Принц Гарри расскажет о своей юности и семейной жизни в книге мемуаров

BGUK_2130441 - Los Angeles, CA - Prince Harry says Diana was 'chased to death while in a relationship with someone who wasn't white' as his AppleTV+ show with Oprah on mental health drops early. In the first episode of his new show The Me You Can't See, Harry also says his family tried to prevent him and Megan from leaving when she was suicidal. In the candid interview with Oprah, he said he felt trapped at the palace and went through a drinking and drug phase in his 30s. He said he had to go to therapy and felt like history was repeating itself. Harry also spoke about his mother Diana's death in 1997. "History was repeating itself,' he said. "My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white. And now look what’s happened. It’s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life. Like, the list is growing. And it all comes back to the same people, the same business model, the same industry." The Prince also discusses his failure to process the grief from the death of his mother; the helplessness he felt to protect her; his dependence on drugs and alcohol to numb the pain; his anxiety and sense of being trapped in the palace; his family's refusal to help when Megan felt suicidal and how therapy helped him 'break the cycle'. "For me, therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything,' he said. "Eventually when I made that decision for my family, I was still told: ‘You can’t do this'. And it’s like: ‘Well how bad does it have to get until I am allowed to do this?’ She [Markle] was going to end her life. It shouldn’t have to get to that." When asked if he has any regrets, he says it is not taking a stand earlier in his relationship with Markle. In a later episode of the show, Harry says one of son Archie's first words was 'grandma'. "It's the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here," Harry said. According to Harry, a photo of his late moth

По информации Telegraph, заявление о публикации мемуаров Гарри было выпущено без ведома членов королевской семьи. Как заявил представитель герцога Сассекского, от Букингемского дворца разрешение на публикацию книги вряд ли поступит, но Гарри обсуждал такую возможность с семьей в личной беседе.

Работа над книгой продолжалась почти год. Сообщается, что герцогу помогал лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, писатель и журналист Джон Джозер Мерингер из Нью-Йорка. В свое время он написал мемуары для теннисиста Андре Агасси и соучредителя Nike Фила Найта. А по его собственной автобиографии «Нежный бар» снимает фильм сам Джордж Клуни.

«Я пишу не как принц, которым родился, а как человек, которым я стал, – прокомментировал принц Гарри. – За эти годы я износил много шляп, как в прямом, так и в переносном смысле, и надеюсь, что, рассказывая свою историю – взлеты и падения, ошибки и извлеченные уроки – я смогу показать, что, независимо от того, откуда мы, у нас больше общего, чем мы думаем. Я глубоко благодарен за возможность поделиться тем, что я узнал за свою жизнь, и рад, что люди прочтут точный и полностью правдивый рассказ о моей жизни из первых рук».

Книга будет издана в печатном и цифровом форматах, а также в формате аудиокниги. Принц Гарри пообещал отправить вырученные от продаж средства на благотворительность.
