We have now spent a long time waiting to see what is in it and, frankly, we just want to get it out of the way so everyone can move on.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>However aides are braced for the worst, particularly after Harry&#8217;s outspoken criticisms of his family and the monarchy. During the Sussexes&#8217; notorious interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, they accused the Royal Family of racism and Harry claimed Charles had &#8216;literally cut me off financially&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Harry, 38, was said to have been further upset at some of the events surrounding the Queen&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>He was dismayed after being told that Meghan, 41, was not invited to join him in flying up to Balmoral to be by his dying grandmother&#8217;s bedside. Later, he reportedly failed to accept an invitation to join his father for supper at Birkhall, his private home nearby.<\/p>\n<p>A truce appeared to be in place when William invited his brother and sister-in-law to join him and wife Kate on the walkabout in Windsor as an expression of &#8216;unity for the Queen&#8217;, but, the body language suggested the rift was far from healed.<\/p>\n<p>Penguin Random House \u2013 which also released Meghan&#8217;s children&#8217;s book The Bench \u2013 initially said that Harry&#8217;s memoirs were due out in &#8216;late 2022&#8217;. But the book was not included in a recent list of titles set to be released in the coming months, sparking speculation that it may be delayed until next year.<\/p>\n<p>It has been ghost-written by Pulitzer Prize-winning American author JR Moehringer, who previously worked on the memoirs of retired tennis star Andre Agassi.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Penguin Random House nor the Duke&#8217;s representatives responded to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;Meghan, Dad treated you like a princess your whole life, it&#8217;s not too late to make amends&#8217;: Thomas Markle &#8216;hopes to heal rift with duchess after Harry and William put differences aside at the Queen&#8217;s funeral&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>Thomas Markle is hoping to heal the rift with his daughter after Harry and William put aside their differences at the Queen&#8217;s funeral.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke of Sussex and\u00a0Prince of Wales put aside their feud for a united front to remember the monarch, and again showed that they could at least be on speaking terms as they interacted with each other in the chapel at Windsor Castle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 78-year-old\u00a0watched the service with his son Thomas Jr and was bolstered by the show of royal unity between the brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Jr \u2013 Meghan\u2019s half-brother \u2013 told the Sunday Mirror: &#8216;We both watched clips of the Queen\u2019s funeral together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was overcome with emotion at how every person spectating was honoured to be there and respectful.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Meghan directly, he added: &#8216;Dad treated you like a princess your entire life and deserves the respect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You didn\u2019t call him for his heart attacks or stroke, but it\u2019s never too late.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/09\/25\/21\/62771787-11248473-Thomas_Markle_is_hoping_to_heal_the_rift_with_his_daughter_after-a-203_1664137751938.jpg\" height=\"732\" width=\"914\"><\/p>\n<p>Thomas Markle is hoping to heal the rift with his daughter after Harry and William put aside their differences at the Queen&#8217;s funeral<\/p>\n<p>Thomas\u00a0paid tribute to\u00a0the Queen\u00a0after she passed away at Balmoral aged 96 &#8211; calling it &#8216;the end of an era&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan&#8217;s father said the devastating update was &#8216;truly a loss to the world&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thomas, who never met Her Majesty due to the fallout with his daughter before her wedding, added it &#8216;feels like we&#8217;ve all lost a member of our family&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Markle told DailyMail.com: &#8216;My heart goes out to the Royal Family and to the British people for their loss of the most-loved and admired Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Her service, grace and devotion signals the end of an era and she will always be cherished in our memories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Truly a loss to the world.&#8217; He added: &#8216;In a way it feels like we&#8217;ve all lost a member of our family.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Thomas hit out at Meghan&#8217;s claims she had &#8216;lost&#8217; him \u2013 and accused her of throwing people &#8216;under the bus&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>It came after she\u00a0appeared to say Prince Harry had spoken of a breakdown in relations with Prince Charles following his decision to move to the US.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/09\/25\/21\/62771791-11248473-The_brothers_put_aside_their_feud_for_a_united_front_to_remember-a-207_1664137752041.jpg\" height=\"610\" width=\"914\"><\/p>\n<p>The brothers put aside their feud for a united front to remember the monarch, and again showed that they could at least be on speaking terms as they interacted with each other in the chapel at Windsor Castle<\/p>\n<p>Hours after her remarks were published in The Cut magazine, however, Meghan&#8217;s unofficial spokesman Omid Scobie wrote on social media: &#8216;I understand that Prince Harry is actually referring to Meghan&#8217;s loss of her own father, and Meghan is saying she doesn&#8217;t want Harry to lose his.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Markle, who suffered a blood clot on his brain earlier this year, said: &#8216;I am still very ill and trying to recover from the stroke in May.
