At first, RadarOnline.com reported that the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, are reportedly in talks about potentially releasing a “carefully worded” apology; we hear Harry hopes to take it one step further.

“He had a lot of regrets over some of his takes and the details he should never have revealed,” our source claims.

Because of this, Harry is reportedly “desperately trying to negotiate” to release a revised version of Spare, which was released in 2023, or a separate book that reflects on his experiences following its release.

Famously, Harry referenced his relationship with his father in the memoir, which was published by Penguin Random House.

Details included him alleging that his father didn’t hug him when he told him that Princess Diana passed away, among other revelations about their complicated relationship.

“It’s his chance to make things right and eat some humble pie. He and Meghan are desperately running out of options,” our insider says of a second book.

In a sign towards reunion, Harry and Meghan privately met with the King in July, with their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, in tow.

While it seemed like a step in the right direction to mending the rift between the father and son, a source told New Idea that Charles is “over the drama and chaos around Harry”.

“He never wanted it to come to this, but now it’s so serious; Harry’s inheritance could even be on the line,” a royal insider shared.

With the possibility that Harry could be removed from the will, we were also told that Harry’s recent visit to the UK was “almost the final straw for Charles”.

“He’s been Harry’s last remaining champion, of sorts, in the royal family, but after recent events, even Charles has had enough,” they added.

With Camilla warning that she wants any reunions to remain behind closed doors, it remains to be seen how a potential second book could affect things.
