LONDON, This British overseas territory has been mentioned as a haven in the wake of what has been described as a growing rift between the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, the son of King Charles III.
In his soon-to-be-released memoir “Spare,” Harry claims he was advised to move to Bermuda to escape media intrusion.
The controversial book officially goes on sale this coming week. Still, British newspapers have obtained copies of the publication and spent little time printing excerpts and analysis articles.
Harry and his wife, American actress Meghan Markle, stood down as working royals and moved to the United States in 2020. They claimed that negative press coverage of the Duchess was one of their reasons for wanting to quit their royal roles and leave Britain.
According to an article in England’s Daily Telegraph newspaper, Prince Harry’s stepmother, Camilla, the Queen Consort, suggested that the couple could move to Bermuda to avoid the press.
“As well as the clashes over money, Prince Harry writes about how his father was dismissive of his concerns over press intrusion, telling him simply not to read the papers,” the article stated.
“While Prince Harry turned to the King for help, the Duchess of Sussex phoned Queen Camilla only to be told that, if they wished to escape the press’s attention, the Duke should take the job of governor-general of Bermuda. That, the Duke said, would come with the ‘bonus’ of making him and his wife disappear from the picture.“
Rena Lalgie, a British civil servant who is the current British Governor of Bermuda, took up the post in 2020.
She is the island’s first female Governor and the first black person to take the position.
