Experts Hugo Vickers and Bronte Coy spoke to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson on the Royal Exclusive show.

Royal biographer Mr Vickers said: “I think they're always at a crisis point, because they've left the Royal Family.

“The Royal Family are working for the United Kingdom commonwealth, whereas they've taken the celebrity route which means they have to completely reinvent themselves the whole time to keep in in front of the public.

“They're always changing direction, therefore they must always be at a crisis point.

“I don't see it lasting. I mean I don't wish, but people actually always act in character, I mean I'm a biographer rather than a journalist.

“So I look at how people deal with their lives and she's dumped her father, her first husband, Jessica Mulroney, the entire British royal family.”

Royal commentator Ms Coy also believed Harry was at a “cross roads” with his career and post Royal Family identity.

She claimed: “I sort of get the impression that Harry would be really happy to just sort of be surfing and doing some charity duties every once in a while but that's clearly not Megan's focus and this that in itself is a is a relatively relatable issue.

“When couples reach those points where they're branching off with different goals for their long term future.

Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson asked: “Can we raise this idea that possibly Harry could be plotting a second book or a podcast?”

Walker replied: “Yeah, well, the reason that some of those details are not read out in was because it was a national part of national security issues.

“That's why. But perhaps it was a bit of a veiled threat from Harry.

“I think there will be people asking the question that if he loses this case, is he going to throw his toys out the pram and publish or speak to a publication about some of that private stuff that we heard in court?”

“So is this going to come to fruition? I think palace sources, you know, the palace are going to be slightly concerned about that one.

“I think they are probably hoping just going back to whether he's going to write a book or not, that Harry and Meghan's Californian dream is going to work out.

“Because if it doesn't, the only thing they've got to fall back on is selling more royal secrets. And I think that is a genuine concern.”

Prince Harry has hinted previously that he has more to say about how he felt he has been treated by his family.

When was released in 2023, Harry bragged in an interview: “It could have been two books, put it that way.
