William to take control Duke poised to lead royal response to Harry's memoir bombshells

Prince William could change how the Royal Family responds to criticisms once his father Prince Charles takes control.

This comes after Prince Harry announced a surprise tell-all memoir deal with Penguin/Random House.

Royal experts Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie suggested that by the time the memoir is released, late next year, the reaction from the royals could be tougher.

Ms Fiorito told listeners of their podcast Royally Obsessed: "William isn't in a position where he can do a memoir.

"Everyone has their own perspective on what went down."

Ms Bowie responded: "Do you think there will be reactionary stuff from the Palace?.

"Like I thought the Queen might strip their titles when I first heard the news."

She continued: "Other rumours speculate about them getting disinvited from the Platinum Jubilee next year.

"Are the Cambridges going to go on a charm offensive? What is going to be the reaction of the Royal Family?"

Ms Fiorito explained: "I think over the course of the next year before the memoir comes out, we will see quite an evolution within the Royal Family as well.

"We are on the precipice of a lot of change. The Queen is 95. Will reactions to these kinds of stories change when Charles is king?

"When William has more of a prominent role as heir to the throne? Right now I don't think there will be much more than a statement."

Ms Bowie said that the Royal Family is in a lose-lose situation "because if they respond, they seem threatened by the book or if they don't do anything, then this will continue to happen".

Ms Fiorito added: "But, we are living in a society that wants transparency and you can't just have canned statements."
