A royal biographer claimed the Duke of Sussex will find it hard to attend the celebrations to honour the monarch in June

Prince Harry could decide not to attend the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations due to tensions surrounding his tell-all memoir which is due to be published in the autumn, a royal expert has warned.

Royal biographer, Tom Bower, has highlighted that Harry will face the "ultimate dilemma" over whether to visit the Queen to mark the monarch’s 70 years on the throne.


The royal expert told Closer: "I think Harry won’t come back because he knows he cannot face his family, and be pleasant with them, knowing what he’s written about them in that book."

There are fears Harry will delve further into his troubled relationship with his father Charles, write about his rift with brother Prince William, deliver his thoughts on stepmother Camilla or even name the royal he and Meghan accused of making racist remarks about their son.

"That book will have a lot of casualties and cause a lot of hurt. It will really deliver," Mr Bower said.

Harry, meanwhile, is pursuing a High Court claim against the Home Office over a decision not to allow him to pay for police protection for himself and his family while in the UK.

The Queen has only just experienced a year of great sorrow.

Amid the pandemic, her beloved husband of 73 years the Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99 in April 2021.

Major celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee are set for June, with the nation set to honour the monarch on a special four-day bank holiday weekend.
