Strangely written and slightly immature, but also interesting to see into such a different life

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.

4.0

Okay, first of all I listened to the audiobook because... Well... Who doesn't want to say a prince read them a story? 

Anyway, parts of this were slow and I definitely found myself zoning out at times. Such is life though, being a prince doesn't exempt you from high and low points. But I guess that's the theme of the whole book isn't it? Even as a royal he didn't live some perfect life. 

If you don't like memoirs, don't touch this book. If you do, then I'd say this is definitely a decent one.
