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.

A little long and rambly in parts. I felt like some things weren’t necessary and it could’ve been tightened up but who am I to tell Prince Harry how to tell his story? Well narrated (didn’t give me the ick or put me to sleep). Interesting, compelling, easy to follow. The descriptions of hunting were gory and did seem excessive. I also found the way he talked about war in Afghanistan difficult but that is due to a difference in opinion not the writing. Men will really repeatedly ask to go to an active war zone instead of going to therapy.
