a very good chance he will talk about his feelings for Camilla and his relationship with her,” Penny Junor, a royal journalist who was historically close to Charles’ camp and has published biographies of Charles, Camilla, and Harry, told The Daily Beast.
“He was a child when he learned about everything from his mother. There were ‘three of them in the marriage,’ as Diana said, but it was a very complex situation which some narratives like The Crown have managed to make very two-dimensional. I suspect that Harry sees it as equally two-dimensional.”
“Harry seems to me at the moment to be very angry and hurt and trying to find himself in some sort of way, but yet again, here is Harry getting it all out there at the expense of his family.
“I just hope he doesn’t say things in this book that he regrets later. What scares me is the money that it is being suggested is being paid. Penguin Random House are going to want some revelations for their buck.”

Royal Family has ‘very real fears’ that Harry’s book deal could ‘destabilise monarchy’
According to reports, the Royal Family has “very real fears” that Prince Harry’s book contract could destabilize the monarchy.
There is fear that the publication of one of the books may occur after the Queen’s death, thereby jeopardizing the “transition” – a process that started many years ago to gradually prepare the nation for the succession.
Palace courtiers are also skeptical that Harry and Meghan Markle will provide advance copies to the royals, which is creating concern.
According to reports, the Duke of Sussex has secured a lucrative multi-million pound agreement for four books, and as part of the arrangement, his wife Meghan Markle will write a wellness guide.
According to Harry’s attorneys, the allegation that he is waiting for his grandmother to die before publishing one of the books is “false and defamatory.”
“Contrary to false media reports, there is only one memoir planned by The Duke of Sussex and it’s scheduled to be published in late 2022 as was announced earlier this week by Penguin Random House,” a spokesman for Harry said.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the Royal Family has “very real fears that the book deal could destabilise the monarchy by undermining Charles’ reputation and disrupting the transition which is slowly preparing the country for the succession.”
Dad-of-two Harry, who will be 37 in September, plans to release a literary memoir next year, which he promises will be a “accurate and wholly truthful” account of his life so far.
However, it also coincides with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, raising concerns that it may overshadow festivities marking her 70 years as monarch.
The book is billed as the “definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him” and will be published on the 25th anniversary of his mother Princess Diana’s death.
Harry’s contract is allegedly for £18 million with all profits going to charity.
It will chronicle his whole public life, including his military service, marriage, and parenthood.
According to a source, there is also ‘anger and disappointment’ among courtiers that the Queen worries about the book’s content only months after the death of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
However, it has been decided not to react to the announcement for fear of “fanning the flames”
Brits are also dissatisfied with the Duke’s book contract, with a recent YouGov poll showing that 38% think it’s “very inappropriate” for him to write a memoir, while 15% think it’s “fairly inappropriate” 14 percent of the 5808 individuals polled thought it was “fairly appropriate” and 9 percent said it was “very appropriate”
They’re also uninterested in reading Harry’s story. Only 14% of those polled are “very” or “fairly” interested in reading the book, while 67% are “not interested at all” and 15% are “not very interested”
The book, which will be published by Penguin Random House, will be written “not as the prince I was born, but as the man I have become,” says Harry.
While there is an obvious schism between Harry and his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William, The Mail on Sunday reports that his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, are much more sympathetic to him.
‘They believe Harry’s outspoken remarks may have been triggered because previously his voice and opinions were rarely heard within the Royal Family,’ claimed a friend, adding that Harry was seen as the family’s ‘resident joker’ and that ‘eyes would roll’ if he offered an opinion on important issues.
Charles and Camilla’s long lost son brings more evidence
A man who claims to be the illegitimate son of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles believes his child resembles the Queen.
Aussie Simon Dorante-Day, 55, claims he was conceived in 1965, when the royal couple first became romantically involved as teens.
Simon Dorante-Day, an engineer born in the United Kingdom (UK) and now residing in Australia, recently uploaded three pictures on Facebook: one of his kid and two of Queen Elizabeth II – one shot when she was younger and another more recently.
He obviously encouraged people to notice a familial connection between his adolescent boy’s grin and that of England’s queen by captioning the picture “uummmm an interesting comparison.”
“I’ve never seen anyone so alike!!!!!! Wow” Vicky Faraday said.
“Wow, I can’t get over how alike they are, it’s amazing,” Namh Moloney said.
Another said that the adolescent was “the queen’s double in her older years.”
Dorante-Day’s adopted grandparents, Winifred and Ernest, worked as a chef and gardener for the Queen and Prince Philip, according to various media sources.
Simon initially made the outrageous allegations in 2016 and has posted many side-by-side pictures of himself and his son compared to the Royals.
He is now dead serious about it, and has even filed documents in the High Court to compel the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall to submit to a DNA test.
“I believe you. This isn’t about claiming a throne…,” said another online user.
“Everyone should be entitled to trace their biological connection. I hope the truth does come out. You definitely have Camilla’s eyes!”
Simon previously said that the Royal Family has spent “years” concealing the “truth.”
Dorante-Day posted a follow-up montage last week, which included a photo of himself close to Prince William (who, if his claims were true, would be his younger half-brother).
Dorante-Day claims that the appropriate authorities have been aware of his allegation for more than 23 years.
“I’ve said this before, but some people aren’t listening, so I’ll say it again! I have a LEGAL right to pursue my True Identity – not to be lied to and deceived,” he said in June.
“Firstly, the authorities (and by that, I mean Monarchy, Government, Health Departments and Police) both in Australia and in the UK have been aware of my claims, and my issue, since at least 1998 when I first asked for my adoption paperwork. So, they know, and have been across every detail, and all involved”
The Palace has never replied to Simon’s accusations, but he is not giving up.
“I’m always getting recognised,” he told 7NEWS.com.au
““I got photographed by another passenger on a train, on my way to Family Court. He was even videoing me at one point.”
Simon even claimed that Princess Diana was aware of his existence and was prepared to disclose what he claims she was aware of before to her sad death in 1997.
Dorante-Day says his grandma informed him unequivocally that he was Charles and Camilla’s son. He thinks he was conceived when the royal couple were 17 and 18 years old, respectively.

As long as he can’t use the info to shake down the royal family for money, or claim the throne, then I don’t see a problem with doing a DNA test. Charles and Camilla, (if true) had him way back when such things were considered taboo and very bad. Since that’s no longer the case, then who cares if it comes out now?
