PRINCE Harry’s bombshell memoir will be released on January 10, it is reported.
It comes after the Duke of Sussex, who has already received half of a £35million deal for his memoirs, delayed publishing in the wake of the Queen’s death.
Harry delayed his bombshell book in the wake of the Queen’s death
The Celeb Report told how the prince had tried to make last-minute changes after sources said he feared parts would be deemed insensitive so soon after the Queen’s death — and his dad Charles taking the throne.
It also emerged he got an advance of around £17.5million ($20million) for the “wholly truthful” memoir — part of a £35million four-book deal.
Now industry executives have revealed to The New York Times that the book will be published on January 10 – almost exactly three years after Megxit.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they would be “stepping back as ‘senior’ members” of the Royal Family on January 8 2020.

Harry’s book has been ghost-written by American novelist JR Moehringer, whose 2009 autobiography on former tennis ace Andre Agassi featured attacks on his parents and upbringing.
Harry has already launched verbal blasts at his family, accusing one of being a racist during the Oprah Winfrey interview in March last year.
He also said Charles “literally cut me off financially”.
Weeks later, he claimed he took his family to the US to avoid the “genetic pain” of his upbringing.
In a promotional statement for his book, Harry said he was “excited for people to read a first-hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful”.
Harry, and Meghan, are also said to want to edit and delay the streaming of their Netflix series.
Sources said the Sussexes have secretly planned a year of reconciliation with the Royal Family – but only after the memoir and Netflix series have come out.
It is thought the couple never looked to criticise the Queen out of respect for the monarch.
But if any of their so-called truth bombs are dropped on the new King and Queen they could thwart any reconciliation plans, it is said.
A source said: “They have always been careful to not criticise the monarch. They have always tried to be respectful to the Queen.

“But the Queen has now died and Charles and Camilla are the King and Queen.
“Clearly, this reconciliation attempt would never work if they have been critical of the new monarch, or both.”
