I wouldn't think twice about donating blood or organs to a close relative if needed it goes without saying, why is he going all My Brother's Keeper over something most families would do for one another?

Indeed, he might not even be a match...

Yes the true feelings
are a sign of his new Book
is not working well.



[He claimed that 'if people had listened'
to his concerns earlier, the gulf between
he and Meghan and the rest of the
royals would not have grown so wide.
He added: 'It was all so avoidable.]

So now Harry is saying he 'left a lot of bad stuff out because his brother and father would never forgive him....but there is enough for another book'

Is this almost like Blackmail???....what a nasty piece of work he has turned out to be.

It will be interesting if Harry’s side of things prove to be the more accurate account … in the years to come

Great minds I just came on to post this.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...ng-his-family/

Is Prince Harry blackmailing his family?

…..Harry’s revelation that he has at least another book’s worth of considerably more scandalous material, which was dropped from his memoir for fear of causing irreconcilable offence, and his implicit threat that it could yet be published. In his words, ‘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……’

The suggestion is clear: dance to my tune, or they will emerge in a future volume. He also states that the media has ‘a **** tonne of dirt’ about his family; the implication is that he will corroborate this, if required.
This appears to be, of course, nothing less than blackmail. Given that there are still questions swirling about how accurate Spare is – never did the phrase ‘recollections may vary’ seem more appropriate – then it would be easy to describe yet more scandalous revelations emerging as an attempt on Harry’s part to continue to convey his feelings of anger at his family in as public a fashion as possible. It also seems clear that the suggestion of further damaging revelations means that he is uninterested in any kind of behind-the-scenes peace settlement. He will not meet ‘the Firm’ halfway, or agree to anything other than a formal summit and a public apology.
...........
It is absolutely blackmail... my feelings now for this poor excuse for a man - just utter contempt.

It’s similar to the ‘concerns about Archie’s skin colour’ comment, it’s designed to get people speculating about what it could be and thinking badly of Charles and Big Willy, he will be back in a year saying he didn’t say it...and that it’s all the fault of the press

Like Rusti understood, it's emotional blackmail, not monetary as we all know he's already been paid.
My understanding is that Harry and Meghan have a joint contract for 4 books.
The first was Meghan's The Bench, Harry's current book, a 'Wellness' (lol) book by them both...and the 4th? Possibly the blackmail book (Emotional).

To think if the royal family supported Harry and Meghan instead of leaking stories to the press this wouldn’t have happened
