Before reading the book proper, I had heard some excerpts of the audiobook and I think that the portions that got attention prove Harry's point about the tabloids and public scrutiny. He talks a lot about the heir/spare dynamic and how he was set up to be the clown of the family. Even when he tried to do something of substance, his past mistakes would be brought up to discredit him and make him a joke. So part of revealing the embarrassing, fascinating stories is to signal to the British press that they cannot blackmail him since he divulged them on his terms.

After reading the Britney memoir, I thought May as well read the OTHER most talked about memoir from this year, and I thought it might be similar to Britney's in that most of the WTF moments would have been covered already in the press. But no! TOO MUCH WTF TO BE HAD HERE.

Now, obviously, Harry is still going to have his blind spots, and therapy at this stage will have only unraveled so much (since there is SO, SO MUCH to unravel), but he does try to be fair about himself and the circumstances in which he was raised. It really does say a lot that him being sent to an active war zone during his military service felt like a welcome break from his usual life.

Anyway, I'm definitely no royalist, but I've often thought that the life must be strange to experience, no matter how close to wearing the crown you are, and this book confirmed that. It's definitely worth a library read.

I listened to the audiobook and wow was it powerful to hear in the author's voice. This book was interesting and humanizing, but also incredibly sad. I learned a lot about the British monarchy, the press, and human rights I hadn't thought about before. While I can't imagine what it would feel like to be a member of the British royal family, I certainly understand more about it's complexities. I really appreciate that this book was incredibly honest and vulnerable. I hope the author and his family find peace.
