‘I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become’ Prince Harry pens tell-all memoir which he says is ‘wholly truthful’

Prince Harry has penned a tell-all autobiography.

Backed by Penguin Random House, the prince will publish an “intimate and heartfelt” memoir.

The memoir will be released globally in 2022. It offers an inside look at Harry’s life in the public eye from childhood to fatherhood.

It is believed that he has been paid a $20m advance for writing the book, but the proceeds will all go to charity.

In a statement, he said: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.

“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.”

Chief Executive Markus Dohle said in a statement that Penguin Random House is “thrilled” to publish the memoir.

“Prince Harry has harnessed his extraordinary life experience as a prince, a soldier, and a knowledgeable advocate for social issues,” Dohle said. “It is for that reason we’re excited to publish his honest and moving story.”

Details on whether Harry will write the book himself are unclear. Sources say he is collaborating with a ghostwriter.

The alleged ghostwriter, J.R. Moehringer, is a novelist and former Los Angeles Times reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in April 2000.
