I felt I had to read this being a monarchist and having seen most of the Harry and Meghan stuff first hand and being absolutely horrified by it. The book was really interesting and informative it has made me see the entire situation in a different light and has really killed what little trust I had in the press and the ‘truths’ they tell

An honest, funny and moving account of Prince Harry’s life and the challenges that come with being the spare. I thought the book particularly picked up in the third section, talking about Meghan and recent events. Took me a while to get through but I ended up being very moved. Appreciated having an insight into a life completely different from my own.

I'm not really a fan of the royals at all, so I've put off reading this, but I actually ended up really enjoying it! It's a very interesting and reflective take on living your live in the ultimate spotlight, the effect the loss of a parent has on you (especially at a young age), the pressures of family, and the absolutely horrible beast that is the British press. I'd recommend reading this, even if you're like me and hold no love for Prince Harry or any of the royal family.
