Prince Harry's Memoir: A Tool for Embarrassment or a Gift to Charity?

The recent announcement that Prince Harry is planning to write his memoirs has reignited discussions about his intentions and the potential impact on the Royal Family. This article explores the possible motives behind this move and whether the proceeds will indeed go to charity.

Introducing the Memoir

According to an article by The Telegraph, Prince Harry is set to write his memoirs. The article suggests that this move may serve as yet another attempt to embarrass the Royal Family and that the proceeds may go towards a charity of his own choosing.

The Business of Memoirs

The idea of Prince Harry writing a memoir may seem novel, but it is actually a common practice in the entertainment and political world. The ghostwriter, who will help him write the book, will ensure the narrative flows correctly and highlights key moments. This process is not uncommon and there is no shame in using a ghostwriter as long as the authorship is clearly acknowledged.

Potential Motivations

Given the public discourse surrounding the royal family, Prince Harry’s memoirs could be seen as an excuse to delve into his own experiences and offer insights that might not be publicly available. The article from The Telegraph suggested that the sole purpose of this memoir is to embarrass his own family, possibly as a form of payback for not getting his way in the relationship with Meghan Markle. However, experts argue that this is unlikely to have any significant impact. The Sussexes have already demonstrated a willingness to lie and twist facts to serve their narrative.

Charity Donations: A Potentially Viable Outcome

There is a growing belief that the proceeds of the book will go to charity, specifically a charity that Archie, Prince Harry and Meghan’s son, founded. Despite this charity being registered in Delaware, it still faces scrutiny. As noted, the Sussexes receive 95% of all donations for their own personal high-living expenses, leaving only 5% for the supposed charity.

IRS Scrutiny and Future Tax Consequences

While the current administration may have more pressing matters, it is inevitable that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will eventually investigate a foreign national, such as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, living and earning considerable sums in the United States without paying taxes. As demonstrated by Al Capone, even those who have managed to evade taxes and avoid immediate legal consequences often face severe penalties in the long run.

In conclusion, while the idea of Prince Harry writing his memoirs may initially seem like a personal and embarrassing project, it could ultimately serve as a means to raise funds for a charity. However, this move is likely to face scrutiny and may not achieve the desired impact on public perception.
