PRINCE Harry's upcoming memoirs could be "the most devastating" release to hit the Royal Family in 30 years, an expert says.
As whispers continue to spread over what the Duke's bombshell may include, a royal expert has claimed the book's contents could cause tremors for the Firm.
Daniela Elser said: "If even a small percentage of the speculation about what he might reveal and what dirt he might dish is correct, this book is shaping up to be the most devastating royal release in 30 years and since Diana, Princess of Wales started whispering in the ear of Andrew Morton.”
Harry's tell-all memoir is set to be released to the public this November – and commentators say the book will focus heavily on his anguish following his mother’s death in August 1997.
Official judicial sources in Paris say the Duke of Sussex’s researchers have been seeking information about the car crash that killed his mother 25 years ago.
The tome, which US author J R Moehringer is writing, is reportedly unlikely to contain criticisms of the Queen.
But it is thought that Harry’s dad Charles and brother William will feature over Megxit.

Prince Harry’s old party buddies have stuff to say in memoir
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has had many embarrassing moments in his life.
For example, in 2012 photos of the naked prince showed him playing strip billiards.
With his memoir coming up, Duncan Larcombe, The Sun’s former royal editor, thinks it’s essential that Harry mention these events.
“If he is going to keep the book largely focused on his own journey, he does need to acknowledge — and try and make sense of — those dark, boozy years for it to have any credibility,” he told the Daily Beast.

Heavy influence
PRINCE Harry was heavily influenced by Princess Diana's plan to go to the US as his mother previously viewed it as a "place of sanctuary", according to her ex-bodyguard.
Lee believes Princess Diana’s plan to move to the US influenced Prince Harry’s move there with Meghan.
He said: “This trauma happened when the building blocks for life were being formulated. His mother saw America as a place of sanctuary. He will be drawing on his experiences from then.”
He added: “I actually signed up to join Diana and Dodi in America. She was definitely going, and that was that. She told me she was going there.
"She didn’t want to, but that was the only place she felt people weren’t having a go at her. It was probably her way of keeping sane, to get some respite.”

Exclusive – Diana feared assassination ex-bodyguard reveals
Burnley-born Lee Sansum, who has covered his incredible career in personal protection in a new book, was assigned to look after Dodi and Diana, then 36, when they stayed at his boss’s 30-bedroom villa in St Tropez, in the South of France, during July 1997.
Every day Diana would wake up at 7am and chat to the bodyguard. He said: “She had been happy on that holiday.
“But I had seen her in tears too, when she learned of the murder of her friend, the fashion designer Gianni Versace. She confided in me her own fears that she might one day be assassinated.
“She asked if I thought his murder outside his home was a professional killing.
“I thought it was. Then she said something that always stayed with me — ‘Do you think they’ll do that to me?’ She was shaking and it was clear from her tone that she really thought that they might, whoever ‘they’ might be.
“I spent some time reassuring her that no one was going to try to kill her and she was safe with us, but she definitely thought there was a risk that one day she might be assassinated.”

Exclusive – Diana would still be here if I’d been on duty, ex-bodyguard claims
HE is the bodyguard who Princess Diana nicknamed Rambo and with whom she had several heart-to-hearts revealing her biggest fears and future plans.
And 25 years on from her death, Lee Sansum says he is adamant she would be alive today if he had been with her on the night she died alongside Dodi Fayed in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997.
In an exclusive interview, Lee has told how security guards drew straws to accompany bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones in the car, and he lost.
He also reveals the fun bets he had with a young Prince and how he treasures a letter from Diana thanking him for making her final sunshine holiday in St Tropez “magical” — and her fears she may be assassinated.
Lee, now 60, said: “It could have been me in that car.
“We drew straws to see who would be accompanying Trevor that weekend. I pulled a match and it was a long one.
“When I learned they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn’t survive. That shouldn’t have happened.
“It was standard practice for the family to wear seatbelts. It was an order sent down from the boss, Dodi’s dad Mohamed Fayed. Dodi, in particular, hated wearing seatbelts and I always insisted on it.”

Prince Harry 'could return'
PRINCE Harry "could return to the UK" for a new role when Charles ascends to the throne, the Duke's former protection officer claims.
The Duke quit the UK in 2020 for a new life in the US with Meghan and son Archie after the couple stepped down as senior royals.
Speaking on the Pod Save the Queen podcast, the Duke's former police protection officer Ken Wharfe revealed he thought the Duke could return home for a new role.
When asked if the Sussexes ever come back to the UK to live, Ken said: "Personally I do and I base that on gut reaction really. I just cannot see them forever more living in California.
"It's clear to me that Harry is not quite a fish out of sea – I mean he is getting involved in charitable work and he has these attachments to Netflix and other companies but quite where they'll end up we don't know.
"But I just think his involvement with his military charities – quite how he runs that on the other side of the Atlantic, I don't know.
"But I just have this feeling that he could well be back in a new role, with or without Meghan – I honestly don't know.
"But to answer your question, I do think he will be back in some form as part of his father's plan for trimming down the monarchy because within the next decade that is going to happen."

How did Diana die?
Diana died aged 36 in August 1997 when the car she was travelling in hit an underpass pillar.

Harry's memoir unlikely to criticise the Queen
Royal commentators say the book will focus heavily on his anguish following his mother’s death in August 1997.
Harry, 37, blamed the tragedy for mental health problems that he tried to resolve with drink and drugs.
Five years ago — long before he had thought about writing a book — Harry invited friends of his mother to share memories and private photographs of her.
The tome, which US author J R Moehringer is writing, is reportedly unlikely to contain criticisms of the Queen.
But it is thought that Harry’s dad Charles and brother William will feature over Megxit.

Prince Harry ‘intensely focused’ on investigating Diana’s final moments
Prince Harry has been “intensely focused” on investigating Princess Diana’s final hours for his new book.
Official judicial sources in Paris say the Duke of Sussex’s researchers have been seeking information about the car crash that killed his mother 25 years ago.
They are believed to be involved in the ghost-written memoir that Harry is set to release this year, and related TV and podcast projects.
One source, who was involved in the original crash investigation, said: “There have been approaches which suggest Prince Harry is intensely focused on getting more information about his mother’s death.
“There are plenty of people in France who recall the night of the accident. It’s only normal that Diana’s son should want to learn more about it for his book.”

Prince Harry’s memoir ‘won’t be a feel-good read’ for Royal Family
Prince Harry’s memoir “won’t be a feel-good read”, royal editor Daniela Elser claimed.
With the Duke of Sussex’s “tell-all” autobiography set to arrive in bookstores ahead of Thanksgiving and Christmas in the United States, the columnist bluntly predicted the memoir will potentially become “the most painful chapter yet in the long and sorry tale of Megxit”.
Harry, 37, has been writing the book with the help of ghostwriter JR Moehringer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, since 2020.
Express Online reports that Ms Elser pointed at Harry’s and wife Meghan’s history as an obvious indicator of what future readers should expect to discover among the book’s highly-anticipated pages.

Kate and Will set for shock swap with Andrew and Fergie
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to make the move to Windsor this summer.
With the couple set to move into Adelaide Cottage, they could also take up residence in the Royal Lodge, the current home of Andrew and Fergie.
Royal expert Rachel Bowie has suggested Andrew could be on his way out, following Fergie’s purchase of a swanky Mayfair home.
She said: “It is interesting because there’s a lot of talk about the Cambridges moving into Royal Lodge.
“Supposedly, Andrew and Fergie are staying at Royal Lodge for now but if they had this other home is the plan maybe they can move into this Mayfair place and the Cambridges could move into Royal Lodge? Who knows.”

Tina Brown told the Daily Express: “I don’t think that the next season of The Crown is going to be something that Harry is going to seriously approve of.”

Prince Andrew NOT the favourite
PRINCE Andrew is NOT the Queen and Prince Phillip’s favourite child according to a royal author due to the way his sibling was treated when they were younger.
Royal author, Matthew Dennison claims in his new book that Prince Edward is the Queen’s pick of her four children.
In his lengthy biography of the monarch, Mr Dennison wrote: “Prince Edward, seemingly a bit wet and a tad irritating to the rest of us, was always his parents’ favourite.
“That became apparent in 1987 when Edward, aged 22, opted out of the Royal Marines when he was just a third of the way through his 12-month basic training course.
“To the surprise of some, Prince Philip did not come down on his son like a ton of bricks.
“He accepted that the Marines ‘wasn’t right for Edward’ – and to this day Edward is grateful for that.”
It comes as Prince Andrew is still costing taxpayers an eye watering amount of money as the Duke is still entitled to bodyguards following a review.
The condition was subjected to a full review after he was exiled as a working royal by the Queen earlier this year.
