Harry The People's Prince

PRINCE Harry is the most interesting – indeed the most exciting - member of the Royal Family and this no-holds-barred biography tells his story for the first time. Son of the late Princess Diana – the most famous woman on Earth – and Prince Charles, the next king, and brother of William, the king after that, he is determined to live by his mantra: ‘I am what I am’. From a childhood overshadowed by his parents’ troubled marriage and scarred by the tragic death of his mother, to his brilliant public performances at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the London Olympics and his brother’s wedding, this book charts the remarkable journey of a young man with an extraordinary destiny. It also reveals details of his extraordinary love life, telling for the first time what caused his affair with Cressida Bonas to collapse. The author has enjoyed unparalleled access to a wide variety of people whose lives Harry has touched: senior aides, humble members of palace staff, aristocrats, bodyguards, school friends, comrades-in-arms . . . and old flames. They piece together the tale of a young man who admirably has created a life so different from the one set out for him by what he describes as ‘an accident of birth’.

CHRIS HUTCHINS has been breaking royal stories in books and in newspapers for a long time. An on-going string of exclusives in the national papers he wrote for led to the commissioning of his first book, Sarah’s story (Fergie Confidential in the U.S.) after he had uncovered the Duchess of York’s marital affairs and difficulties. Then, with fellow author and newspaper executive Peter Thompson, he wrote the global best seller Diana’s Nightmare: The Family. The keynote of Hutchins’ work is the new and often unexpected stories he is able to reveal and for that he has a band of contacts in royal circles which have long been the envy of his peers. His books are by no means confined to royal subjects, however. Along with Thompson he went on to write Elvis Meets the Beatles (an historic meeting which Hutchins arranged while travelling with the Beatles in his NME days) and Athina, The Last Onassis. With Dominic Midgley he wrote Diana On The Edge, an acclaimed psychological profile of the late Princess of Wales and Goldsmith: Money, Women and Power. PUTIN, a biography of the Russian leader, took the author almost five years to research and write and involved seemingly-endless treks across Russia, a country he got to know writing ABRAMOVICH: The billionaire from nowhere. His new book is HARRY The People’s Prince, the definitive biography of Diana’s second son. Follow on Twitter @ChrisHutchinsFn
