Wow…what a read. A fascinating insight into the Royals life and the man behind all the headlines. Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreakingly sad.
Sometimes he only lightly covered things I was interested in and then went into great depths about things I am much less bothered by (helicopter flying, namely), hence the loss of half a star - just because there were moments where I wasn’t swept away! But it’s a really excellently written autobiography. I wish everyone would read it rather than take the headlines at face value because there’s so much context that’s been deliberately omitted from every press story.
Definitely a must-read of 2023!
