Prince Harry received the shocking news as a palace insider revealed the truth behind his bombshell memoir, Spare.
For the unversed, the Duke of Sussex claimed in his explosive book that he has unveiled the secrets of the royal family.
However, a palace insider shared with the royal author Robert Hardman that Harry's provided information was not accurate.
As reported by OK! Magazine, Robert Hardman penned the insider's remarks in the updated version of his book, Charles III: New King. New Court.
The adviser told the royal expert, "Here you have the infelicitous situation where the King's son is suing the King's ministers in the King's courts. That is pulling the King in three directions."
"You also have the situation where the King's son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong."
An insider said, "The adviser points, by way of example, to the section of Spare in which his account of being told of the Queen Mother's death was a fabrication."
The Duke of Sussex described the death of Queen Marry, writing, "Days later, at Eton, while studying, I took the call. I wish I could remember whose voice was at the other end; a courtier, I believe.'"
"I recall that it was just before Easter, the weather bright and warm, light slanting through my window, filled with vivid colors. 'Your Royal Highness, the Queen Mother has died.'"
But, an insider shared that Harry was with his father, King Charles and brother Prince William, in Switzerland.
The source said, "Harry was actually in Switzerland, skiing with his father and brother, when all three received the news."
"So imagine the situation if the Prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation. Or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate. There would be serious legal jeopardy."
