Just read that Boris is going to be following in Prince Harry’s footsteps and doing a memoir…That should be an interesting read! 😂

There must be less interest than you think.

People in public office like this should not be allowed to profit from it. And don't they sign the Official Secrets Act or similar? How are they allowed to blab details of everything to everyone?

Now unlike the Harry book, I think this could be a great read.

It will be a work of fiction.

He should be writing it from prison where he belongs. As we have abolished the death penalty.

Talking this seriously, Prince Harry is obviously emotional traumatised by his upbringing. And has written a very emotionally honest book. I believe as part of his therapy journey (and of course a bit of cash).

But i reckon Boris is equally damaged. His childhood sounded pretty fucked up - although in a different way. There is no way that his biography would be in any honest in any way - emotionally or factually. And just totally written for cash and to put his narrative out there.

Also PH's book was written by a star ghost-writer. Boris will do his own in grandiose and verbose tones.

What is a ghost writer

I'll read it if he settles once and for all how many kids he actually has.

Ghost writer is the actual author of an autobiography.

They take the stories and memories of the person and write it in a much more engaging way than they ever could. Prince Harry's ghost writer also wrote Andre Agassi's - excellent read.
