Privacy NoticePrince Harry and Meghan Markle are seldom mentioned in royal conversations, but when they are, it’s under a rather harsh four-word nickname. The new book, A Voyage Around The Queen, by author Craig Brown delves into the life of Queen Elizabeth II and touches on Harry and Meghan’s US move. In the book, broadcaster Gyles Brandreth is said to have noted that the Sussexes are now known as “persons who live overseas”. He elaborated: “These days, the names of Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, do not crop up very often in court circles… When they do, courtiers flinch almost imperceptibly and change the subject – or, if that’s not possible, refer to them obliquely as ‘persons who live overseas’.”

The broadcaster noted: “Mention the Sussexes to other members of the Royal Family… and they simply smile briefly and say, ‘We wish them all the best’ – and nothing else.” Since stepping away from royal life, Harry and Meghan have made few trips back to the UK, such as for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Harry has also made a number of solo visits to the UK in that time, such as for Prince Philip’s funeral and King Charles’ Coronation. He also dashed to London following the news of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis and ha a brief meeting with his father at Clarence House before heading back stateside. The book also references the Earl of Snowdon’s take on the situation, with him reckoning: “The Royal Family is quite good at blanking out anything unpleasant or uncomfortable.”

Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare, is set to hit the shelves in a new paperback edition this autumn, following its initial hardback release in January 2023. Penguin Random House revealed that the Duke of Sussex’s book will be available in America on October 22 and in the UK on October 24. While paperbacks often include fresh chapters or extra content, it has been confirmed that the contents of Spare will remain “unchanged”. However, in a significant move regarding the book’s promotion, the Daily Mail’s diary editor, Richard Eden, has learned that Prince Harry “is not planning to give any interviews to publicise the paperback edition”. A source disclosed to the Daily Mail: “Harry doesn’t plan to give any interviews to promote the paperback edition. The paperback was a part of the book deal he signed, but he is not contractually obliged to promote this edition. The reason it has taken longer than usual for the paperback to be published is that the more expensive hardback was still selling well.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
