PRINCE Harry could release the “most shocking claims yet” in his bombshell book, a royal expert has claimed ahead of its launch.
The Duke of Sussex announced the release of his upcoming book last year, vowing to give a “wholly truthful” account of his life.
The announcement was said to have triggered a “tsunami of fear” in Buckingham Palace, with concerns the memoir could echo Harry’s explosive Oprah interview.
He is expected to hash out the reasons he left the Firm behind, name and shame the “royal racist” and delve into Princess Diana‘s life and divorce.
The official release of Harry’s highly-anticipated memoir, which will discuss his journey “from childhood to the present day” has not yet been announced.
But an expert claimed it is set to contain “juicy details” on the fallout with the Royals after the 37-year-old received a £15million advance from publishers.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl believes he and wife Meghan will “drip-feed teasers” to the public to gear them up for a dramatic read.
She told Closer magazine: “The book will no doubt be full of more intimate and shocking revelations – Harry wouldn’t have got a multi-million-pound advance without promising some juicy details.
“And in the build-up to that, I imagine Harry and Meghan will have a carefully thought out publicity drive, which will see them drip-feed teasers in the months building up to the release,” she said.
“There’ll be more shocking claims to come, perhaps their biggest yet!

“I’m sure the Queen has a lot of anxiety over that and the royals will be braced for more bombshells.”
It is feared the release of the book threatens to overshadow Her Majesty’s Jubilee celebrations – even though he and Meghan could return to the UK to join in the fun.
Harry’s promise to share a “truthful” account of his life has sparked reports Prince Charles is eager to mend their relationship ahead of its release.
The future king offered his son an “olive branch” by paying tribute to Harry in a Newsweek essay praising his environmental work.
Charles told how “proud” he is of the duke for “passionately highlighting the impact of climate change”.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told the Sun Online he believes the Prince of Wales’ public display of affection was done “in the hope that there will be a form of reconciliation.”
‘LESSONS LEARNED’
The two were said to have “barely spoken” over the last year as their relations hit an “all time low”.
Harry’s personal attacks against his father since Megxit have forced them apart and left Charles “deeply shocked and hurt”, sources say.
The Duke of Sussex said he would reveal “the highs and lows, the mistakes and lessons learned” in his statement confirming the book.
Harry has been writing the book with ghostwriter J.R. Moehringer – who has also written memoirs for Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.
He said he will be donating his profits from the book to charity.
An audiobook version will also be released.
