Twitter Reacts After Prince Harry Denies Claim He'll Publish Another Memoir After Queen Elizabeth's Death

Prince Harry has no plans to publish a second memoir after his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's death.

In a statement to The Independent, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said that contrary to "false media reports," he is working on only one memoir, which he announced earlier this week. The book is set to be published by Penguin Random House in late 2022.

Prince Harry released the statement after Daily Mail royal editor Rebecca English reported Friday that the duke signed a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House. The report also claimed that the second book will only be released after the Queen has passed away.

Following the report, royal correspondent Omid Scobie tweeted, "A report claiming Prince Harry is holding back a second book (of a multi-title deal) for after the Queen’s death seems to be wide of the mark. A Sussex rep says there’s NO project coordinated around such an event, adding that it would be factually inaccurate to suggest otherwise."

Some Twitter users were happy that Prince Harry released a statement shutting down false claims against him.

"Don't you just love it Prince Harry finally as a voice against our toxic RR," one person tweeted.

"See that UK media there’s an actual spokesperson for Harry and Meghan..so we don’t need to speculate," another Twitter user wrote.

Others said they wouldn't mind if Prince Harry released more books. "I’d be happy with a trilogy!!!" one user wrote.

However, some social media users were not happy about Prince Harry releasing a book and potentially thrashing the royal family.

"Harry has warped into a cruel and vengeful man. A truly tragic figure," one person commented.

"I'm unsure why Prince Harry needs to retell the same story over & over again but in different mediums. I don't see how this allows the reconciliation he claimed he wants, especially considering his response to those close to him who wrote books/articles about his family," another tweeted.

"Prince Harry says: 'I'm writing this not as the prince I was born, but as the man I've become'. But everything you do is because you have a royal title. Do you think we'd be interested in you if you weren't the grandson of the Queen. You're milking your title for all it's worth!" a third user tweeted.

According to the official press release for Prince Harry's memoir, the book will contain a "definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shaped him."

The memoir will also cover 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 frontline of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father."

In his own statement, Prince Harry said, "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 firsthand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful.”

Additional details about Prince Harry's book have yet to be made public.
