PRINCE Harry could face questions from fans over his uncle Andrew when promoting his upcoming memoir, it’s feared.
The Duke of Sussex is due to release his much-anticipated autobiography – to the Queen’s alleged “exasperation” – later this year.
The explosive book, for which Harry was paid £14.7million, is already causing alarm within the family, and the monarch has reportedly teed up her legal team ahead of its publication.
And an insider at Sunshine Sachs, which represents both Meghan and Harry, says many are “concerned” about questions the duke may face as he publicises the book.
The Telegraph reports that Andrew’s out of court settlement with Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre could “interfere with media promotion” around the launch.
There are also fears Harry may face media questions about “uncle Andrew”.
The book is already hugely controversial.

Harry has faced criticism for publishing the tome in his grandmother’s Platinum Jubilee year.
Her Majesty reportedly fears further “attacks” on the monarchy after the bombshell Oprah interview this time last year, and has instructed her lawyers.
Meanwhile, there’s a suggestion that Harry could reportedly go into detail on his relationship with stepmother Camilla.
The duke is not known to be close to Andrew, although he is firm friends with Eugenie, who reportedly introduced him to Meghan.
The pair attended the Super Bowl together last month – meaning that Eugenie is likely the first royal to have met Lilibet.
Harry has also chosen to stay at Frogmore Cottage with Eugenie, husband Jack Brooksbank and their son August during his two returns to the UK since Megxit.
It had been hoped he’d fly back again with his family for the Jubilee celebrations.
However, it now seems unlikely as Harry takes on the UK Government in court after being told he’d no longer get the “same degree” of security when visiting from the US.
The prince offered to pay for police protection himself, and says without it, he wouldn’t feel safe bringing his family to Britain from Montecito.
But Tom Bower, who is currently writing a biography of Meghan, told Closer the duke may not have returned, even without the drama.
Mr Bower says he faces the “ultimate dilemma” because of his book.
“I think Harry won’t come back because he knows he cannot face his family, and be pleasant with them, knowing what he’s written about them in that book,” he said.
“That book will have a lot of casualties and cause a lot of hurt.
“It will really deliver, as Harry knows it has to, to justify the money he’s been paid to do it.
“How can Harry come back and pretend it’s all fine? The worst of what he will say is yet to come.”
