In 2023, months after Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior members of the UK Royal family, Prince Harry released his memoir ‘Spare’ which sent shockwaves through the royal establishment. In the book, Prince Harry exposed his family’s disputes which were private so far, revealing strained relationships with his father, King Charles, and elder brother, Prince William. From claims of physical altercations to feelings of being the “spare heir” to the British throne, Prince Harry’s candid account deepened the royal divide. While some praised Prince Harry’s honesty, others criticised him for being disloyal, immature, and washing his dirty laundry publicly.

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
