IN an emotional excerpt from Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, Spare, the royal reveals the devastating moment he learnt of Princess Diana's death and claims King Charles "did not hug" him.
In the book, Harry writes he and Prince William were in their room wearing PJs when the then Prince Charles bid them goodnight, telling them to "be good" and not stay up too late.
The pair of young royals proceeded to sneak out, meeting with the Queen's piper, who let them try to play his bagpipes.
Later that evening, Charles sat on the end of Harry's bed and told him "my dear son, mum has had a car accident."
Prince Harry claims his father did not hug him when delivering the life-changing news and that he later "felt like a politician" as he met with mourning Brits.

Prince Harry has recently launched an array of attacks on the royal family.
Within recent months, Prince Harry has slammed the royals during his Netflix series as well as his soon to be published memoir.
Despite his actions, Prince Harry has claimed that he does wish to attend his father's coronation, however he has stated "the ball is in their court".
So, should Harry and Meghan attend Charles' coronation?
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has told how he believes Harry is using his book to “assassinate” his brother’s character.
He told The Sun: “If these excerpts are anything to go by it seems this book is a nuclear missile sent for the palace.
“There is no doubt that Harry is attempting a character assassination at his brother.
“In the Netflix show we heard how William was screaming at him in Sandringham – now we have claims of an actual assault.
“It seems to many that the Sussexes are jealous of the Prince and Princess of Wales popularity and Harry is trying to injure William's reputation because of this.
“It's hypocritical – he says he wants his brother and father back but with these allegations does he really think it will lead to a reconciliation?
“There is no going back from here. These allegations in the book are the final nail in the coffin for their relationship.”
Harry has claimed his brother and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear his notorious Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party, according to a leaked excerpt from his book.
In a segment of the book, seen by Page Six, Harry describes selecting the outfit, saying it was a choice between two costumes – a pilot uniform or a Nazi one.
“I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said,” Harry writes, adding that when he went home and put it on for them. “They both howled. Worse than Willy’s leotard outfit! Way more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point.”
Harry’s outfit caused widespread outcry at the time, forcing Clarence House to quickly issue a written statement from the prince apologising for any offence, and there were indications that he received a dressing down from his father King Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales.
In the statement, Harry said he was "very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone".
Princess Diana notably discussed Charles' affairs in her 1995 Panorama interview, in which she said: "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
But Harry blasted the statement as "wrong" in his memoir, claiming: "My mother’s sentence that there were three people in her marriage was legendary but her calculations were wrong.
"William and I were left out of the equation."
He said he was too young to suspect his father's affair, but noted "the lack of stability, absence of love and affection in our home."
Prince Harry has claimed that he and Prince William were "dissuaded" from asking for an investigation into his mother's death after asking multiple questions.
The Duke of Sussex wrote: "Especially the summary conclusion, that our mother's driver was drunk and, as a result, that was the only cause of the accident. It was simplistic and absurd.
"Even if the man had been drinking, even if he had been drunk, he wouldn't have had any problem driving through such a short tunnel. Unless paparazzi were following him and dazzled him.
"Why had those paparazzi got off lightly? Why weren't they in prison? Who had sent them? And why weren't those people in jail either? What other reason could there be apart from corruption and cover-ups being the order of the day?
"We agreed on all those questions, and also what we should do next. We would issue a statement, asking jointly for the investigation to be reopened. We might call a press conference. Those who decided dissuaded us."
Prince Harry claims he killed 25 people in his memoir whilst serving in Afghanistan.
The Duke spent 10 years in the Army, including two frontline tours to Afghanistan.
Writing in his autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex says he is neither proud nor ashamed of "taking human lives" as it was simply his job as a solider.
In an explosive section of his biography 'Spare', the Duke of Sussex relived his teenage years.
He admitted he took "a line" of the Class A drug during a hunting weekend and had since "consumed some more".
The Duke wrote: "Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time.
"At someone's house, during a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and since then I had consumed some more.
"It wasn't very fun, and it didn't make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective."
Prince Harry has shockingly accused Camilla of leaking stories to the press and claims she launched a campaign to marry Charles to get the crown.
In an explosive section of his biography 'Spare' the Duke of Sussex tells of the King and Queen Consort’s relationship – and how he and William begged their father not to marry her.
In another bombshell, he accuses Camilla of leaking details of her conversation with William to the press.
He says the information could only have come from the communications person that Camilla convinced his dad to hire.
Following the death of his mother, Prince Harry claimed to seek help from a woman who "claimed to have powers".
In the Prince's memoir he said the woman relayed a message to him from beyond the grave.
According to The Guardian, Harry said the woman told him: "You're living the life she couldn't.
"You’re living the life she wanted for you."
Online searches for ‘Order Spare’ exploded 226% worldwide today, after excerpts of Prince Harry's upcoming book Spare were released.
A spokesperson for CelebTattler commented on the findings explaining: "Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from working Royal life, they have been incredibly selective about the ways in which they share personal information, from a sit down interview with TV magnate Oprah Winfrey or a Netflix series.
"However, these findings highlight that this autobiography from Prince Harry is set to be one of the most highly anticipated projects from the couple with people from all around the world seeking to buy a copy for themselves.
"It will be interesting to see how much more the Prince shares in the book about his departure as a working royal."
Harry alleges William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor" in an extract of the book reported by the Guardian.
Harry claims: "It all happened so fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
"I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
He says William told him to hit him back but he refused, and so his brother left "looking regretful, and apologised".
Prince Harry's bombshell book accidentally went on sale early in Spain – and we got our hands on one of the first copies.
But why was the book released days before it was supposed to?
A spokesperson for the Spanish publisher, Barcelona-based Plaza y Janes Editores said: "A very clear launch protocol was established and communicated to all customers so that the book would not be marketed before that date.
"Everything points to the fact that some customers have breached their commitment to the publisher and have put the book on sale before the agreed date."
The Sun can reveal Harry says he and his brother were aware of Camilla as the "other woman" in his memoir set for release in just days.
Incredibly, he compared seeing her for the first time to avoiding pain while getting an injection.
He writes: "This is nothing. Close your eyes and you won't even feel it."
Revealing the private meeting, the prince claims Camilla appeared "bored", saying it was "pure formality" as he was not the heir or a major obstacle.
Also in the book, Harry alleges he pondered whether Camilla would one day be his "wicked stepmother".
In a leaked extract from Prince Harry’s explosive new memoir, the runaway royal outlines an alleged altercation between him and his older brother William.
According to the extract, released by The Guardian, the two brothers clashed after Prince Willaim voiced his frustrations with Meghan Markle.
Harry reportedly told a “piping hot” William: “Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this.”
Harry then allegedly writes: “He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast.
“He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me.
“I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
In an excerpt from his explosive new memoir, Prince Harry claims his brother grabbed him by the neck, and "knocked" him to the ground, breaking a dog bowl in the process.
But fans aren't convinced this is true, after spotting an image of the alleged dog bowl.
The bowl in question is a stainless steel item, something that usually can't be broken when someone lands on it.
One person wrote on Twitter: "Can someone tell me how a stainless dog bowl got smashed in Harry’s cottage?
"If anything his head would have took a real bang on the cupboard."
Another said: "The dog bowls are stainless steel. I will just leave that there."

“I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said,” Harry writes, adding that when he went home and put it on for them.
