The Duke of Sussex is to publish a literary memoir next year, promising to be an "accurate and wholly truthful" account of his life.
It will cover his lifetime in the public eye, including his time in the military, marriage and fatherhood.
"I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” said Prince Harry.

"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."
