Lady Colin Campbell has shared her thoughts on Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir and claims it could potentially make the Royal Family appear “weak”.
The Duke of Sussex is currently writing what his publisher has described as an “intimate and heartfelt memoir” that is due to be released in late 2022.
The publication is untitled at present, but it is believed that it may cause controversy as it will contain insights into the monarchy which could paint the family in a negative light.
Speaking openly about Prince Harry’s book in her latest Youtube video, Lady C believes the Royal Family are allowing Harry and his wife Meghan to “get away with murder” due to their lack of response to the book’s release.

She said: “I think the monarchy is acting in a weak and unresponsive way and allowing Meghan and Harry to get away with murder.
“However, I think what people don’t realise is that a reputable institution that is law-abiding and is respectful of right generally cannot ride roughshod over the rights of others just because it suits it.
“In the short term, yes they will look weak, at least to some people, to others it will look as if they are being respectful, and as if they are playing the long game and that sooner or later, if you give people enough rope to hang themselves with, they will do so.”
However, the socialite also believes that Harry does have a right to express himself with his publication.

Lady C explained: “The fact of the matter is, Harry has a right to write his book. Harry is a citizen and Harry has rights.
“The monarchy can’t deprive Harry of his rights. I think we have been treated to a great many examples to which the extent Meghan [Markle] and Harry rely upon everybody having respect for their rights.”
Since the announcement was made that the Prince’s memoir was scheduled to be released next year, some have questioned why the Royal Family have not taken action against the book’s launch.

Due to the fact the Queen’s Jubilee will take place next year, some believe it may cause a clash.
Earlier this year Prince Harry issued a statement on the Sussex website, Archewell and described the book as a “firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful”.
The statement read: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born, but as the man I have become,” his statement said.
“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far.”
