Harry, 40, released the hardback successful January past twelvemonth and it was a roaring commercialized occurrence becoming the fastest selling non-fiction publication of each time.

But it came with a price. The royal - who stepped down from duties alongside woman Meghan Markle successful March 2020 earlier moving to the US - aimed overmuch disapproval astatine member Prince William.

And it came connected the backmost of a bombshell TV interrogation the mates did with Oprah Winfrey successful which they accused members of the Firm of racism.

But Mr Vickers said the determination to merchandise the publication again volition person been contractual and Harry would person had small accidental successful it.

The paperback was released past period by Penguin Random House, and does not see immoderate further information.

However, neither does it see immoderate revisions, thing Mr Vickers said whitethorn person been a bully thought arsenic helium considers the ghostwritten enactment to see "numerous errors".

Harry chose not to behaviour immoderate further interviews oregon publicity for the October 24 release, and the publication is presently languishing successful 73rd spot successful the UK charts.

It has sold conscionable 3,400 copies successful its 2nd week of publication.

Harry's soundlessness is astir apt a bully thing, according to Mr Vickers.

He told The Sun: "Maybe he's benignant of got it disconnected his chest…maybe helium has thing truly overmuch much to accidental due to the fact that helium hasn't had overmuch to bash with his household since.

"He came implicit for the Coronation. He came implicit to spot his begetter erstwhile helium was ill. He's been successful England a fewer times with things similar the Invictus Games and 1 oregon 2 different things.

"But helium hasn't had immoderate relations with the Royal Family. He hasn't been to spot them.

Mr Vickers went connected to accidental that dad-of-two Harry - who lives with Meghan and their kids Archie and Lilibet successful Montecito, California - "would bash good to deliberation of the aboriginal and effort and physique bridges alternatively than pain immoderate more".

"I deliberation it's rather bully that helium isn't saying things."

Harry and Meghan signed aggregate cardinal lb deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify connected their determination crossed the pond successful their bid to go financially independent.

But it has mostly seen them marque money disconnected the backmost of their royal links and making allegations against their family.

Mr Vickers said contempt the Sussexes mostly being perceived successful a much affirmative airy successful the US, adjacent their American fans are astir apt "pretty fed up" with the sniping astatine the royals.

"I don't deliberation that immoderate feline successful the mediate states of America appreciates a antheral who slags his begetter and household disconnected successful a book. They conscionable don’t bash that benignant of thing."

He added that successful situations similar Harry and Meghan's, "people ever regret it".

KING CHARLES

Asked if determination is simply a imaginable mode backmost into the fold for the Duke, Mr Vickers said King Charles appears to person enactment the "Prince Harry business connected the backmost burner".

"If helium pops up, helium volition evidently woody with it."

He continued: "The King has a batch of different things connected his mind, of course, due to the fact that he's not precise good and helium has a batch of governmental issues to woody with - diplomatic issues, subject issues, each sorts of things that helium has to deliberation about."

He said the monarch has made a bully determination successful not openly criticising his youngest son, contempt everything.

Even with the merchandise of the paperback, Charles has not felt the request to code it with the world.

"By saying nothing, helium makes it overmuch easier for Prince Harry to reconcile," said Mr Vickers.

"I said it galore times before, radical tin ever reconcile if determination is simply a willingness to compromise - that has to beryllium connected some sides.

"And I deliberation the King has behaved successful an exemplary way. He hasn't told america anything. He hasn't responded astatine all."

Referring to the precocious Queen's effect to allegations Meghan made against the Firm, Mr Vickers said: "We haven't adjacent had a fantastic remark similar the (late) Queen enactment retired - 'recollections whitethorn vary'. Nothing has travel retired from him astatine all.

"That's precise generous of him, and very, precise sensible, and it looks arsenic though, if I'm being just to Prince Harry that he, astatine the infinitesimal is not doing that either.

"Maybe if clip passes and things chill down...people's memories are short...things tin change."

He went connected to notation to a biography the then-Prince Charles himself enactment retired with Jonathan Dimbleby successful 1994 "in which helium criticised his parents and the mode he'd been brought up rather a lot".

"That was considered to beryllium precise unattractive, but radical person forgotten astir that present - that's each successful the past," said Mr Vickers.

However, the royal adept believes determination whitethorn adjacent beryllium a much indirect mode for Harry to reconnect with his household successful the long-term.

Reports suggest helium and Meghan person bought a spot southbound of Lisbon successful Portugal arsenic they look to beryllium looking to physique a imaginable European base.

They were spotted location hunting with Princess Eugenie and her hubby Jack Brooksbank successful caller weeks.

"And also, significantly, it's precise adjacent to wherever his favourite cousin, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank live."

He said "taking a truly agelong view", his children whitethorn premix with his cousin's "and by that way down the line, galore years hence", could besides get to cognize William and Kate's 3 children "who, of course, they don't cognize astatine each astatine the moment".
