Prince Harry to publish his life's "highs and lows" in memoir
The BBC reported the Duke of Sussex will share "mistakes and lessons learned" during his life in a memoir to be published next year.
The BBC has been told the duke has recently spoken privately with his family about writing the book.
A spokesperson for the duke added that he would not be expected to obtain permission for the project from Buckingham Palace.
Following announcing the deal with publishers Penguin Random House, Prince Harry said he would reflect "the highs and lows" and be "accurate and wholly truthful".
Penguin did not disclose the terms of its deal, which includes an audio book and international rights.
The BBC reported the duke, 36, said in a statement: "I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become."
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 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 first hand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful."
A press release described the book as "intimate and heartfelt" and "honest and moving".
It added: "Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, one that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous, and uplifting human story."
