Readable, interesting, but I wish Harry would unpack his colonialism. Still, I don't know how anyone reads this and still believes in monarchy afterwards.

I wasn’t prepared for the sheer amount of animal death in this book. I love animals and it broke my heart to read about the killing of goats, chickens, deer, rabbits, and others.

The rest of the book  was beautifully written and heartbreaking. Anyone ever wishing to have been born Royal or to be famous, I’d recommend reading Harry’s words. I’m glad he and Meghan found each other - their love is inspiring. I wish them a long, healthy and happy life together. And hopefully from here on out he’ll let the animals be.

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.
