So…Harry Is Reportedly Writing a New, Last-Minute Chapter to Change the Ending of His Memoir
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Looks like we won’t have to wait for a sequel memoir to find out how Prince Harry felt about the recent death of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
According to a new report from the Daily Mail’s royal columnist Richard Eden, Harry is reportedly working on a new, last-minute chapter for the memoir, which will “end on the Queen’s funeral.” Eden’s source for the tip is actually identified (which is not at all the norm for royal insider gossip/most updates about Harry’s memoir the world has gotten since it was announced) as Lord Jeffrey Archer, a royal author and former friend of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
The royal insider is apparently super worried about the effect the new chapter will have on Harry’s relationship with the rest of the royal family.
“I’m very sad,” he told the Daily Mail. “I fear for the book. I know they’re writing the chapter on the funeral, so I suppose that’s what the book will end on.”
Harry’s memoir was initially expected to be released this fall but has reportedly been pushed to 2023. The delay comes amid recent reports that Harry is “desperate” to make changes to the book in light of his father, King Charles, taking the throne.
FWIW, the only *official* word on the memoir remains the official statements released by Harry and his publisher, Penguin Random House, back when the project was announced in the summer of 2021.
Here’s how the official press release describes the book:
“In an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential figures of our time, Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him. Covering his lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the front line of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, one that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous, and uplifting human story.”
And here’s what Harry had to say about it at the time:
“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. 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.”
