Prince Harry has made several fierce accusations against the royal family in the last few weeks, not just in his memories Replacementbut promotional interviews before the book comes out. He appears to have dodged very few shots, accusing Prince William of attacking him; saying brother to him and Kate Middleton played a role in his Nazi costume fiasco ; and accusing the mother-in-law Camilla to “sacrifice” it to the media . Many, including the Duke of Sussex himself, were awaiting the palace’s response to all claims, but there were no rebuttals, with the royals seemingly sticking to their “never complain, never explain”.
Before Replacementlaunch, which Prince Harry spoke about The Late Show with Stephen Colbert saying “obviously” the royal family allegedly used the press to undermine what he had to say, telling the host:
After 38 years, they have told their side of the story. That’s the other side of the story, and there are a lot of things that can make people feel uncomfortable and scared.
Although headlines and comments about Prince Harry’s allegations continued in the British press, there have been no statements from his family to refute, deny or explain anything the Duke of Sussex has said. This might come as a surprise to some, since Replacement proved popular worldwide, with 3.2 million copies sold in its first week, and William & Kate saw their popularity ratings plummet.
However, Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl said (via Now ) that “dignified silence” is typical of the royal family:
Dignified Silence is a proven format. The Palace is reluctant to get involved on any level because once they do it just adds to the narrative and Harry has made so many allegations it’s nearly impossible to address them all.
It would seem that if the Palace decides to defend itself against Prince Harry’s multiple allegations, it may never be able to stop. Instead, family members appear to be proactively working on their public image. In the following days ReplacementLaunch of the Prince and Princess of Wales met with health and mental health professionals at Royal Liverpool University Hospital and visited the Open Door Charity, which helps young adults through mental health and community action.
Meanwhile, King Charles III has announced he wants profits from six new offshore wind farms on the Crown Estate to be reallocated to the “larger public good”. BBC reports, instead of going to the Sovereign Grant, which finances the official functions of the royal family.
We’ll have to see if the palace decides to stick to its “never complain, never explain” PR strategy or if any of Prince Harry’s claims spark a backlash. Replacement is available for purchase in several formats and in several languages (including many they have different and brutal titles ), and you can also find out more about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their docuseries. harry and meghanavailable to stream with a Netflix subscription .
