Prince Harry's made a grave error saying he has more royal secrets – we'll all know them soon, experts claim
HE'S already done a tell-all royal memoir and a fly-on-the-wall Netflix documentary, but Prince Harry has shared there are more secrets to be shared. However, royal experts have claimed that we may hear them sooner than the Duke of Sussex, 40, may believe. 6 6 Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Royal Correspondent at 5 News, Simon Viger, said Netflix will be wanting Prince Harry to spill some juicy information. He shared: 'My issue with Netflix is Harry has said there's stuff he's kept back that he hasn't put in the book, that he didn't put in the documentary. 'And he's never going to talk about it. 'If the Netflix deal is continuing, they're going to say, 'look, so much for behind the scenes at Polo and flower sprinkles, we actually want to know what else there is.'' When the Duke of Sussex released his 400-page Spare memoir, he claimed there were initially 800 pages written. He explained: "It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out. "But there are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know. Because I don't think they would ever forgive me. 'Now you could argue that some of the stuff I've put in there, well, they will never forgive me anyway.' Royal Reporter Bronte Coy agreed that we could learn more royal secrets. She pointed out that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have years ahead of them to fund their new lavish lifestyle in California, with Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. Harry and Meghan are the world's most boring and unprofitable couple - everything they do is so hilariously bad She added: 'They have a young family. They've got decades ahead of them needing to maintain this lifestyle. 'As you mentioned, it's a California lifestyle.' A-LIST LIFESTYLE The royal reporter added that the couple are 'by no means poor', thanks to Harry's inheritance from his great grandmother, the Queen Mother, and money from Diana's estate. However, she added: 'But their security costs, as you mentioned, I think it's like two million pounds a year. 'Their mortgage would be high. If the Netflix deal is continuing, they're going to say, 'look, so much for behind the scenes at Polo and flower sprinkles, we actually want to know what else there is Simon VigerRoyal Correspondent at 5 News 'These deals were big deals - the Netflix one, the Spotify one, which has been over I think for two years - and the new one that Megan would be on with a much smaller streaming service, it wouldn't be anything like those numbers, you'd have to assume, that they had with Spotify. 'But for all these reasons, I think that you are talking about huge overheads every year, and especially with staffing costs, and that has to be maintained. 'So I think you are looking at a huge amount of money every year that they're needing to spend.' 6 6 FUTURE REVELATIONS She added: 'So, yes, I think that you are looking at a scenario where maybe there will be more books. 'I don't know. We don't know what they'll do in the future.' Simon Viger said that he wishes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle success in their new post-royal life, following stepping down from duties in 2020. He added: 'I mean, they do have a lot of loyal fans, as we know, especially in America. 6 'So I'm sure they'll be able to monetize stuff for a long time. 'I hope it all works out. But I don't know how long you can keep stringing along some of those deals.' Along with Prince Harry's ventures, Meghan has also kept busy, including this year launching her As Ever brand and her Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan.

Prince Harry and King Charles aides hold secret talks in London
Senior aides to the King and Duke of Sussex have met in London, marking a step towards reconciliation between the households. Meredith Maines, Prince Harry's new chief communications officer, was joined at the meeting last week by Liam Maguire, who runs the Sussexes' British PR operation, and Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary. Maines is based in California. A source told The Mail on Sunday: 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years. There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.' The meeting took place at Royal Over-Seas League, a private members' club in Green Park that advertises a commitment to 'fostering international friendship and understanding'. Two months ago Harry told the BBC his father would not speak to him because of his court battle over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to in Britain. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and moving to Montecito, California, Harry lost his automatic taxpayer-funded police protection. He has fiercely contested the decision, insisting that he and his family are at risk whenever they visit. In May this year, the duke lost an appeal seeking to overturn the decision to downgrade his security. He characterised the ruling as 'a good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up' and accused the royal household of influencing the decision. • 'It's not that the King won't speak to Prince Harry — he can't' Buckingham Palace, which is understood to have been blindsided by the interview, said at the time: 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.' Asked by the BBC whether he had asked the King to intervene in the dispute over security, Harry said: 'I never asked him to intervene — I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.' He added: 'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point. There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.' Harry said he had 'forgiven' them and would 'love' to reconcile but that 'there's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious'. He said security had 'always been the sticking point'. Speaking of the meeting at the members' club in London, The Mail on Sunday quoted a source as saying: '[It is only the] first step towards reconciliation between Harry and his father, but at least it is a step in the right direction. 'Everyone just wants to move on and move forward now. It was finally the right time for the two sides to talk.'
