Prince Harry to publish memoir next year

Prince Harry is publishing his memoir with Penguin Random House in 2022.

Harry says the books will be written “not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become”, and will be an “accurate and wholly truthful” account of his life.

The currently untitled book will cover his lifetime in the British Royal Family living in the public eye, including time he spent in the military, and will cover his marriage and fatherhood.

Transworld, an imprint of Penguin Random House, will print the book in the UK and described the book as “an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time”. The book will also be published by Random House in the US and Canada.

Harry will be donating the proceeds to charity.

Harry said: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. 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 first hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”

Penguin Random House, said: “All of us at Penguin Random House are thrilled to publish Prince Harry’s literary memoir and have him join the world-renowned leaders, icons, and change-makers we have been privileged to publish over the years. Prince Harry has harnessed his extraordinary life experience as a prince, a soldier, and a knowledgeable advocate for social issues, establishing himself as a global leader recognised for his courage and openness.

“It is for that reason we’re excited to publish his honest and moving story.”
