Prince Harry legal fight ignites Palace fears of 'Spare' follow up

Prince Harry is considering blasting royals a second time in a Spare follow-up, reportedly fears, in the wake of his flurry of recent legal activity.

The , 40, has been locked in a protracted High Court battle over his Brit taxpayer provided security team, with the government having revoked his protections four years following his move to the US. He is said to view the decision as "a means of trying to force them back into Britain and establishment life, by making visits to the UK as outsiders more difficult and potentially unsafe". This, sources believe, could motivate him to author a second book taking aim at the royal establishment.

A source speaking to The Sun said there are "fears" about moves the Prince may choose to make following what is viewed as an "intensely personal" court battle. They said on Saturday: "This is clearly intensely personal. There are fears about what he might do if the decision goes against him. This could not come at a worse time."

The source added that there also exist fears he could air his grievances over the media, whether in another book - a follow-up to his bestselling biography Spare - or on a podcast.

They said: “There’s a lot of worry that Harry could tell all in a book deal or even follow Meghan’s lead and make a podcast. He’s hinted he has discovered secrets during the hearings — particularly regarding the treatment of him and Meghan — that would shock us all. It is a veiled threat essentially that he will tell all if it doesn’t go the way he wants it to."

While there are fears the Prince is finding a loudhaler for his grievances, he is currently "overwhelmed" by the constant stream of legal action, which has now lasted more than three years since he left the UK.

He told the Telegraph following a two-day hearing at the court of appeal that the bid to remove his police protection was "difficult to swallow". He added that, of all the cases he has battled since parting ways with the , the fight for his security "always mattered the most".

But much of the appeal this week and the original hearing last year were held in private, with "highly confidential" evidence given to the court.

The Prince said following his court appearance that people "would be shocked by what’s being held back", he added that his "worst fears have been confirmed by the whole legal disclosure in this case and that’s really sad".
