Prince Harry: Brother. Soldier. Son. Husband.

Formats & Editions

Endearingly naughty as a child, delightfully mischievous as an adult, Prince Harry is one of the most popular members of the British Royal Family. He is the redhead that Diana called 'the spare' who as a little boy walked so bravely behind his mother's cortege. Fourth in line to the throne, since the birth of Prince George, he can afford the occasional Las Vegas moment - and there have been plenty. But beneath the fun and frivolity, Harry has grown up. He is a brilliant soldier, a natural leader, an adventurer and a passionate advocate for those less fortunate than himself. He served on the front line in Afghanistan twice - latterly as an Apache attack helicopter co-pilot/gunner - and he is a champion of those who didn't get out in one piece. Last year he trekked to the South Pole with the wounded; and he alone was the driving force behind this year's first international Paralympic-style Invictus Games in London.

But Harry's story could have been very different. This book looks at how, against all the odds, the wild child came good - and turned from a liability into one of the monarchy's greatest assets: what the Daily Mail called 'the Royal Family's secret weapon.'

In the last thirty years, Penny Junor has written extensively about his family and has had access to many of the most important figures in Harry's life. Published to celebrate his thirtieth birthday in September 2014, this biography is the first authoritative account of this most charming and charismatic of the Queen's grandchildren.
