PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle may be uninvited from the Queen's Jubilee celebrations next year over his shocking tell-all memoir.
The Duke of Sussex earlier this week announced he would be writing a "first hand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful" which would be released in Autumn 2021.
Buckingham Palace insiders claim the Royal Family are terrified about the contents of the book and fear it may be full of exaggerations, half-truths and misunderstandings taken completely out of context.
The timing of the explosive book – being released in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year – has also been branded "deeply disrespectful" over its "clearly deliberate" attempt to hijack the celebrations.
As a result the Queen may now withdraw her olive branch invitation for Meghan and Harry to join the Jubilee celebrations, with one insider telling the Daily Mail "the feeling internally is that this book will be the last straw."

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE ‘HANG OUT WITH THE JET-SET LA RICH SET IN MALIBU AND BEVERLY HILLS’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hanging out with the jet-setting “rich set” in Malibu and Beverley Hills, according to a report.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly been spending time with a string of Hollywood stars in California.
A source told the Mail on Sunday that the Duke had been spending with the “LA rich set” while in California, including the “owners of big companies, jet-set types with private planes.”
The source added: “He spends time in Malibu, Montecito and Beverly Hills.
“Harry seems really relaxed being the star in the room. He’s usually the only famous person at the parties he goes to, and it seems to suit him that he’s the one everyone flocks to.”

'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.

PRINCE HARRY’S UPCOMING MEMOIR ‘NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A F*** YOU’ TO FAMILY – BUT ROYALS ARE WORRIED OVER SURPRISE BOOK
PRINCE Harry's upcoming memoir is not supposed to be a "f*** you" to the Firm – but the royals reportedly 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 andlows" 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.

PRINCE HARRY IS PUTTING THE QUEEN IN A TRICKY SPOT BY EXPECTING HER TO ATTEND LILIBET’S CHRISTENING, SAYS ROYAL EXPERT
PRINCE Harry is putting the Queen in a “difficult position” with expecting her to attend daughter Lilibet’s christening, says a royal expert.
It has been reported that Meghan Markle and Harry want their daughter Lilibet Diana to be christened in St George's Chapel like Archie was.
The Queen didn’t attend Archie’s 2019 ceremony due to prior commitments. Royal expert Angela Levin said it is therefore unreasonable for Harry to expect the Queen to attend Lilibet’s christening.
Angela told Talk Radio: “That puts her in a very difficult position because she can't say that she is not free for years.
“She didn't go to Louis', the third child of Prince William and Kate. So it's not a spiteful thing.”

It comes after it was reported that Charles was "surprised" by news that Prince Harry was writing a bombshell tell-all memoir.
And an insider claimed that Harry seems "bizarrely hellbent" on trashing his dad Prince Charles – who feels his son's constant attacks are 'unjust'.
On Monday, the Duke of Sussex announced an unprecedented publishing deal for his memoirs — timed for release in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.

PRINCE HARRY ‘BIZARRELY HELLBENT’ ON TRASHING DAD CHARLES
Charles is becoming increasingly “concerned over Harry’s chosen path” after being rocked by revelations of his secret book, say sources.
Senior royals were reportedly only told about the memoirs shortly before Harry’s publisher, Penguin Random House, announced the shock deal on Monday.
His spokesperson told the media that Harry didn’t need the Queen’s permission to write the tell-all – believed to be a £14.5million project.
Timed for release in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, Harry’s relationship with Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and ex-girlfriends are likely to form part of the book.

DUKE AND DUCHESS HAD ‘WELL DEVELOPED PROPOSALS WITH QUIBI’ IN PLACE FROM 2019
In September 2020 it was revealed that the Sussexes had signed a lucrative multi-million-pound production deal with Netflix.
Prince Harry and Meghan agreed to a multi-year deal to produce nature series, documentaries and children’s programming.
In April, it was revealed that the couple had been in talks with another billion-dollar backed streaming service before Megxit.
This, according to The Telegraph, led to tensions with Palace staff as the couple were accused of “cashing in” on their status as Royals.
A source close to the situation said: “There were well-developed proposals in place with Quibi from early 2019.”

PRINCE HARRY’S TELL-ALL BOOK LIKELY TO SEE HIM SIDELINED FOR THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE BASH
The Duke’s memoir — due out shortly after the party — is threatening to widen the family rift and put the royal celebration in turmoil.
Royal sources say it will make it “impossible” for him and Meghan to attend.
The Duke, 36, surprised dad Charles, 72, and his brother William, 39, by revealing he was writing a book about his life.
Royal insiders fear it will go further than his Oprah interview, in which Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, branded an unnamed family member as a “racist”.
Palace sources said: “Everyone now thinks it is inconceivable that he and Meghan can be part of the Platinum Jubilee.
“Bringing it out in 2022 when the Queen is celebrating will dampen the party.”

KATE AND MEGHAN’S TEARS
Reports of the row over bridesmaid dresses first surfaced when it was reported Meghan had made Kate cry in the run-up to her and Harry’s wedding in May 2018.
But in her Oprah Winfrey TV interview, Meghan, 39, denied that and claimed it was the other way round.
She said “the reverse happened” and that Kate had apologised to her for making her cry.
Meg added: “The narrative with Kate – which didn’t happen – was really, really difficult and something that. I think that’s when everything changed, really.”

THE QUEEN PUT PRINCE HARRY ‘IN PLACE’ FOR ‘RUDE LANGUAGE’ DURING ROW OVER WIFE MEGHAN MARKLE, ROYAL SOURCE CLAIMS
The Queen put Harry “firmly in his place” after using “rude language” over Meghan Markle’s wedding tiara, royal author claimed.
Meghan Markle wore Queen Mary’s diamond tiara as she tied the knot to Prince Harry in 2017, however it was the cause of stress and fury among the Queen and royal staff.
Royal author, Omid Scobie spoke of the “drama” that lead up to the big day.
He said that dressmaker Angela Kelly made things very difficult when it came to arranging the fittings.
He added: “The drama took place afterwards when Meghan wanted to try that tiara on with her hairstylist, because there is a lot of tech that goes into this.
“The hairstylist came in from overseas, there was an appointment at Buckingham Palace, but nobody was there.”

PALACE OFFICIALS WERE REPORTEDLY UNAWARE OF BOOK
Well-placed sources said Buckingham Palace officials had been unaware of the book.
It is not known if Harry — who met brother William at their mother Diana’s statue unveiling this month — previously told The Queen about it.
One said: “The Prince of Wales’s visit has been scheduled for 18 months. The Sussexes would have known that.
“It may not have been deliberate but it is another example of poor communication. Harry has been writing this memoir for a year but his family appear to have been kept in the dark.
“Harry’s decision to publish a book about the family is unprecedented.
“Clearly no fences were mended while he was visiting for the unveiling of Diana’s statue. If anything, relations between Harry and Charles appear to have got worse.”
A source said: “Harry scrambled to contact his family only when he knew the story was coming out- just moments before it became public.”

EXPLAINED: WHAT IS HARRY'S BOOK ABOUT?
The Duke of Sussex has decided to write about his life even at the relatively tender age of 36.
Harry has promised to examine the “highs and lows” of his extraordinary life as royal, which culminated in his bitter “Megxit” split from the Royal Family.
In a statement from his £11million mansion in Montecito, California, Harry, 36, said: “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.”
