Prince Harry, 37, is writing what his publisher is calling an “intimate and heartfelt memoir” that is due to be released in late 2022. The revealing book by the Duke of Sussex, currently untitled, is expected to ruffle some feathers as it will contain insights into the monarchy, which might not all be flattering and could paint a negative portrait of his family.

Some have questioned why the Royal Family have not taken action against the book’s release, which will coincide with the Queen’s Jubilee next year.

Speaking on the firm’s noticeable silence on the matter, Lady Colin Campbell said it is impossible for the monarchy to stop Prince Harry’s “right to write” his own thoughts down on paper.

She shared in her latest YouTube video: “The fact of the matter is, Harry has a right to write his book. Harry is a citizen and Harry has rights. 

“The monarchy can’t deprive Harry of his rights. I think we have been treated to a great many examples to which the extent Meghan [Markle] and Harry rely upon everybody having respect for their rights.”

Lady Colin believes the Royal Family is acting “weak” over their lack of a response to Prince Harry’s memoir, but at the same time, she understands why they are “respecting” his wishes.

She continued: “I think the monarchy is acting in a weak and unresponsive way, and allowing Meghan and Harry to get away with murder. 

“However, I think what people don’t realise is that a reputable institution that is law-abiding and is respectful of right generally cannot ride roughshod over the rights of others just because it suits it

“In the short term, yes they will look weak, at least to some people, to others it will look as if they are being respectful, and as if they are playing the long game and that sooner or later, if you give people enough rope to hang themselves with, they will do so,” she finished.

Harry issued a statement on the Sussex website, Archewell, earlier this year, describing the book as a “firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful”.

“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born, but as the man I have become,” his statement said. 

“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. 

“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far.”

His announcement came a month after his wife, Duchess Meghan of Sussex, published her own book, a children’s picture book called “The Bench,” which featured her husband and their son, Archie, two.

The book, published June 8 through Random House Books for Young Readers, has registered in high spots on children’s books lists compiled by Amazon and The New York Times, although it’s no longer in the top 10.

In a statement, Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House, said the publishing house is “thrilled” about bringing out Harry’s book.

“Prince Harry has harnessed his extraordinary life experience as a prince, a soldier, and a knowledgeable advocate for social issues, establishing himself as a global leader recognized for his courage and openness,” Dohle said. 

“It is for that reason we’re excited to publish his honest and moving story.”  

Harry’s book announcement also comes four months after he and Meghan made worldwide news during their interview with Oprah Winfrey, which was conducted near the couple’s home in Montecito, California. 

The couple said they moved to America because they were fed up with what they perceived as racism in the Royal Family. 

Meghan spoke of feeling lonely and nearly suicidal before they left Britain last year and Harry acknowledged tension with his father, Prince Charles, over his marriage to the former actress.
