A new book about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will deliver more "exclusive revelations" in a "new chapter of royal life", according to the couple's biographer.
Omid Scobie co-wrote Finding Freedom which made explosive claims both in its 2020 first edition and in an updated version which came out last year.
The 400-page book included allegations the Queen was pleased Meghan had not returned for Prince Philip's funeral and Prince William was furious with the infamous Oprah interview in which the couple said racism drove them from the Royal Family.
Scobie's as-yet-untitled follow up is set to be released next year and it is thought it will counter claims made in Tom Bower's explosive rival biography, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.

Revenge was written with the help of Meghan’s estranged father Thomas and repeats a slew of mostly previously reported allegations, including that the Duchess once made Kate Middleton cry .
London-based former showbiz journalist Scobie, 41, spoke to friends of the Duke and Duchess with Meghan's blessing for Finding Freedom, which also carried details of luxury holidays and Markle's fondness for sweets.
It is not known whether he will be granted the same access for his second effort but the new book will focus "on a new chapter of the royal story and feature unique insight, deep access, and exclusive revelations".

Meghan and Harry were last seen in the UK during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations and have settled in the US after stepping down from royal duties in 2020.
The Sussexes came to the UK for the festivities last month but only made one public appearance - at a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.
Bower claims the couple wanted more prominent seats at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations but were forced to back down on the Queen's orders..

Bower claims the Sussexes were not happy about their allocated seats in St Paul's and tried to sit closer to the more senior members of the family.
Speaking on an upcoming episode of the Mirror's Pod Save the Queen podcast, Mr Bower claimed: "I was told, unfortunately too late for the book, they were meant to turn up at Wellington Barracks to get on the coach which was set up for the minor royals to go to St Paul's for the Jubilee service.
"They arrived deliberately late so the bus had gone and they could make a grand entrance from a car so they could be seen on the steps, which Netflix obviously needed.
"And then as they walked down the aisle, they get to the seats in the row they are assigned and I'm told they then asked six other people sitting this side of the aisle could they move down so they could sit on the aisle itself.
"And the usher apparently said to them 'you can't, you're sitting in seats eight or nine' or whatever it was and Harry said 'why?'
"And the usher said 'that's what your grandmother ordered'. I'm told that from a military man."
It comes as Prince Harry will also release his own "first-hand and wholly truthful" ghostwritten memoir this year while Meghan's half-sister Samantha has started an Instagram account with the handle ‘truthwins’.
It was reported this week that Harry's book could be out by Christmas and will also counter claims made in Revenge.
