I hate bowling.

Also, it’s infinitely idiotic for one to write a book under one’s honorific.

Is “Prince” supposed to be his first name now, or what? Forgive me, but I was under the impression that Olaf had cleared all this up?

Dragged a bit especially early. I have never had any knowledge or interest in the royal family, so I'm judging it as a book. There are a few times in which he is completely unaware of the real world. There's also some hand waving about how he does survive monetarily at the end. I wish that had been included.

I was just going to skim around in this but was engaged enough to read the whole thing. It was well written and vulnerable and probably more generous than most other people deserved. The war bits were not my favorite but likely others enjoyed that part.

You know what, fair play. Was really brave of Harry to be so honest and vulnerable after years of mistreatment and neglect from his family and the media. Although there were some cringey moments, overall it was insightful to hear the way events actually unfolded over the course of his life.

Interesting, maybe a little longer than necessary but still very good

This book took me over 18 months to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this first half of the book but somehow managed to step away from it for almost a year.
After recently picking up where I left off and finishing the second half, I was happy to discover Harry's story still provided significant interest and the chapters passed by quickly.
I appreciate the open and honest dialogue and having to understand that life behind closed doors looks different for everyone.
I am not a royalist but reading about Harry's upbringing from childhood to the current day was fascinating.
