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.

From your resident nosy neighbor, this is NOT the book for you if you are looking for a tell all that spills gallons of tea. 
If you are in the mood for a few frills, introspection and hindsight walk down memory lane Prince Harry has given us that. Examining his life through the lens of his grief after losing his mother and coming of age while answering the true millennial question, 'what am I doing? More importantly, why?' Spare takes us through the last 25 years of recent Royal family history and gives us an inside out view of what really happened. Harry doesn't sensationalize, but he DOES give an open and thought provoking view in this memoir.

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

Before reading the book proper, I had heard some excerpts of the audiobook and I think that the portions that got attention prove Harry's point about the tabloids and public scrutiny. He talks a lot about the heir/spare dynamic and how he was set up to be the clown of the family. Even when he tried to do something of substance, his past mistakes would be brought up to discredit him and make him a joke. So part of revealing the embarrassing, fascinating stories is to signal to the British press that they cannot blackmail him since he divulged them on his terms.
