Prince Harry To Pen Memoirs, First British Royal To Do So

New York, July 20 (TNA) Prince Harry, the younger son of late princess Diana is penning an intimate and honest memoir, publisher Penguin Random House said Monday. The memoirs, the publisher said further would expose the "mistakes" and "lessons learned" across his life.

It will be the first time a senior British royal has ever written such a book, according to British media reports. "I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become," said Prince Harry in a statement published by Penguin Random House.

The book will also cover his childhood -- Harry was just 12 years old when his mother, Prince Diana, died in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997.
