Prince Harry Completes Much-Awaited Memoir with Manuscript Signed by Lawyers Following Reports That California Home Targeted by Intruders

Prince Harry is thought to have finished his long-awaited autobiography, with the final draft already signed off by lawyers.

Penguin Random House hopes to get the book available in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays when it might be promoted as a gift. According to The Sun, ghostwriter JR Moehringer appears to have completed the work in recent weeks.

Prince Harry's Memoir Nears Completion

Despite repeatedly requesting that his family's privacy be respected, Prince Harry agreed to the book contract last year. It is largely expected to focus on his recollections of his mother, Princess Diana, and the breakup of his parent's marriage. Commentators are divided on how other senior royals, such as Prince Harry's father, Prince Charles, his brother, Prince William, and stepmother Camilla, would be represented.

The Duke of Sussex stated that he was writing "not as the prince I was born, but as the man I have become," adding that he intended to cover "the highs and lows, blunders, and lessons learned." The Queen is thought to be the only member of the Royal Family who was briefed about the impending biography by the Duke of Sussex. It is also reported that he wants the book to portray his grandma favorably, Daily Mail reported.

Recently, speculation has centered on whether Prince Harry's impending memoir on palace life and his royal upbringing will put pressure on his publisher to write a sensational account. The Duke of Sussex has been working on the ultimate chronicle of the events, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped form him, according to Penguin Random House.

Penguin Random House announced the publication of Prince Harry's memoir in July 2021, four months after Harry and Meghan Markle's Oprah Winfrey interview leveled damaging allegations against the monarchy, including that an unnamed racist royal expressed concern about the skin color of their unborn child.

According to the press announcement, Prince Harry will explain his military experience in Afghanistan and his role as Meghan's spouse and father to Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. It didn't say if there will be criticism of the royals, but Harry did imply that he could try to confront some of his media critics when he stated the narrative would be exact and entirely true, as per Newsweek via MSN.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's US Home Targeted by 2 Intruders

In the last 12 days, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's house in the United States has been subjected to two intruder scares. In both instances, police were called to the Montecito estate where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live with their children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one.

According to Santa Barbara Police Department records, detectives were called to the $14 million property on May 19 at 5:44 pm after allegations of a trespasser. They then reacted to a second intrusion claim on May 31 at 3.21 pm, only hours before Harry and Meghan arrived from the UK following the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Despite leaving royal responsibilities and going to California in 2020, the pair has prolonged their lease on Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which has 24-hour police protection. Prince Harry was recently granted permission to sue the Home Office over his security arrangements, after launching a court challenge in February after the Home Office refused to allow him to pay for his security when visiting the UK.

The High Court decision means he will now be allowed to seek a judicial review after Harry and his lawyers claimed that his US-based entourage has sufficient jurisdiction in Britain to adequately protect him.

According to police records, Meghan and Harry's US residence has received six security alarm calls in the previous 14 months. Both May calls were classified as trespasser, property offenses, and suspicious circumstances, according to Mirror.
