One of the most talked-about figures in the world, Prince Harry, has revealed he is publishing an intimate memoir next year about his unique, extraordinary and eventful life. 

The ‘definitive’ memoir will be the first time Prince Harry has written extensively about his life so far and will detail his childhood, the losses he experienced – most notably, his mother Princess Diana in a tragic accident in 1997- growing up in front of the public eye, his time in the armed forces serving in Afghanistan, meeting his wife Meghan Markle and becoming a father to Archie and Lili. 

The book will no doubt also include the father-of-two’s version of events regarding the couple’s decision to step back as senior working members of the royal family and become financially independent from the monarchy in 2020.

“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” the Duke of Sussex explained last week. 

“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.

“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far, and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful,” he added.

Prince Harry has also confirmed that he will donate proceeds from his memoir to charity. The book will be published with Penguin Random House and is set for release globally in the latter half of 2022.
