Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir manuscript ‘has been finished and signed off by lawyers’

Prince Harry is reported to have completed his eagerly awaited autobiography, with the final manuscript said to have been already signed off by lawyers.

Publisher Penguin Random House is aiming for the book to be out in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, when it could be marketed as a gift.

Ghostwriter JR Moehringer apparently finished the manuscript in recent weeks, The Sun reports.

A publishing source said: ‘The manuscript has been finished and gone through all of the legal processes. It’s gone and out of Harry’s hands

‘The publishing date has been pushed back once but it is on track for the end of the year.’

Prince Harry signed up to the book deal last year, despite issuing repeated calls for his family’s privacy to be respected.

It is widely anticipated to showcase his memories of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, and the breakdown of his parents’ marriage.

How other senior royals will be depicted – such as Prince Harry’s father, Prince Charles, his brother Prince William and stepmother Camilla – is the source of much speculation among commentators.

The Duke of Sussex said he was writing ‘not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become’, revealing he wanted to include ‘the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned’.

It is also understood he is keen for the book to show his grandmother in a positive light.

In a statement last year, Penguin Random House told media that the upcoming book is: ‘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, one that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.’
