It was announced on Monday that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s “heartbreak” over the death of Prince Philip will be added to the epilogue of their biography “Finding Freedom.”

Page Six reported that the updated paperback version of authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand’s royal biography will be available on August 31, which is the 24th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana.

“In the new epilogue, Scobie and Durand share behind the scenes of Harry and Meghan’s groundbreaking interview with Oprah [Winfrey], details behind the couple’s move to California, the various philanthropic and business endeavors the Sussexes have been involved with since their move and what’s to come with Archewell Productions,” HarperCollins said in a statement.

The updated version of the book will also delve into Meghan’s “emotional healing journey from losing a child” to the birth of her and Harry’s daughter, Lilibet Diana, to the “continuous challenges the couple faces regarding privacy and the British press.”

Philip died back in April at the age of 99, just two months shy of his one hundredth birthday. He left behind Queen Elizabeth, his wife of 73 years, as well as four children and many grandchildren.

This comes after Harry announced that he is writing a memoir that will come out next year.

“I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” Harry said in a statement. “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 firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful,” he added.

The royal family has reason to panic about the book, given how much Harry has spoken out against them in recent months. In his explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March, Harry was critical of the royal family as he talked about his decision to step down as a senior royal.

“[There was] a lack of support and lack of understanding,” Harry said at the time. “My biggest concern was history repeating itself, and I’ve said that before on numerous occasions, very publicly. … It was like, ‘I need to do this for my family.’ This is not a surprise to anybody. It’s really sad that it’s gotten to this point, but I’ve got to do something for my own mental health, my wife’s, and for Archie’s, as well, because I could see where this was headed.”
