"Two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow – and horror.
“As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling – and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is his story at last.”
Ms Maclaran, author of the book Royal Fever, was particularly damning of the description as she said: "Using Diana's death as a taster doesn't sound particularly good", and added that the Royal Family “are going to be upset by the contents”.
She said: “I think the book will be a crucial part of him creating this relatable image. To make him seem like everyone else.
"It is obviously a gamble he is willing to take. I think it's very much a gamble because I think it's bound to upset members of the Royal Family.
"First of all, even if he's not criticising them – and I think we all fully expect he will be – he is still pouring his heart out in a way that is not usually regarded as very royal, and against the Queen's mantra to always keep silent.
“Members of the Royal Family are going to be upset by the contents. I think they have to be, really.
