A review by iovreads
Spare by Prince Harry

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

2.5

I thought this book was an interesting perspective on being royal and the abuse that Harry and Meghan faced at the hands of the press and the family. I also appreciated hearing more about Harry’s background in the military and life before meeting Meghan - it gave an interesting perspective on him and what is important to him. I did think that he should have taken more responsibility for some of his actions or lack thereof as a young adult, however, it was very clear that he had a lot of growing up to do and that Meghan had a hand in that.
I thought that the stark difference between the births of their son and their daughter (read: how Harry acted at the births) was indicative of the growing up that he did in between those times. I think that we like to think of these people as infallible but this book shows that he is not.
