"Enough death- enough. When is someone in this family going to break free and live?"
This book is heavy.
It feels like a therapy session- the assignment of write it all down, get it out, and let it free.
I knew about Meghan as an actress, followed her blog, but didn't know about Prince Harry much outside of being Princess Diana's son. I knew about the abuse she faced.
And watching the abuse from UK press and weird trolls- I thought "Is Harry really worth it? Can't see just come home so they can STOP?" But, seeing the love and respect and reverence they have for each other. I then thought, yeah they're worth it. They'll protect each other like true spouses should, they'll find a way out.

And here we are.
Never expected Harry to be anti-monarchy so confused as to why people placed that on him. I knew he'd think, at first, that he HAD to continue working for the crown. That's all those in the family are raised to do. Accept your role, and accept abuse from false stories. Don't even stay whats a rumor and what's true. That's no way to live.
Also, there are some people who are committed to misunderstanding you no matter what- ignore them.

To freedom Harry!
