Most read in Royal
Harry has promised to examine the “highs and lows” of his extraordinary life as royal, which culminated in his bitter “Megxit” split from the Royal Family.
In a statement from his £11million mansion in Montecito, California, Harry, 36, said: “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 first-hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
Publishers have vowed that the book is written with ''raw, unflinching honesty'' as well as being ''full of insight, revelation, self-
examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.''
Publisher Penguin Random House's also added: ''Spare takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror.
''As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.''
Speaking on the release of Spare, Global CEO of Penguin Random House Markus Dohle added: ''Penguin Random House is honoured to be publishing Prince Harry’s candid and emotionally powerful story for readers everywhere.
''He shares a remarkably moving personal journey from trauma to healing, one that speaks to the power of love and will inspire and encourage millions of people around the world.”
Prince Harry will be donating some of the proceeds of his book.
The Duke of Sussex has already donated $1,500,000 to Sentebale - an organisation he founded with Prince Seeiso in their mothers’ legacies, supporting vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS.
As well as donating £300,000 to the non-profit organisation WellChild which he has been Royal patron of for fifteen years - supporting children and young people with complex health needs to be cared for at home
