Harry's 'long-term goal of revenge' as he shares new 24-page report with Meghan

A Royal commentator has claimed that Prince Harry is out for "revenge", following the release of his much-anticipated memoir, Spare.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared his thoughts on the book, branding it a "bad idea", as he appeared on RNZ's podcast Nights with Karyn Hay, reports the Express. Richard said: "So you wonder, launching a memoir was always, I thought, a bad idea.

"Even the Duke of Windsor, 15 years after the abdication, he published the King's Story, but this was a completely different era and the book, although it caused some controversy, was nothing like this... these are direct, fierce, vengeful attacks on the Royal Family."

Mr Fitzwilliams also said: "He seems to want revenge. Also, the word 'spare', overshadowed by his brother, the heir and the spare, was always bitter, but I don't think anyone thought the book could be quite as vengeful and angry as it is."

This news comes as the coronation of King Charles III draws near, with no confirmation on whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be invited, or attend the ceremony.

Buckingham Palace have yet to confirm the guestlist for the official ceremony, as the King nears his special day on May 6, 2023.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have now published a 24-page document regarding their Archewell Foundation, which was launched in late 2020.

The Foundation is the non-profit arm of the couple, where they carry out charitable work, as well as promote and support initiatives for veterans and mental health within the communities.

Among the work done by Archewell between 2020 and 2022, the report highlighted the 12.66 million COVID-19 vaccines produced in partnership with Global Citizen for people around the world.

It also reported the 50,000 meals served to those in need via the collaboration with the World Central Kitchen.
