The authoritative biography of Prince Harry by noted royal family
biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: The Man Who Will Be
King and The Firm: The Troubled Life of the House of Windsor.
Prince Harry, one of the most popular members of the British royal
family, has had a colorful life. After losing his mother at 12 years
old, he spent his teenage years making questionable choices under
intense international media scrutiny, becoming known for his mischevious
grin, shock of red hair, and the occassional not-so-royal indiscretion.
As he's grown, he has distinguished himself through military service,
flying helicopters for the RAF. He served in Afghanistan and continues
to devote himself to his military career. He also follows in his
mother's footsteps with charity work--he is the founder of Sentebale, a
charity to help orphans in Lesotho, and works with many other charitable
organziations to help young people in society and to conserve natural
resources. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, Prince Harry is proving
himself a prince of the people.
With unprecedented access to the most important figures in his life,
Penny Junor is able get the truth about who this mercurial and
fascinating royal son really is. A modern biography of a modern prince,
this book offers an insider's look at the life of the man who is fourth
in line to Britain's throne.
