Blurb from publisher.

In an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time, Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.

Covering his lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the frontlines of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, on that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.'

Didn't the wives of some of his comrades say he did sweet fuck all in Afghanistan other than distasteful wear a cap saying "We do bad things to bad people"

TooWicked · 19/07/2021 20:14

I'm writing this not as the Prince I was born as but the man I have become

Absolutely toe curling.

@Billlius

Chris Ship has it about right.
Maybe the tweet underneath is the one you mean as that one doesn't say anything ?
RoseRedRoseBlue · 19/07/2021 20:15

H&M have got NO idea how desperate they look, and how unintentionally hilarious they are 😂😂

Weebleweeble · 19/07/2021 20:16

Funny he didn't wait until Christmas when most autobiographies come out.
If he's doing this now what will he do then - an advice book for parents??

I think that’s way below the belt.

@Mysterian

He's actually writing it all himself and has already used up his favouritest 2 crayons.
This actually made me snort with laughter
CathyorClaire · 19/07/2021 20:21

If this is the definitive account what's the rest of the over-shared drivel been?

CrouchEndTiger12 · 19/07/2021 20:22

@Tealwarrior I read it on here actually years ago.

Ginger1982 · 19/07/2021 20:24

Have you seen the trailer for the Lifetime movie?

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 19/07/2021 20:24

Good luck with that christening in Windsor.

Comeinoutoftherain · 19/07/2021 20:28

The bit that is weird is (yet another) project where the earnings are going to be donated to charity.

It's all very generous, but I'm still clueless to understand where the money is coming from for H&M to keep themselves in their lifestyle.

They have done one, Luke warmly received, podcast; have not finished anything for Netflix yet, and I'm not sure those two poster boy jobs he has will pay the big bucks.

M's book isn't the next Harry Potter, and obviously she's off on maternity leave.

I guess they hope the publicity from the book will repay them, but right now I don't see why they are donating money to charity.

If W had any idea of this, then no wonder he looked sour at the Diana statue unveiling.

If they really do want to christen Lili at Windsor, I can imagine the Queen might be about to balk.

I think it's a dreadful idea, and I just can't see how interesting it can be. He's not Michelle Obama, in terms of life experiences.

Plus he's going to have to go into the whole Diana saga... which he has often said haunts him. That cannot be good for his mental health.

Billlius · 19/07/2021 20:28

@SunshineCake. Um…. No. I meant that actual tweet. It says more than you want it to say.

PurpleOkapi · 19/07/2021 20:29

I'll read it to see how well it lines up with Finding Freedom. Which, as some may recall, they emphatically insisted they had nothing to do with and did not cooperate with in any way.

ShamedBySiri · 19/07/2021 20:31

When one thinks how poor Crawfie was frozen out for her anodyne memoir about the two little princesses. Different times I know but somehow I doubt The Queen has changed her views on loyalty much.

NEVERENDINGST0RY · 19/07/2021 20:35

Hes his mothers son alright

coodawoodashooda · 19/07/2021 20:38

Obviously hes experienced serioys trauma in his life but ffs. Didn't he say he left the RF to live a private life?

IcedPurple · 19/07/2021 20:39

The man who whined about his mother and wife being made into 'commodities' by the press, is now making himself into a commodity. Selling his private life for cash. I guess it was inevitable really. He's got nothing else to offer other than his royal connections. This is the life of 'freedom' he has chosen for himself. Trading off his royal name.

Really, who knew? I don't find him the least bit fascinating, and as for influential Confused

Is there no end to this nonsense.

fallfallfall · 19/07/2021 20:43

is he old enough to publish a memoir? i thought these things were reserved for the nearly dead.

IcedPurple · 19/07/2021 20:43

I guess they hope the publicity from the book will repay them, but right now I don't see why they are donating money to charity.

It just says 'proceeds'. How much of the 'proceeds'? 2%? Also, which 'charity'? My bet is their own Archewell 'charity foundation'.

smilesy · 19/07/2021 20:45

This from the BBC article:

“The BBC has been told the duke has recently spoken privately with his family about writing the book.
A spokesperson for the duke added that he would not be expected to obtain permission for the project from Buckingham Palace.”

DarceyDashwood · 19/07/2021 20:45

He is coming across as very dim and self absorbed now in my opinion.

ShamedBySiri · 19/07/2021 20:47

I'll read it to see how well it lines up with Finding Freedom.

Now that really will be taking one for the team. You could draw up a spreadsheet with FF, Prince H & Oprah comparing events in each column.

I had a history teacher who made us do that for two whole terms : date in the left margin and columns for names of prime minister/ head is state/ wars/ important battles/ legislation and God knows what else. Bored the shit out of us all and we all gave up history after that, no one went on to do it for O level.

It’s really not something that should have been repeated.
