Palace aides are reportedly trying to stop the upcoming release of Prince Harry's tell-all memoir.

The book was believed to be scheduled for release before Christmas.

However, it's thought Queen Elizabeth's death has pushed back the book's launch, with reports that some of the more controversial elements of the tell-all memoir are now being revised.

But now the Daily Mail claims staff are said to be so deeply concerned over the book's contents, they have been having discussions over whether they can prevent its publication.

It's reportedly part of a US-style strategy aimed at ensuring King Charles' first 100 days on the throne are problem-free.

"The question inside the Palace is: 'Can the book be stopped?'," a friend of the king is said to have told the Daily Mail.

"It may be that even Harry can't stop it at this stage but the feeling at the very top is that there's no good that can come of airing grievances in public."

In July, it was reported the Duke of Sussex had "blindsided" senior royals with the revelation he will release an "intimate and heartbreaking" biography next year, which will supposedly cover his entire life, including the series of scandalous Megxit events.

He said he was not writing the book "as the prince I was born as, but as the man I have become".

"I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story - the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned - I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think," Harry said.
