‘Regret’: Prince Harry’s tragic realisation about his actions

After two years of radio silence from the monarchy, it seems as though Meghan and Harry are having a change of heart.

Prince Harry is reportedly beginning to regret the way he handled the release of his tell-all memoir Spare, as well as the impact it had on the royals.

It’s been two years since the publication of the bombshell book that sparked controversy around the world and put the final nail in the coffin for Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with the monarchy.

In the book Harry alleged Charles “didn’t hug him” when Princess Diana died, and that Prince William once “knocked him to the floor”.

Now the controversy surrounding the book’s release has died down, a source has claimed that Harry is feeling regretful about how the whole drama was handled.

“Although Harry is glad he finally got his say on everything that went on with Spare, there is part of him that has some regrets over it all and the way it was handled,” a source told The Mirror.

“He was still very angry about how he was treated by his family and wanted them to know and felt his book was the only way they’d listen.

“But looking back, he’s not sure it was handled in the right way and he has faced a lot of criticism for it and hurt his family a lot.”

With Harry’s book proving to be a big seller, Meghan was also inundated with offers to pen her own bombshell book.

However, in light of King Charles and Princess Kate Middleton’s health woes, Meghan is believed to be questioning whether reopening old wounds would be worth the hassle.

It could also hit her public image in light of the public’s fondness of Kate.

“Meghan has had many offers to write her own book and she’s still considering them,” he source said.

“She doesn’t have the loyalty Harry has and would happily write about her experiences – but she is also aware that dragging up the past could cause another backlash and lose her even more public support.”

The insider added that Meghan has been quietly impressed with how Kate handled herself publicly last year after her cancer diagnosis.

“Meghan has admiration for how Kate handled things, especially with young children. She has also done things her way and not bowed down to public pressure, putting her family and health first, something Meghan admires.”
