Prince Harry's royal relatives will struggle to trust him again after he spilled family secrets, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex turns 40 tomorrow (Sunday, September 15), far away from his friends and family with ITV's royal correspondent Chris Ship describing the relationship with his family as 'more fractured than ever'.

According to the royal expert, Harry's loose tongue in bombshell memoir Spare and on the his joint Oprah Winfrey interview with wife Meghan Markle means it is unlikely other royals will ever speak candidly with him again.

He told the Talking Royals podcast: "How can members of the Royal Family trust Harry if they have private conversations about him? There's not another book planned I don't think but would they think 'if I say this to you, are you going to write about this in a book or are you going to tell Netflix about this one or two years down the line?'

"The Royal Family won't respond to what they (Harry and Meghan) say. Never complain, never explain."

Among the allegations published in Spare include Harry's claims he was physically attacked by his brother Prince William and Princess Kate making his wife Meghan Markle cry.

In the iconic interview with Oprah Winfrey the couple also claim members of the Royal Family were having conversations about how dark their son Archie's skin would be. Harry has since denied calling the Royal Family racist.

Buckingham Palace responded by saying: "The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

The Talking Royals podcast also reflected on how much Harry's life has changed in the last 10 years since he turned 30. Presenter Lucrezia Millarini gave a two-word summary to the exiled royal's big life change.

She said it's a 'stark contrast' to how he saw in his 30th birthday.

The presenter said: "When you look back at the start contrast to how he was at 30. At 30 he was single, he was a senior working member of the Royal Family, he was fourth in line to the throne, he was due to leave the Army.

"Where we are now is so far from where we were then. He's married to Meghan, two children, he's stepped back from royal duties, handed back all his official military connections. A lot has been said in that time."
