Last year, the announcement that Prince Harry would be writing a memoir made headlines, but it seems that not everyone is looking forward to reading a memoir about his family's history. We previously reported that some relatives consider the fact that Prince Harry is writing a memoir to be "disrespectful" to the Queen (opens in new tab), but apparently it is the timing of the book's publication that is now causing a stir.

According to a Penguin Random House press release (opens in new tab), the memoir promises to be "an honest and fascinating personal portrait." In the same release, Harry himself describes his experiences growing up in the royal household as "accurate and completely true."

And while the release date for the memoir is currently set for "late 2022," the Express (opens in new tab) quotes at least one source who is particularly anxious to pick that year. Grant Harold, who served as royal butler from 2004 to 2011, called the release date, which would likely coincide with the queen's long-awaited platinum jubilee, "not the best timing."

Harold said, "I'm sure we all knew this celebration was coming up ... So it seems really odd timing, and I would have thought maybe they would have postponed it personally."

For one thing, there is concern that the book's contents might damage the royal family or tarnish the queen's image (though no one knows what the book is about yet). Another is that the release of the book could "overshadow" the Queen's celebrations:

"I hope it will be a nice memoir, but if not, one of the biggest problems is that it will overshadow the Queen's celebrations.

How damaging the book will actually be, if at all, only time will tell. However, I can't wait to read it when it is released.
