Prince Harry vows to tell all about 'the man he became' in explosive book
The Duke of Sussex announced Monday that he will publish his memoir in late 2022. A book he has been writing in the greatest secrecy for nearly a year and in which he should spare no one. Especially not his very royal family.
He is not yet 40 years old but has already lived several lifetimes. Prince, soldier and now father of a family. Prince Harry has decided to tell his story in a book that his publisher Penguin Random House calls "intimate and heartfelt". In his memoir to be released in late 2022, The Duke of Sussex "will share for the very first time the compelling tale of the experiences, adventures, losses and life lessons that have helped make him what he is." And will provide "an honest and compelling personal portrait, which will show readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story."
An "exact and entirely true" account of his life
Harry claims to "write this not as a prince but as the man he has become". He said he was "extremely grateful" and "excited" that the audience could "read a direct account of his life that is accurate and entirely true." So here he is, swearing to tell the whole truth again, nothing but the truth as he had already faced Oprah Winfrey in March. With the devastating consequences that we know, evoking the racism of the royal family before the birth of Archie or even the suicidal thoughts of Meghan.
Page Six, the first to reveal the information, already calls it "the most explosive book of the decade." And compare the Queen of England's grandson to another famous Harry, Harry Potter. "He will open the chamber of secrets by revealing everything about his life, Meghan Markle and the royal family," jokes The New York Post.
Except that on the Buckingham side, it is rumored that we are laughing rather yellow. Her Majesty's services declined to comment, but a source close to the palace opened up to the Daily Mail. Harry and Meghan "have spent the past 18 months doing everything they promised the Queen not to do - make money using their former life and being a member of the Royal Family. C 'is sadly predictable, unfortunately, "she breathes.

The British press reports that no one among the Windsors was aware of the upcoming release of this book, on which the prince has been working for almost a year with the help of journalist JR Moehringer - already author of the memoirs of tennis player Andre Agassi .
A $ 20 million contract
By becoming the narrator of his life again, the Duke of Sussex is giving the tabloids a nice thumbs up with whom he has been at open war for years. In the aftermath of the announcement on Tuesday, each of the publications was making their own assumptions about the content of the upcoming book. Some already imagine him evoking the shock of the death of his mother Diana, his tensions with his father Charles and his brother William or his love at first sight with the American actress Meghan Markle. The latter has already been recounted in detail in Harry and Meghan, Free, a biography published last year. The Sussexes have always claimed not to have participated in this project.
The couple's headlong flight to the United States should also be at the heart of the book which will retrace the 37 years of Prince Harry's life. As liberating as it is, this quest for the truth will also allow Archi and Lilibet's father to cash a nice check. Page Six reports that the contract with Penguin Random House is worth $ 20 million. History does not say whether part or all of this sum will be donated to associations dear to her heart. Already present on Netflix and Spotify, Meghan and Harry set out to conquer the world of publishing. Le Banc, the Duchess's children's book based on the relationship of her husband and their son published in the same publishing house, quickly became a bestseller. To live happily, the Sussexes don't live in hiding but pretty busy.
