Prince Harry 's publisher is refusing to give any details about his upcoming tell-all book, including if the release date has been pushed back following the Queen 's death.
Harry has been working on the “intimate and heartfelt memoir" since 2020 with the help of ghostwriter JR Moehringer – a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
Insiders claim the Duke of Sussex is "insisting" the book is still released this year, despite the upheaval of his father becoming King and the death of his grandmother.
The as yet untitled book had initially been pencilled in for an autumn 2022 release date.
Publicity Director Patsy Irwin for p ublishers Transworld, part of Penguin Random House, told the Mirror: "We have no comment to make at the moment."

However, royal insiders were apparently surprised that the memoir does not feature on a list of publisher Penguin Random House's upcoming books.
Tom Bower, whose biography of Meghan Markle was released this year, claims the Duke is however "insisting" it gets released this year.
He told GB news: "I am told tonight that Harry is insisting that his book is published in November.
"Apparently the publishers are not too certain, but he says if they don't publish it will be a breach of contract. That's what I'm told.
"It's extraordinary. But on the other hand it fits the bill, because Harry and Meghan's finances depend entirely on the book and on Netflix."
However the Duke has since denied this.
Publishing sources told the Mail the book could be pushed back to 2023 to allow Prince Harry to write more chapters on the death of the Queen.
It is thought the contents of the book could rock the new monarch and former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has claimed 73-year-old Charles' aides are "absolutely dreading" the release of the book.
Writing for the New York Times, Piers said: "One of Charles’ aides told me several months ago that the palace is absolutely dreading the book, fearing it will drip with poisonous new allegations and target his wife, Camilla, as some kind of revenge for her role in the break-up of Harry’s parents’ marriage.
"That conversation, of course, was before the Queen died and when Charles was just Prince of Wales."
