Release of Harry’s ‘heartfelt’ life story ‘delayed’ after it doesn’t appear on publisher’s upcoming books list
THE release of Prince Harry’s “heartfelt” life story, started in 2020, looks like it has been delayed.
Royal insiders were surprised to learn the memoir — expected to open new family wounds — was not on its publisher’s list of upcoming books.
Penguin Random House said previously that the as yet unnamed autobiography would be out this autumn.
Duke of Sussex Harry, 37, has been researching the book which is being ghostwritten by Pulitzer Prize-winning author JR Moehringer.
Harry has kept a lid on the contents and told only the Queen, 96, that he was working on it before it was announced last summer.
Promoting it, Prince Harry said: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.”

Palace aides fear it will spark more unwanted headlines, after Harry blasted his childhood and upbringing in a podcast last year.
It is believed he may target his stepmother Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 74, with whom he is known to have had a strained relationship.
He and Meghan, 40, also laid into the royals in their Oprah Winfrey interview.
A royal insider said: “If this book’s coming out this year as originally planned it should be in the publisher’s marketing and promotional list — unless they’re planning a surprise or there’s been a delay.

“Its omission has raised lots of eyebrows in royal circles.”
A spokeswoman for Transworld, part of Penguin Random House, told The Sun on Sunday: “We don’t put every book on the list so there is nothing to be extrapolated from that.”
