Prince Harry 'not worried' about losing royal titles as new book set to 'damage monarchy'
Prince Harry is not "worried" about his royal titles as he is set to publish a literary memoir next year, promising to be an "accurate and wholly truthful" account of his life.
Prince Harry will cover his lifetime in the public eye, including his time in the military, marriage, and fatherhood. The Duke of Sussex said the memoir, to be published by Penguin Random House, will be written "not as the prince" he was, but as the man he has "become". Royal expert Robert Jobson has predicted the book will "impact" the Royal Family when published on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Speaking to Good Morning America, Mr Jobson said: "I think as night follows day this was going to happen. As soon as he went and lived in the states, I think a tell-all book was expected.
"I didn't expect it to be coming out in the same year the Queen has been on the throne for 70 years.
"A time when obviously there is a huge rift with the Royal Family because I can't see any feuds or rifts being healed while you're writing your own memoirs."
He added: "It has happened before, Edward VIII, when he was Duke of Windsor, wrote his memoirs just before the coronation and that cause a sensation.
"I have no doubt that this will be a huge hit in terms of sales.
"I would love to read his perspective but I think in terms of damage to the monarchy it’s certainly going to have an impact."
Mr Jobson continued: "I don't see this is a man who is worried about being a Prince, being a Duke, worried about what's going on inside Windsor Castle.
"The reality is he's his own man and he wants to tell his own story.
"I think it's going to be a very interesting read because he's had a rollercoaster ride through his life but the problem you've got is when you're writing a memoir like this things can be interpreted one way or another."
The book is expected to be released in late 2022 and will be published in print and digital formats in the US by Random House and in Canada by Random House Canada.
It will be published in the UK by Transworld, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
