Harry reportedly is "struggling" as Meghan takes on more work.

According to a book, Harry had expressed that he was "unhappy within the Royal Family" before the exit.
Prince Harry is set to release his memoir soon; however, since the Queen's passing and his reunion with the royal family, reports have stated that the Duke of Sussex might be willing to change a few details of his book.
But according to an Express UK source, the details in the book might worsen the relationship between Harry and his father, King Charles III, and cause him to revoke his olive branch.

Also, royal experts speculate that Harry might be too late to change his memoir details because payments and publications have been scheduled.
Express UK, who spoke to Royal Round Up host Pandora Forsyth, GB New royal reporter Cameron Walker, said: "The problem for Prince Harry is that he's already been paid £17.5million of a £35million contract for this book."
Walker also explained that the publisher, Penguin Random House, might want the book to hit the shelves in Autumn, which means Harry's memoir could already be at the printers.

Walker continued to emphasize that if Harry wants to remove any details of the book, then it is expected that there are elements in the memoir that attack the new reigning monarch, the Queen Consort, and the monarchy as a whole.
According to Express UK, the publisher, Penguin Random House, described the book as "an intimate and heartfelt memoir" where Harry will share a personal account of his past life, his time in the military, and his present life as husband and father.

As Harry was close to the Queen, Express UK reported that the Royal family might persist for Harry to either withdraw his book or change the details of it to save his relationship with King Charles III.
Prince Harry Is Said to Be "Struggling" as Meghan Takes on More Work
Prince Harry has not been the only one keeping busy, but his wife Meghan Markle has also taken on more jobs. The Duchess of Sussex recently had her exclusive interview with The Cut and launched a new podcast, Archetypes.

Therefore, since the couple has gotten busier, author and historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop claimed that Harry might be "struggling" as his wife takes on more work.
Dr. Dunlop continued to explain to Express UK that she believed Harry was struggling with being the "in-between guy" as Markle gained her public presence. The historian said,
"Poor old Harry. Who is in front of The Cut? It's Meghan. Who is hosting the podcast? It's Meghan. Where's Harry? I feel sorry for Harry. He's like the in-between guy. Meghan is off there in the fast lane."

Markle's interview with The Cut was reportedly critical of the royal family. The Duchess of Sussex said it would take a lot of effort to forgive her in-laws and did not shy away from stating that she could "say anything."
Well, Express UK also said that the "Suits" alum stated that even before the decision to step down from their royal duties, "just by existing," she and Harry were "upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy."

However, it was also reported that Prince Harry had sent Queen Elizabeth II an email expressing his unhappiness with the royal family, but his concerns were not entertained.
Why Was Harry Reportedly "Incensed" before Leaving the Royals?
Express UK reported that Valentine Low's upcoming new bombshell book, "Courtiers: The Inside Story of the Palace Power Struggles," revealed that Prince emailed the Queen about his unhappiness with the monarchy.

However, Low also stated that the Duke of Sussex was denied a meeting with the Queen because she "confused her dairy." According to Express Uk, the book was further discussed on a "Royally Us" episode with Christina Garibaldi and Christine Ross.
The hots explained that Prince Harry had requested a meeting with the Queen to confront her about his concerns personally but was turned away.
The Duke of Sussex was reportedly angry about this because he allegedly knew it was not true. Garibaldi further stated that Harry had even planned to make a trip to Sandringham and speak to the Queen, but things did not go as planned.

Express UK reported that this event took place around December 2019, just a few weeks before Harry and Markle stepped down from being working royals.
Therefore, Garibaldi added that Harry's attempts to speak and liaise with his grandmother being turned down made things "testy" behind the scenes and led to the big decision of stepping down.
Ross added that this was not the first time the Duke of Sussex has been denied a meeting with his grandmother; however, the host expressed that she was excited for more details in Low's book.

The speculations surrounding Harry's upcoming memoir and the pent-up tension in the royal family have fans on the edge of their seats, patiently waiting to see how things unfold and if the Queen's death will bring peace to the family again.
Walker, an editor of GB News, also added that if Harry's book is as critical as the bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, rekindling the peace might be a further stretch, so a lot seems to be riding on this book as experts speculate.
