PRINCE Harry’s explosive memoir could be pushed back after his secret meeting with the Queen and Charles, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex jetted to the UK for the face-to-face reunions in what could be a “peace summit” between the warring relatives.
The couple met with Her Majesty as part of their whistle-stop tour to Windsor Castle – their first joint British trip since they quit royal duty in March 2020.
They also saw Prince Charles on the visit, first revealed by The Celeb Report.
Despite tensions running high within the family – particularly after the Sussex’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey and the announcement Harry was secretly writing a tell-all book about his life – it is thought their surprise get-together could have been “productive”.
And it may mean the duke decides to hold off releasing his “wholly truthful” account of the “highs and lows” of his extraordinary life.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said: “It is very important that this happened, and hopefully it will be seen as being productive.
“Harry’s memoir is coming, but memoirs can always be put back.
“It is very possible that some agreement was decided for the book.”
Richard also said that if the conversations went well, the Sussexes could even make an appearance at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
They are currently not expected to attend amid security concerns and Harry’s legal battle for police protection in the UK.
“Harry last saw the Queen at the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral and Meghan hasn’t seen her, that we know of, since they detonated nuclear by stepping down as working royals, so this could certainly be a peace summit,” he said.
“Relations have hit rock bottom and it has not been an easy period for the royals, particularly as the Queen is not in good health.
“But the family likely would simply have wanted to make Harry and Meghan feel at ease.
“And if they felt so, they could certainly come out for the Jubilee. This trip has certainly made that clear.”
But despite the optimism, Richard admitted they could also change their mind at the last minute as the Sussexes are “the most unpredictable couple on the planet”.
“You would need a crystal ball to predict what they will do next,” he said.
‘HIGHS AND LOWS’
Harry’s plans to release an autobiography emerged in July.
Courtiers close to Charles said he only discovered the plan when it was made public.
Announcing the unprecedented publishing deal, Harry said from his £11million mansion in Montecito, California: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.
“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a first-hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”

The prince signed with publisher Penguin Random House and will be donating any fee to charity after making tens of millions of dollars with Netflix and Spotify.
The publisher said it was an “honest” and “intimate” autobiography – sparking fears of more revelations after his Oprah interview with Meghan accused the Royal Family of racism.
