Its title refers to Prince’s only United Kingdom number one, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, which she inspired.
Prince and Garcia were married on Valentine’s Day in 1996 and were expecting a child.
Mayte Garcia is writing an “intimate” memoir, The Most Beautiful, about her marriage to Prince, whose sudden death earlier this year rocked the nation.
Publisher Hachette said the book was due for release in April 2017, marking the first anniversary of the pop star’s death. “Prince was loved the world over but few knew him intimately”, Garcia said of the work.
“Ours was a rare, nearly otherworldly connection”, Garcia said when announcing the title.
In a statement, Garcia said that she shared a “rare, nearly otherworldly connection” with Prince and that her memoir will focus on “the highs and lows – always coming from a loving place, as this man is still a part of my family and always will be”.
In addition to featuring tales of triumph and pain, The Most Beautiful will contain never-before-seen letters, pictures and items Garcia collected over the years. Pre-order on Amazon https://amzn.to/2cKtIVs.

Prince died on April 22 from an accidental drug overdose of Fentanyl. “No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince-both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist – than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career”. As mysterious as his music, Prince was an enigmatic icon.
