What bombshells will Prince Harry reveal in his tell-all book?

Prince Harry has once again sent shockwaves of fear through the Royal Family after it was revealed that he is planning to release a tell-all memoir about his life in the Monarchy and his bombshell decision to quit his royal duties. 

The Duke of Sussex, 36, has secretly working on the memoir for the past year and has since sold the book to publishers at Penguin Random House for an undisclosed amount. 

His book marks the first time that a senior royal has written this kind of tell-all, and the news of its existence comes amid an ongoing, and increasingly-bitter, rift between Harry and Meghan, and the rest of the Royal Family. 

Thus far, few details about the book's exact contents have been shared, however Penguin Random House issued a statement in which it revealed Harry's book will provide an 'intimate and heartfelt' look into his life.

'In an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time, Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him,' the blurb reads. 

'Covering his lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the frontlines of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, on that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have already rocked the Royal Family to its very core with a series of very damaging allegations about the Monarchy, many of which were made during their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March.

The Duke then added more fuel to the fire during his mental health-focused Apple TV+ special, The Me You Can't See, with Oprah, 67, which premiered in May. 

But the embittered Harry will no doubt have plenty more to share in the pages of his book - which is currently due to be published in late 2022 - and which will no doubt plunge the Royal Family into further controversy. 

So what bombshell revelations can be expected from the Duke's upcoming tell-all - and will Harry choose to name and shame the people involved?   

The identity of the royal who made remarks about Archie's 'dark' skin

One of the most damaging allegations to come out of Harry and Meghan's primetime interview with Oprah Winfrey was the couple's claim that a senior member of the Royal Family questioned 'how dark' their son Archie's skin would be. 

Meghan claimed during the sit-down that member of 'The Firm' had 'several' conversations with Prince Harry about the color of their son's skin when she was pregnant, saying: 'All around this same time, we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title and also concerns and conversations as how dark his skin might be when he's born.

'That was relayed to me from Harry from conversations that family had with him.'  

She refused to identify the person in question, saying only that it 'would be really damaging to them' if their name was to be revealed.  

The allegation sparked a furious controversy - with many demanding to know exactly who had made the comments.  

After the interview aired, Oprah revealed that Harry had made clear to her that the comments were not made by the Queen or her late husband Prince Philip. She did not share any other details about their identity. 

However, given the increasingly acrimonious relationship between the couple and the rest of the Royal Family, Harry may well choose to name the person involved in his memoir - which would no doubt spark a furious backlash, and could well prompt an investigation into that royal's behavior.  

The truth behind Harry's bitter rift with his brother Prince William 

There has been plenty of speculation about what exactly caused the fall-out between Harry and his older brother William, 39, with the former giving little information away during recent interviews - only telling Oprah that there is 'space' between the two of them and that they are on 'different paths'. 

'We've been through hell together, we have a shared experience, but we were on different paths,' he said.  

The rift between the brothers has certainly been made all the more severe by Harry and Meghan's decision to repeatedly blast the Monarchy in such public forums and it is understood the relations between the siblings are at their lowest point. 

Father-of-three William was said to have been left 'reeling' by Harry's comments to Oprah - as well as his younger brother's decision to share private details about a conversation between the brothers with CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King, who revealed to the world on live TV that the chat was 'not productive'.  

However it is understood that tensions between the once-inseparable Harry and William began long before the former sat down in front of a camera to air his grievances about The Firm to the world. 

The widening rift between the brothers has been the subject of much speculation - and is even the subject of a book, Battle of Brothers, by royal historian and biographer Robert Lacey, who claimed that the feud began long before Harry even met Meghan. 

According to Lacey, signs of tension between Harry and William began in the early 2000s, when the younger sibling found himself at the center of a drugs scandal and then, months later, became embroiled in furious controversy after he was pictured wearing a Nazi uniform at a costume party.  

Lacey's book suggests that Harry felt abandoned by his brother during this time and this resulted in a serious rift between the siblings. 

However, it has been widely reported that their most recent rift began amid 'bullying' accusations against Meghan, who is alleged to have pushed several staff members at Kensington Palace into quitting - claims that she has vehemently denied. 

Lacey has claimed that William approached Harry to discuss a 'dossier of distress' that had been compiled about Meghan's behavior - however that conversation quickly turned into a bitter row, which became so heated that William 'threw Harry out'.   

Harry's decision to step down as a senior member of the Royal Family and move to the US with his wife and son only served to worsen the rift between the brothers - neither of whom have ever addressed the fall-out in any detail. 

Although Harry hinted at the rift in his interview with Oprah, his book could well offer much more detail about his relationship with his brother - and finally bring to light the Prince's views on what exactly sparked the fall-out in the first place.  

An attack on Charles' parenting: How did the Prince of Wales cause Harry 'genetic pain and suffering' 

Another shock allegation made by Prince Harry during his interview with Oprah was his claim that his father had 'stopped taking his calls' during the build-up to Megxit - before 'cutting him off financially' when the Sussexes moved to the US. 

Harry claimed that his brother and father are both 'trapped' in the Royal Family, before revealing that he and Charles were not on speaking terms after his father stopped picking up the phone, adding: 'There's a lot to work through there. I feel really let down.'

The Duke claimed that he'd had 'three conversations' with the Queen and 'two conversations' with Charles about his desire to step down as a senior royal, but insisted that his father 'stopped taking his calls' after that second chat. 

According to Harry, Charles refused to continue speaking with his son about his plans for Megxit after he 'took matters into his own hands' out of concern for his own mental health, and that of his wife and son. 

'It's really sad that it's gotten to this point, but I've got to do something for my own mental health, my wife's, and for Archie's, as well, because I could see where this was headed,' he said. 

'I feel really let down because he's been through something similar, he knows what pain feels like, [and] Archie's his grandson.

'But at the same time - I will always love him - but there's a lot of hurt that's happened and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship.

'But they only know what they know, or what they're told.'

Much like William, Charles has never addressed his relationship - or rift - with Harry, however it may be that the Duke of Sussex has plenty more to say on the matter, and he could well choose to once again blast his father's behavior, this time in the pages of his book, rather that in a TV interview.  

The book could also provide Harry with the opportunity to address his upbringing, something that he touched upon briefly during an appearance on Dax Shepherd's mental health-focused podcast, Armchair Expert, when he blasted his father's parenting, suggesting that it left him with 'genetic pain and suffering'. 

During the interview, Harry claimed that Charles had 'suffered' because of his upbringing by the Queen and Prince Philip, and that the Prince of Wales had then 'treated me the way he was treated', calling it 'genetic pain'. 

''I don't think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I'm going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don't pass it on, basically,' he said. 

'It's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, "You know what, that happened to me, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you."'

Meghan v. Kate: What really happened between the two women to cause such acrimony? 

In the opening minutes of her interview with Oprah, Meghan made a shock claim about her relationship with Kate Middleton, accusing the Duchess of Cambridge of making her cry in the lead-up to her wedding to Prince Harry. 

Rumors of a row between Meghan and Kate, 39, made headlines around the world after the couple's royal wedding in May 2018 - however it was initially reported that the argument over a flower girl's dress had left the Duchess of Cambridge in tears, and not the other way around as Meghan told Oprah. 

A source said at the time: 'Kate had only just given birth to her third child, Prince Louis, and was feeling quite ­emotional.' 

When asked about the fall-out, Meghan insisted that 'the reverse happened', saying: 'I don't say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding.

'And she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized.

'And she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing. And she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone, right, to just take accountability for it.'

Meghan added that it was 'shocking' that the 'reverse of that would be out in the world'.   

Harry has never addressed the rumors and reports about a fall-out between his wife and his sister-in-law, however his new book could well mark the first time that he chooses to voice his own opinions about the relationship between the two women.  

He may also choose to speak out about speculation that Meghan did not feel she received enough 'support' from Kate in her early days within the Royal Family, something that has been claimed by several sources over the years. 

Harry's return to London: How the Duke was perceived during reunions with his family in the wake of bombshell Oprah interview

In the wake of his bombshell TV and podcast interviews, Harry has returned to the UK to reunite with his family on just two occasions.

The first reunion took place in April, when the Duke of Sussex flew to London to attend the funeral of his grandfather, Prince Philip, who was in hospital recovering from surgery when Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview first aired. 

His second trip home took place earlier this month, when he traveled to the UK in order to unveil a statue in honor of his late mother Princess Diana.  

On both occasions, there was a great deal of speculation about the reception that Harry might have received from his relatives, many of whom are said to be incredibly upset and angry over the public bashings dished out to the Monarchy by Harry and Meghan over the past year. 

Although the Duke is said to have met privately with his brother William, his father Charles, and his grandmother the Queen during these trips, Harry himself has never spoken out about what it was like to reunite with the royals following the furious controversy that arose from his numerous interviews. 

Before Harry traveled back to London to unveil his mother's statue on July 1 - which would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday - it was reported that the brothers had been exchanging friendly text messages about England's performance in the Euro  

Did Harry and Meghan really ask the Queen's permission before naming their second child Lilibet? 

The Sussexes' decision to name their daughter Lilibet after the Queen's childhood nickname sparked furious debate - and much backlash - with many questioning whether they had sought permission from the Monarch before announcing their second child's moniker publicly. 

In the days after Lilibet 'Lili' Diana's birth, a briefing war broke out between the couple and the Palace, after senior Buckingham Palace sources told the BBC's royal correspondent Jonny Dymond that the Queen was 'never asked' for her opinion on the couple's choice of name. 

However, Harry hit back within 90 minutes of the BBC's report being published through a statement from his and Meghan's close friend Omid Scobie that insisted the Queen was the first person the Duke called after the birth of his daughter.

Omid, who wrote the bombshell Finding Freedom biography of the couple, also claimed the Sussexes would not have used the name Lilibet unless the Queen had supported the move. 

Harry, who together with wife Meghan announced they were expecting a girl during their interview with Oprah in March, took things a step further mere hours after his rebuttal of the report, threatening the BBC with legal action through law firm Schillings.

Notice of the legal action was followed by a carefully-worded statement that raised more questions than answers over whether the Queen did give permission or if the couple simply informed her of their intentions in a fait accompli. 

The statement insisted that the BBC report was wholly wrong and read: 'The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called.

'During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honor. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.'
