In a fresh bid to secure privacy for himself and his family, Prince Harry has announced this week that he is publishing his ‘intimate and heartfelt’ memoirs at the age of 36. The book – ghost-written by JR Moehringer, another of those dastardly journalists – will be published by Penguin Random House late next year and is set to provide ‘the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.’
The official press release includes this gem from the exiled royal: ‘Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, said: ‘I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.’ Might be worth sharing that memo to Penguin’s publicists then. Noting that he has ‘worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively’, the Duke of Sussex declares his hopes that the book will ‘show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.’
