Penguin Random House announced on Monday that Harry, who stepped away from royal duties last year, is writing an “intimate and heartfelt memoir” that will cover his “lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day.”
In the book, Prince William’s younger brother will share “the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.” Harry’s memoir is tentatively scheduled to be released in late 2022.

Harry added, “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.”
