Prince Harry’s memoirs are set to hit bookshelves soon. But the release has been delayed. The reason for this is said to be Prince Harry’s panic.
Royal fans are eagerly awaiting Prince Harry’s memoir, 37, but it seems the release date has been delayed. The reason for this is said to be the prince himself, who keeps delaying the release with constant editing.
Prince Harry: That’s why he wants to publish a book
Harry’s memoirs will be published by Penguin Random House and will focus on the prince’s “experiences, adventures, losses and life lessons”. “I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and I hope that by telling my story — the ups and downs, the mistakes and the lessons I’ve learned — I can help to show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think,” the 37-year-old announced last year.
The publication scares him greatly
The book is expected to be published in autumn, but an exact date is not known. As reported by The Sun, the manuscript, which is said to have been written by a ghost writer, was completed earlier this summer. It had also gone through all the legal procedures.
A source now tells Heat magazine that Prince Harry is struggling with the pressure of exactly what the book should contain. “Every passage is revised over and over again. Harry keeps coming up with new things to include and then he suddenly panics because he wants to cut certain anecdotes.”
The prince is concerned that the publication could lead to a new spat with the royals. Wife Meghan, 40, in turn encourages him to “tell the truth and not hide what really happened”. This means that Harry is becoming more and more conflicted and the publication date of the book is being pushed back.
