This book has caused all kinds of reactions among readers, as some have not hesitated to point out that it is much more incendiary than the documentary and what it could meana total break with the royal family.
The youngest son of Carlos III and Lady Di recounted, along with J.R Moehringer, some of his most controversial experiences, such as his experiences with drugs, their first sexual encounter or their performance against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A few days after Prince Harry's memoirs were released, speculation began that Meghan Markle might also be contemplating recounting in a book the period of her life who lived under Elizabeth II.
“I'd be surprised if Meghan didn't publish her own story,” a Hollywood agent told the British tabloid Daily Mail. “Spare it's clearly Prince Harry's chance to tell his own, but hers is just as interesting. I mean, how many actresses end up marrying a prince?” he added.
Harry doesn't rule out reconciling with the royal family
The prince Harry could join the rest of the British royal family before his father's coronationCharles III in May, to calm the tension after the publication of his explosive memoirs, said the newspaper Sunday Times.

“All the parts will have to be flexible. But it's possible, it's fixable”, estimated a source close to the king and Harry quoted by the Sunday newspaper.
The newspaper mentions the possibility of a meeting between the prince, his father Carlos and his brother William before the coronation scheduled for May 6.
