Spare by Prince Harry

reflective fast-paced

3.0

I wanted to read this because it wanted to have a well informed opinion on the Harry and Meghan 'situation'. I think this book is well written and read with a lot of panache by Prince Harry, although his occasional American accent is cringey, and it really goes deep revealing a lot about his life and backstory with many personal anecdotes from his childhood. I did find this an interesting window into a secret world. I think overall this is a very clear and precise account of all the wrong done to Harry and Meghan and I sense his frustration and anger. I think I am sympathetic and the press are clearly vultures but his obsession and also paranoia is quite apparent as well, which is sad to listen to. I found this an entertaining listen, and it probably will intrigue royalists particularly Harry's fraught relationship with William and his progressive views on how the royal family built it's wealth and status. It can be a little to much information at times however, there are several infamous scenes I don't think he needed to spell out! Perhaps this added to it's charm? 
Overall I don't care too much about the royals and this cemented that even more but for what it's worth I had a good time listening to it and would recommend for anyone cultivating their views on the royal family.
