According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, the release of Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare” has indeed strained his relationship with his father, King Charles III. Seward suggested that the public criticism of Harry’s wife, Meghan, within the book has caused some damage to the father-son relationship.
She emphasized that while the rift may exist, she doesn’t believe King Charles III is holding a grudge against Harry. Instead, she speculated that the King may have become more cautious around his son, possibly withdrawing a bit.
Seward further speculated that Harry’s openness in sharing personal details in his book might make him feel cautious about future interactions with his father, as he may wonder if Harry is taking mental notes for potential future publications.

However, Harry himself revealed that he made an effort to see his father in person after the book’s release, indicating that he values their relationship and seeks to maintain it.
During an interview with Good Morning America, Harry mentioned that he promptly visited his father after their conversation, demonstrating his commitment to repairing any strained familial ties.
Despite his willingness to discuss his relationship with his father, Harry remained discreet about the monarch’s health, respecting the privacy of their conversation.

Considering Harry’s reserved approach to discussing his father and the potential strain caused by his memoir, Seward expressed doubts about the likelihood of Harry penning another book in the future. She suggested that Meghan, with her own unique perspective and experiences, might be more inclined to publish a book.
The speculation surrounding Harry’s literary future comes amidst his acknowledgment of his mother, Princess Diana, influence and expressed gratitude to those who have safeguarded her legacy.
This recognition highlights Harry’s ongoing dedication to honoring his mother’s memory and underscores the complexity of his familial relationships in the public eye.
