Zara and Mike posed for a photo (Media-Mode / SplashNews.com)Harry has already thrown various grenades at various family members including blasting his father for not hugging him as a child, describing Camilla as a 'wicked step-mother, and branding his brother William his 'arch nemesis'.
In an emotional interview on the book, which is set to air on ITV tonight, Harry says despite his criticisms, he does still believes in the monarchy and in one clip admits he doesn't know yet if he will attend his father's coronation.
In a clip from Harry: The Interview, which will air at 9pm on Sunday, Harry speaks about being unable to show any emotion when meeting mourners following the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
He also admits to feeling “some guilt” when walking among the gathered crowds outside Kensington Palace, saying the only time he cried was at his mother’s burial.

The royal was a member of the Olympic medal-winning Team GB (Media-Mode / SplashNews.com)He tells presenter Tom Bradby: “Everyone knows where they were and what they were doing the night my mother died.
“I cried once, at the burial, and you know I go into detail about how strange it was and how actually there was some guilt that I felt, and I think William felt as well, by walking around the outside of Kensington Palace.”
Harry describes feeling the mourners’ tears on his hands when he shook them.
“There were 50,000 bouquets of flowers to our mother and there we were shaking people’s hands, smiling,” he says.

And the wet hands that we were shaking, we couldn’t understand why their hands were wet, but it was all the tears that they were wiping away.
“Everyone thought and felt like they knew our mum, and the two closest people to her, the two most loved people by her, were unable to show any emotion in that moment.”
The interview is the first of four broadcast appearances over the coming days, with Harry also speaking to Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes on CBS News on Sunday night, Michael Strahan of Good Morning America on Monday and Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on CBS on Wednesday morning UK time.
Last month, Mike Tindall awkwardly dodged questions about Prince Harry when appearing on podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.
Mike was quizzed on his Christmas 2022 plans and admitted: "There's been a lot of change."
His co-star, fellow former rugby player James Haskell asked him: "King's speech?", referring to Charles delivering his first Christmas message.
"There will be a lot of firsts so, yes go and watch it," replied Mike.
A giggling James then asked him: "It is going to be pin the tail on Harry, like running him around and trying to... ? Smash the pinata?"
A video of the exchange saw Mike look unimpressed with the question as he swiftly turned the conversation back to his I'm A Celebrity stint.
