Amidst deafening silence from the royal family about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since Queen Elizabeth's funeral in late September, questions surrounding Prince Harry's tell-all book continue to arise, including speculation over whether the exposé will ever actually reach shelves. Royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Fox News Digital that despite any misgivings Harry may have, it is too late to pull the book. He says Harry's publisher, Penguin Random House, has invested "a lot of time, effort, money and so on in producing the book, addressing and doing all those things to it," so they will not acquiesce to growing pressure Harry may be feeling from his family to "soften" his book.
"It could be their best-selling book of all time. Who knows," says Larcombe of Penguin Random House.
"So they won't want to just turn around and say, 'Fair enough Harry. Yeah? You don't want to rock the boat anymore at this time.' Simply doesn't work like that.They're in a business commercial world now." He says, "If Penguin want their book, and they've got the manuscript, Harry might have a hell of a fight on his hands, to contain anything of his plans." Prince Harry's book deal with Penguin Random House reportedly featured a hefty down-payment in return for a manuscript.
