Prince Harry and royal biographer Angela Levin, a legal threat has erupted—Harry is reportedly “furious” and preparing to sue Levin. The alleged provocation? Levin's explosive claim that Harry’s memoir is a calculated attempt to destroy the monarchy.
What Sparked the Threat?
Angela Levin, renowned for her frank commentary on the royal family, recently criticized Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, warning it could follow a familiar path of public critique and revenge. She warned that Harry risks “looking like a traitor to the Royal Family,” and asked, “Does he want to destroy his family?”

Such harsh remarks—especially from someone who spent over a year working closely with him on his biography—could understandably feel like betrayal. If recent developments are to be believed, Harry has responded with fury, viewing Levin's words as defamatory and damaging to both his personal and public reputation.
The Alleged Lawsuit: What’s On the Table?
According to insider whispers, Harry plans to launch a libel suit, asserting that Levin's statements overstate or misrepresent his intentions. His legal team may argue that portraying his memoir as militant or destructive is not only false—but potentially injurious to his legacy and the family name.
No formal legal documents have been filed yet, but insiders claim Harry’s lawyers are drafting a “letter before action,” giving Levin an opportunity to retract or clarify her remarks. Depending on her response, the matter could escalate into a full-fledged court case—or settle quickly out of court.
Levin’s Possible Defense
Angela Levin’s defenders would likely point to her commentary as fair opinion. After all, she published her views in a media appearance—as a commentator, she’s entitled to her perspective. The legal argument may turn on whether her words are seen as actionable statements of fact, or simply harsh—but protected—opinion.
