The Duke and Duchess of Sussex say they were not interviewed for the book and did not contribute to the tale by authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, which provides a high level of personal detail and a dramatic account of the events leading up to the Sussexes' departure from royal life.
But Scobie said today that while they did not interview the couple, 'many' friends gave them insights - providing 'a lens to the couple through their friends and their circle of aides'.
Palace insiders have described the book as 'score settling' after Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family for a life in Los Angeles - after suddenly announcing their intentions in January in a move that left The Queen 'hurt'.
The book also offers new insights into Harry's falling out with William and how the couple felt 'thrown under the bus', after the disagreements started started when the Prince's older brother referred to Meghan as 'this girl' and voiced concerns that he might be rushing the romance.
The authors say Harry 'felt people working with his brother had put things out there to make William look good, even if it meant throwing Harry under the bus'.
Excerpts from the book have already revealed many inside details about the couple's departure from the Royal Family, including how the couple considered driving straight to confront the 'devastated' Queen about Megxit after returning from Canada in January.
Sources close to the couple also claim in the book that royal aides feared Meghan and Harry's popularity was eclipsing that of the Royal Family itself - and says the couple were jealous of William and Kate getting the best roles and 'didn't feel supported' by the royals.
