Prince Harry's shock memoir announcement has been picked over by ITV's royal team in the latest episode of Royal Rota. ITV News Royal Editor Chris and the podcast's producer Lizzie Robinson warned that the Royal Family faced yet another "very difficult" and "one-sided" account from the Duke of Sussex. Ms Robinson likened Harry's media outings such as the Oprah Winfrey interview and more recently his book deal as a "tsunami" facing the Royal Family.

       Mr Ship said: "It is a one-sided account again though isn't it?

       "Because the thing with the Royal Family they themselves don't write books.

       "They themselves don't do interviews about what has happened within families dynamics.

       "It makes this a very difficult one-sided story yet again, " he continued.

       "Because they don't get to have their say about how they felt about how Harry and Meghan left.

       "How they felt Harry and Meghan were to work with within the Royal Family.

       "So that is obviously one of the problems."

       Mr Ship added that the announcement from the Duke of Sussex seemed to have taken all the other royal household totally by surprise.

       He said: "We know people who were with Palace-types when it was announced and they had absolutely no idea.

       "They had no forewarning that Harry was going to write a bunch of memoirs."

       Ms Robinson said there was going to be "fear and concern" of what Harry may reveal in the book.

       She said: "We are not going to see a constant back and forth, so it is very one-sided, it has been a bit of a tsunami."
