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.
Harry will be donating the proceeds to charity, it is said.
Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House, said, “All of us at Penguin Random House are thrilled to publish Prince Harry’s literary memoir and have him join the world-renowned leaders, icons, and change-makers we have been privileged to publish over the years.
“Prince Harry has harnessed his extraordinary life experience as a prince, a soldier, and a knowledgeable advocate for social issues, establishing himself as a global leader recognized for his courage and openness.
“It is for that reason we’re excited to publish his honest and moving story.”
