Prince Harry's subtle 'apology' signal to Prince William and King Charles uncovered
Prince Harry has railed against his royal relatives, including King Charles and Prince William, in both his Netflix series and explosive memoir - but one expert believes his latest move is a subtle way of apologising for his comments
Prince Harry has made a subtle apology to the Royal Family for his swipes at them with one of his latest moves, according to a royal expert.
The Duke of Sussex railed against his royal relatives in his bombshell book, Spare, which was released in January 2023 and prompted an explosive fallout, with many predicting his relationship with the royals would never be the same again.
In the tell-all tome, Harry made various claims against his family, including that Prince William called his wife Meghan Markle 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive' and pushed him into a dog bowl, that King Charles was jealous of the Prince and Princess of Wales and that Charles refused to allow Meghan to join her husband in Scotland as the late Queen was dying.
Next month, a paperback version of Spare is due to hit shelves. Usually, when a paperback version of a non-fiction book is released, additional chapters or updated information is included in the new format.

However, the paperback version of Spare will not contain any new information. It will have the same cover image in a newly-designed package, but the "contents of the book are unchanged". It has also been claimed that Harry will give no interviews or take part in any new publicity for the re-release.
And, according to former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole, the decision not to update the new version of the book could be a "peace feeler". He told GB News : "The paperback edition of Spare is coming out and he has decided he's not going to update it in any sort of way, which they sometimes do.
"I think the contract obviously included a paperback edition, but he hasn't added new chapters or written a preface or afterword to increase and renew the anguish which he has caused his family by these revelations." He continued: "He won't be promoting it. I think that is a bit of a peace feeler. It's a bit of a token. Maybe it's his way of saying, 'Im very sorry - I would like to be forgiven a bit'."
It comes as sources close to Harry have claimed he has "no interest" in returning to resume royal duties in Britain and plans to stay in the US. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly linked with a return to the UK nearly five years after he and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, stepped down from their roles as royals and moved to California with their children - Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
The prince has maintained contact with his old friends, and been in contact with the King to try and help repair their relationship, which prompted speculation he was looking to return to the royal fold. According to the Mail on Sunday, the Duke had turned away from his "Hollywood publicists" and was texting former confidantes 'from his old life' on how to plan a return from the US.
But, according to theDaily Telegraph, multiple sources close to the Duke said he is happy and settled in California and has "no interest" in returning to resume royal duties in the UK. They also said Harry has an '"amazing" new set of friends in the United States and several projects on the horizon.
Sources added they were surprised at the suggestion Prince Harry might one day return to royal duties and claimed they were "unaware" of a reported "blueprint" to try and come back to the UK. Prince Harry is preparing to turn 40 next year and made no secret of his desire to repair his relationship with the King. However, repairing the relationship with his brother seems unlikely as contact has all but stopped, according to reports.
