NEWS of Prince Harry's tell-all memoirs are creating panic among the royal family as Meghan's husband dubbed the book "wholly truthful".
A source told the Mirror his announcement last night triggered a “tsunami of fear” with Buckingham Palace terrified of more explosive claims about Harry and Meghan's treatment.
The memoir will detail his life as a member of the Royal Family, his relationship with wife Meghan Markle, Megxit and raising his children.
In a statement, the duke, 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 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 firsthand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful."

ECO-WARRIOR
Harry’s alleged use of the SUV comes despite him speaking out against the dangers of climate change in the past.
Earlier this year, the Duke warned the issue must be tackled “at the source” and said it was “pretty depressing” that the US was “either on fire or underwater”.
He told 'The Me You Can't See: A Path Forward' podcast that the world needed a “reckoning moment” after the pandemic, stressing that he believed climate change was one of the most two pressing issues in the world alongside mental health.
In 2019, he told a group of youngsters at the SSE Arena in Wembley to “wake up” and act “on the damaging impact our ways of living are having on the world”.
But it was reported that the Duke hired a private helicopter just two days before the event, with charity Friends of the Earth urging him to “consider less carbon-intensive modes of travel”. Meg and Harry also sparked claims of hypocrisy in 2019 when seen boarding a £20,000 private jet to stay in Elton John’s French villa that same year.

ECO-WARRIOR PRINCE HARRY ‘USING ULTRA-EXCLUSIVE VIP AIRPORT SERVICE & GAS-GUZZLING CHEVROLET’ TO JET IN STYLE
Prince Harry is using an ultra-exclusive VIP airport service which whisked him away in a gas-guzzling Chevrolet during his trip from London to LA last month, according to a report.
The Duke of Sussex – a passionate advocate for environmental causes – has reportedly been making use of The Private Suite, which is described as “the most VIP way through the airport”.
Members sign up for £3,250 a year and fork up another £2,500 per trip – but can exit the plane on their own private stairs before other passengers.
They are then picked up in a private SUV and taken to a private terminal where they can collect their luggage and move through passport control all in isolation, the Mail on Sunday reports.
On the Private Suite’s website, the company describes itself as a “private airport experience”, writing: “PS reimagines the airport experience for the seasoned and discerning traveller.”

CONTINUED: THE QUEEN PUT PRINCE HARRY ‘IN PLACE’ FOR ‘RUDE LANGUAGE’ DURING ROW OVER WIFE MEGHAN MARKLE, ROYAL SOURCE CLAIMS
Mr Scobie said the Duke swooped in to fix matters after Meghan failed to arrange a booking.
“Harry had to intervene. He called his grandmother and said, ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on, but this woman needs to make this work for my future wife.”
A royal source told the MailOnline in May: “Angela essentially said, ‘I’m very sorry, that’s not how it works.’ There’s protocol in place over these jewels.
“They’re kept under very tight lock and key. You can’t turn up and demand to have the tiara just because your hairdresser happens to be in town.”
The insider claimed Harry used “rude language” in his response, which prompted the Queen to pull him into a private meeting.
The source added: “He was put firmly in his place. He had been downright rude.”

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.”

HARRY 'MADE HIMSELF CLEAR OVER CHRISTENING'
The princes even issued a joint statement, despite the strains between them – although they did not give a speech at the ceremony.
The brothers are believed to have been speaking over text again – raising hopes for a reconciliation after the Sussexes gave an explosive interview to Oprah in March.
During the chat, they alleged a senior royal had made racist comments about their son Archie's skin colour – while Meghan claimed Kate made her cry over bridesmaids' dresses.
And tensions were doubtless inflamed after the Duke of Sussex went on to discuss his family in further interviews.

It was announced yesterday that Meghan Markle and Harry’s shocking interview with American presenter Oprah Winfrey was up for an Emmy award.
But royal commentator, Angela Levin took to Twitter to expose that the interview had been nominated before viewers had even set eyes on it.
“Now that’s interested. Putting H and M’s conversation with Oprah up for an Emmy before anyone had seen it. How does that work?” Levin said.
It comes after @Murky__Meg also took to Twitter to connect the dots. She said: “Oh wow! Deadline for Emmy nominations was 17th Feb 2021 and the interview didn’t air until 7th March.”

PRINCE HARRY ‘SCRAMBLED TO TELL HIS FAMILY ABOUT MEMOIR 'MOMENTS' BEFORE BOOK NEWS WAS ANNOUNCED – BLINDSIDING ROYALS’
PRINCE Harry scrambled to tell his family about his new memoir "moments" before it was announced – blindsiding the royals.
Harry, 36, has been secretly writing a book detailing his life as a Royal, his relationship with wife Meghan Markle, Megxit and raising his kids.
It is understood Harry scrambled to contact his family only when he knew the story was coming out – just moments before it became public. It is not known if he had warned the Queen before last night.
The duke reportedly told his family about the book in private – but only "very recently", according to a source who spoke to royal reporter Jack Royston.
A Clarence House aide told The Times: "The prince loves his children very much and remains focused on his work to ensure we have a sustainable future for the next generation, including his own children and grandchildren."

THE MEANING BEHIND MEGHAN MARKLE’S NEW ‘INSPIRATIONAL’ NETFLIX TV CHARACTER’S NAME
As part of the Sussexes’ £112million deal, Meghan will be an executive producer on the show which has the working title ‘Pearl’ – and the name has a very special meaning. It turns out that Meghan has named her main character after herself, as the name ‘Meghan’ means ‘Pearl.’
Royal fans were quick to pick up on the connection, with one saying: “I wonder if this story is about Meghan’s childhood and will be an insight into her life.”
The show has been described as a family series that centres on the adventures of a girl who is inspired by a variety of influential women.
Meghan and Harry, the founders of Archewell Productions, announced the project yesterday.
The Prince will also act as the show’s executive producer, alongside Elton John’s husband David Furnish, Carolyn Soper, and Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Liz Garbus, Amanda Rynda and Dan Cogan.

HACKINGHAM PALACE
THE Queen has stepped up defences against hackers after learning the Royal Family is a high-risk target.
Her Majesty, 95, has relished engagements via video call in lockdown and chats to grandson Harry and wife Meghan in the US.
Her cyber security experts say in a report there is now a high rather than medium risk of unauthorised access to Royal Household data.
The warning, written by Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse, is thought to refer to crooks in China and Russia.
It warns the effect of hacking would be: “Reputational damage, penalties and/or legal action against the Household or members of staff.”

MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY'S NEWBORN, LILIBET BEING 'IGNORED' BY ROYAL FAMILY
The Royal Family have been accused of risking a new "firestorm" as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's daughter, Lilibet has yet to be included in the line of succession on the families website.
Royal Expert Daniela Elser has warned the royal rift will continue and become a "firestorm" as Lilibet, who is eighth in line to the throne, has still not been added to the official family list, despite her birth six weeks ago.
Elser said: "It's simply beggars belief that this website situation has been allowed to happen given that 2021 is in strong contention to be the Queen's Annus Horribilis 2.0 for a variety of Harry and Meghan-shaped reasons."
"The fact that the Palace has failed to include Lili so far and for weeks on end after her birth carries with it quite the sting."

MEGHAN MARKLE HAD 'PEOPLE IN AMERICA' ORGANISING £112 NETFLIX DEAL BEFORE MEGXIT, ROYAL AIDE CLAIMS
Meghan Markle had people in America putting together her £112 Netflix deal before Megxit in secret plans.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed their whopping multi-million-pound-deal in September 2020 but reports show their new animated series, 'Pearl' had been in the pipeline for years.
Yesterday Page Six reported that Meghan had worked with Elton John's filmmaker husband David Furnish on the animated series while still in the UK.
But according to a royal aide, Meghan's "people in America" had been organising the deal with the streaming giant before they left the Royal Family.
Speaking to The Telegraph, they said: "A lot of it was orchestrated by Meghan’s people in America, it was a bit of a secret squirrel.”

PRINCE HARRY DESCRIBED AS A 'BALLER'
Another source described Harry as a “baller” – a slang term for someone who doesn’t mind flaunting their wealth.
The pair are close friends with Oprah Winfrey – who they gave a sensational interview to back in March – as well as Brit comedian and presenter James Corden.
George and Amal Clooney were also among the A-listers to attend Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018.
And David and Victoria Beckham, who moved to the US from Britain, were also guests – with Becks saying him and Harry “speak as friends.”

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.”
