Prince Harry has received £17.5million of the £35million book deal which includes four books, one to be published later this year. The Duke of Sussex said the memoir, to be published by Penguin Random House, will be written “not as the prince” he was, but as the man, he has “become”. But the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor Richard Eden claimed a new chapter will give the royal a chance to respond to stories he was “offended” at the Queen’s funeral.

Speaking to Palace Confidential, Mr Eden said: “Jeffrey Archer, well-connected in the published world is saying that Harry is writing a new chapter completely.

“We’ve had all these stories about whether the book will be delayed or whether there will be changes.

“From what he was saying, it will be dealt with by a new chapter that will be on the Queen’s funeral and the events surrounding it.

“It will give him a chance to address those stories about him being offended by not being able to wear his uniform and then not having the ER letters on his epaulettes.

“This could be a way that all the tenses are correct, referring to the Queen in the past and then having that new chapter could be a quite elegant way to do with it.

“It would suggest that the book is being delayed so it may come out next spring rather than next month as we’ve been led to believe.”

Meanwhile, royal expert Robert Jobson has told Harry that he must “own every word” in the book.

Speaking to the Australian morning show Sunrise, Mr Jobson said: “As it’s an autobiography and we know it’s been penned by somebody else but the fact is he’s got to own every word, hasn’t he?

“The narrative whatever way you look at it, if people disagree then you’ve got a problem because it’s going to be down as the narrative for William and his father.

“He’s not even done a Diana, Her True Story because she could say it was written by Andrew Morton. This was written by him.

“I don’t know if he can dampen it down because if does then the amount of money he’s been paid the publishers might turn around and say, we don’t want to pay you the rest.”

Despite a turbulent relationship over the past few years, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and other members of the royal family have been united in grief after the Queen’s death.

This has prompted questions over the possibility of a reconciliation between Harry, his brother the Prince of Wales, and their father King Charles III.

Although the duke has stepped back from royal duties and was not permitted to wear uniform on Monday, he took his place alongside William during their late grandmother’s state funeral.

Harry and Meghan also joined the group of royals who made their way to Windsor and took part in the committal service and interment, which will see the Queen laid to rest alongside the brothers’ grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh.
