Loose Women star Janet Street Porter has warned Prince Harry that it’s a ‘dangerous’ time to write his memoir following the loss of his grandparents and his father’s accession to the throne
Janet Street Porter has warned Prince Harry it is a “dangerous” time to write his memoir.
The Loose Women panellists gave their verdict on the Duke of Sussex’s ‘tell-all’ and ‘explosive’ memoir, which was due to be released by Penguin Random House in December. It is believed the memoir – which has been described as ‘heartfelt’ – will be released later now following the passing of Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince William said to be ”increasingly uneasy” about the content of the memoir. Janet gave her verdict on the timing of the memoir, urging Harry to reconsider writing it now.

Speaking on the ITV lunchtime show, she said: “What I think about Prince Harry is that writing this book now is a very dangerous project because his father has lost both parents in the last year and his father has a new job.
“Whether he’s the King or whatever, he’s got a new job. His brother has also got a new job and with that comes an enormous amount of responsibility, and if you care anything for your siblings and your close family who are still alive, you have to consider the impact of what you’re going to say. I understand that Harry does feel hurt… but is now really the time?”

It comes after Janet suggested it would be better for Harry to pen and release the memoir when his father’s no longer around.
A better time might be when his father’s no longer around. Speaking from my own experience, I wrote a memoir about my mother and why we didn’t get on and I waited until my mum and dad were dead and even then, there were people in my family that didn’t like what I wrote,” she explained previously, “I wrote about my mother and I found it cathartic.

Coleen also agreed, adding: “If I was a friend or a relative, I’ve got to be honest, I’d say, ‘Not now Harry, not now. Wait.’ I think it’s too soon with everything else that’s gone on. I definitely don’t think he should be thinking about things with his grandmother, our Queen, being the age she is and being hurt by so many things recently being said and done.”
