PRINCE Harry’s bombshell biography will “shake the monarchy to the core” and show how he really feels about his stepmother Camilla, a pal of the Duke has claimed.
He will dish the dirt on his relationship with the Duchess of Cornwall in his memoir, due to be released later this year.
It comes as Harry this week broke his silence after the Queen’s Camilla announcement.
The Duke of Sussex did not mention the news Camilla is set to become Queen Consort – instead paying tribute to his late mother.
Now a close friend of Harry’s has said that his silence on the matter “speaks volumes” about their relationship.
They told The Mirror: “Although tensions have eased between the two of them over the years, it was more for a show of unity than a close relationship.
“There were big problems at the start but as Harry and his brother William aged and matured, things got better and they can now co-exist as adults.
“They were never close with her and they still aren’t.”
The Duchess of Cornwall entered Harry and Prince William’s lives shortly before their mother died and the trio have gone on to endure a number of ups and downs as a family.
And its thought Harry will rip into his stepmother in his upcoming memoir.
His friend said: “He has got lots to say about it. People think he’s keeping a low profile to respect the family but it’s not that.
“He’s writing a book. He’s got a multi-million-pound book deal and he’s keeping a lot of his opinions for that. The memoir deal states that it should include personal details of personal and family arrangements.
“And it will be a really intimate take on his feelings about his family and what has gone in the breakdown of the relationship.
“If they think that he’s gone soft, then they are mistaken.
“Just wait for the book to come out because that will shake the monarchy to the core.”
Last month we revealed that charles has told aides he worries his younger son’s shock book will be an “excoriating takedown” of the Duchess of Cornwall — particularly in the early years of the couple’s romance.
A source said: “Forget the Prince Andrew saga, the main topic of discussion at Clarence House is Harry’s book — and the reputational damage it could very well do.
“There are concerns about Harry’s recollections of Camilla’s entry into the Royal Family, and how her long-running romance with Charles damaged him from a young age.
“Harry is fiercely loyal and protective of his late mother and her legacy, and didn’t approve of Camilla sweeping in as the great love of his father’s life.
“Understandably he found those early years incredibly difficult, and he might publicly blame Camilla for much of what he believes went wrong in his childhood, and the trauma the whole situation caused.
“Charles is deeply protective of Camilla. The last thing he needs — especially in a year of celebration that should be all about the Queen — is an excoriating takedown of Camilla at a time when people have finally taken her to their hearts.”
