I listened to the audiobook, which I feel like made it a million times better because Prince Harry reads it. This book just really shows how media skews the truth, how people will do anything for money, how people only care about how they look in the spotlight and even your blood will betray you. I cannot believe all the crap Prince Harry and Meg went through and how they basically were kicked out. I never liked Camilla and this just goes to show what a snake she really is. This book really sheds a light on the hell it is to be a Royal. I 100% support Prince Harry's decision and would've chosen the same if it were me.

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

This is really just boring 

Admittedly, Harry and Meghan, as a couple, give me cringey vibes, and I don't particularly care for them, but I did feel bad for what they've had to endure from the press. But then I also question the motive behind the book, the interview, the Netflix series, etc. If you want privacy, why do you keep putting things out publicly? This was also way too long. And another thing: if being royalty has essentially ruined your life, killed your mom, and broken your relationships with pretty much everyone in your family, why continue to back the monarchy?

Prince Harry has gotten a lot of hate for this one and.. to a decent degree, I get it. I listened on audio, and I don't know that I would have enjoyed it quite as much in print. Where the writing isn't great, the audio makes up for it in its conversational nature. Probably wouldn't re-read, but if you're discouraged by the reviews and still interested, definitely recommend the audiobook
