His wish to share in-depth details of his experience of royal life may come at the cost of any future reconciliation. Mr Lownie compared Harry's exploits and his autobiographical aspirations to those of Prince Edward, who released A King's Story: The Memoirs of HRH the Duke of Windsor in 1951 after abdicating the throne for his marriage to American divorcee Wallis Simpson fifteen years earlier. He told Express.co.uk : “The lesson was that if you leave the Royal Family you are going to be completely shut out and frozen and it’s not a good move. “There are people who have stepped down from royal duties.
