Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik's former bodyguard has been forced to delay the publication of his tell-all book over fears for the safety of the royal family.
Jesper Lundorf was due to release 'In her Majesty's Secret Service' on October 22, but publishers have now been ordered by the Danish Security Intelligence Services (PET) to push back releasing it until spring 2008.
The agency believe much of the tome's sensational material lacks credibility, and are insisting Aschehoug Publishing House check over all the claims before it hits the book shelves.
A PET spokesperson said: "We have held a number of meetings with the publishers where we expressed our concerns regarding the book."
'In her Majesty's Secret Service' is thought to contain extremely sensitive information not only about Frederik and the rest of the Danish royal family, but also concerning several high profile politicians.
Jeppe Markers, head of Aschehoug's editorial department, told Denmark's Copenhagen Post newspaper: "PET gave us their opinion and we listened to it.
"That has caused us to give the manuscript an extra once-over security check, which takes time to do thoroughly."
