PRINCE Harry’s upcoming memoir is not supposed to be a “f*** you” to the Firm – but the royals are said to be worried about the surprise book.
Insiders claim the Duke of Sussex simply wants to tell his “truth” and has no intention to deliberately hurt his family.
Harry, 36, announced he had been secretly writing his autobiography and vowed to examine the “highs and lows” of his extraordinary life.
The memoir – due out during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year – is threatening to widen the family rift and put the royal celebration in turmoil.
The Palace has allegedly been warned they “should be afraid” of what’s to come from it.
But a source told PageSix it is not the duke’s plan to abandon his family for good.
He has instead approached the book as a way to reflect on his life and correct misinformation.
However, royal insiders couldn’t disagree more, with almost all senior royals fearful of a repeat of the Oprah Winfrey interview – or worse.
One said: “On what planet does Harry think that this is not a ‘f*** you’ to the family?”
‘VERY DAMAGING’
As well as Prince Charles and Prince William, Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie is reportedly less than thrilled about the book.
And Clarence House is believed to be anxious for what Harry might write about his stepmother Camilla, according to MailOnline.
A source told the outlet: “Let’s be honest, Harry has never been close to the Duchess of Cornwall.
“If he documents their fraught relationship in the book, it could be very damaging at a time when Charles is laying the groundwork for her to become Queen.”
The memoir will detail Harry’s life as a member of the Royal Family, his relationship with wife Meghan Markle, Megxit and raising his children.
The currently untitled autobiography is set for release in 2022 – as Her Majesty celebrates 70 years of service.
Harry is working with Pulitzer Prize-winner J R Moehringer, who has written memoirs for tennis legend Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.
He 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” account of his life – sparking fears of more revelations after his Oprah interview with Meghan accused the Royal Family of racism.
The explosive televised chat sent shockwaves through the Palace and made the existing rift between Harry and his brother and father even deeper.
