The royal family chose not to comment on Harry’s statements or his memoir as a whole.

Now, two years later, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has spoken about the impact of Harry’s remarks.

He explained to Royal Insider: “Things have not settled down since his allegations in the ill-advised memoir and in interviews promoting it deepened the rift in the royal family and caused the Sussexes to be evicted from Frogmore Cottage.

“His criticism of Queen Camilla was regarded as having crossed a line.”

Royal family has ‘other priorities’ than Harry’s attacks

Richard stated, “However the royal family, with the king and Princess of Wales battling serious illness, have other priorities. The Sussexes have ceased their attacks, for obvious reasons, as it would look appalling at a time like this.”

He continued, “However as we saw in August when William and Harry were both at the Memorial Service for their uncle Lord Fellowes but reportedly didn’t speak, the rift is as wide as ever.

“This was evident on Harry’s last visit to commemorate ten years of Invictus too, when he did not see his father. William has had a ‘brutal’ year and Catherine is prioritising health and her family.”

Richard concluded by saying, “It’s a tough time for the royal family. Obviously they will take note of what happens when Harry is in court later this month but Spare, fortunately not expanded in the paperback edition, though not forgotten or forgiven, must largely be a memory to them.”
