Prince Harry didn’t have to ask Queen Elizabeth, his grandmother, seeking permission to write his “accurate and wholly truthful” memoir but he did tell the Royal family in advance about this.
It was Penguin Random House that announced on Monday about Duke of Sussex writing a memoir that is scheduled to come out in late 2022.
Prince Harry, 36, did tell privately to the members of the Royal Family regarding the book’s publication, a spokesperson told PEOPLE.
Further, the spokesman added that Harry would not be expected to seek permission from the Buckingham Palace for the project.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment over the matter, telling PEOPLE: “Any clarification about the book would be a question for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
In a statement on Monday Harry said, “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man, I have become.” Along with this, he added, “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 learnt — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”
