Reviews with content warning for Cursing - Spare

I don't consider myself a Royal watcher, but I can remember as a child, getting up really early to watch the televised wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. I remember when their sons, William and Harry, were born; the precious pictures of Princess Diana with her 2 young boys; her tragic death; and the heartbreaking images of those boys walking in her funeral procession. After such tragedy, as those boys grew into men, I, like much of the world I think, had hoped they would find happiness in marriage and building their own families. Unfortunately, the discord that has rocked the Royal Family continues the tragedy for William and Harry.

Prince Harry shares his seemingly thorough and honest memoir including stories from growing up as a Royal, memories of his mother, school days, relationships with family members, his military career, dating, scandals in the press, charity work, meeting & marrying Meghan, beginning a family, and their ultimate decision to split from the Royal Family. He reads it with an audible degree of emotion, even discussing his battle with panic attacks and PTSD before finding a therapist. This may be just 1 side of the story of everything that has transpired within the Royal Family over the past several years, but this comes from someone far down the line of succession to the throne, which I feel makes him less likely to hide anything.

I enjoyed the book immensely. A great reminder that Harry is first and foremost a HUMAN and not a royal. I think sometimes people forget that because of the way royals are made to look in public. He’s a man in love with his family who is trying to make his way in the world on his own. People didn’t like his behaviour as a royal most of the time but now they don’t like him goi ng on his own.
