ROYAL fans have spotted a key clue that might suggest Prince Harry's bombshell memoir is delayed after it was reported that palace aides were “quaking in their boots”.
Royal insiders were surprised to learn the memoir — expected to open new family wounds — was not on its publisher’s list of upcoming books.
Penguin Random House said previously that the as yet unnamed autobiography would be out this autumn.
Duke of Sussex Harry, 37, has been researching the book which is being ghostwritten by Pulitzer Prize-winning author JR Moehringer.
Harry has kept a lid on the contents and told only the Queen, 96, that he was working on it before it was announced last summer.
Promoting it, Prince Harry said: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.”

Archie and Lilibet now ‘valuable prey’ in US
Australian royal writer Daniela Elser warned Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left themselves open to being snapped by paparazzi than if they were in the UK.
Writing for NZ Herald, Ms Elser said: “Harry and Meghan might not be enjoying Beyonce-levels of popularity (the most recent polling shows that less than half of Americans view them favourably) but there is no end to the fascination with the nation’s very own branch of the Royal Family.
“The whole family is, in short, valuable prey for anyone who might come across the family out and about.
“What will it mean for Archie and his little sister Lilibet to grow up in a country where there is a ready market for iPhone snaps of them?
“The Sussex family might live on a seven-acre estate but the minute they set foot outside those gates, they are unprotected from the glare of lenses, both professional and amateur.”

Prince Harry and Meghan can’t keep kids ‘cooped up forever’
A royal writer has said that it is time to give the children more experience of the outside world.
The Sussexes have a very strong home compound, with sprawling acres of land, play areas and a pool.
With such amazing facilities, why would you ever want to leave?
Daniela Elser wrote on the NZ Herald website: “A huge back yard, children’s playhouse, tennis court and a pool might provide more than enough entertainment and space for little ones to play and roam safety way from the gaze of the public, and press, but the couple can’t keep Archie and Lili cooped up at home forever.”

Sussexes could turn down big invite
Royal commentator Neil Sean told his YouTube channel that Meghan and Harry are set to turn down an invite to Balmoral.
He said: “According to that good source, even the allure of Balmoral with all that wonderful air, highlands, treats, and of course spending time with the world’s most interesting woman, in my opinion, seemingly they are too busy.”
He continued: “It looks like Harry and Meghan will have to politely decline the invitation to go to Balmoral to spend some time with our gracious monarch.
“According to that source, the real reason is that as we know, Prince Harry is gearing up to release his tell-all book in the autumn.
“This could prove really tricky and thorny, couldn’t it?
“Because I’m sure that would be brought up as a topic, rightly so.
“And if of course you’re sitting opposite your grandmother and you have to explain exactly what you’re planning to do, or what you’re planning to say then it creates a very thorny situation.
“So of course, Harry and Meghan have decided that the easy way out of this is to sadly not attend.”

Fans are all saying the same thing about sweet moment Kate Middleton ‘introduces’ Prince George at Wimbledon
IT’S a well-known fact that Kate Middleton and Prince William are huge tennis fans and attend the Wimbledon finals every year without fail.
But for the first time ever, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have brought their eldest son Prince George with them to watch Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic battle it out on Centre Court.
As they arrived at the Championships this afternoon, Kate and George were filmed getting out their car and greeting members of Wimbledon staff.
As this is the eight-year-old’s first ever Wimbledon visit, Kate took the time to introduce him to each person waiting at the doors for them.
The Duchess – who is Wimbledon’s royal patron – gently placed her arm on George’s shoulder as he shook hands with a security guard.
The mum-of-three then walked towards chairman Ian Hewitt – who bowed for the future King.
Introducing her son, the Duchess said: “This is George.”
Then addressing George, she continued: “This is Ian. Ian is in charge of everything, George.”
Sharing the clip with her 12,000 followers, Twitter user Belle wrote: “The Duchess of Cambridge guiding Prince George through meeting Wimbledon staff on his first ever visit! So sweet.”
