Per a July press release, Prince Harry’s memoir will be a “definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him”—from his royal childhood and time in the military to the trauma of his mother’s death and newfound joy in becoming a husband and father. And among the accounts throughout the book are reportedly never-before-revealed truth bombs about the British royal family, the details of which, according to multiple sources, will be juicy.
“There’s a lot of new stories in there about the past that Harry has not spoken about before, about his childhood,” a source told Page Six. “There is some content in there that should make his family nervous.”
According to royal author Tom Bower, the memoir is slated to release around Easter of 2023.
According to Page Six, Prince Harry already received “at least $20 million upfront” from his publisher, Penguin Random House. That said, the entirety of the memoir’s proceeds will allegedly go directly to charity, the outlet added.
What is Prince Harry’s own take on the memoir?
Per the duke’s own words, his intent and purpose behind publishing the memoir is to demonstrate his humanity.
“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” he said in a personal statement released in July. “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.”
