challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

A tragic memoir as Harry reflects on growing up in the toxic enviorment of the royal family and the invasive paparazzi that led to his mother's death and consumed his own life leaving to his split with the royals. Harry speaks with a deeply reflective voice of someone who has clearly spent years in therapy trying to unpack the toxic world he was raised in. He owns his mistakes and offers a deep empathy to his own family, even as he laments the state of disconnection.

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.
