Spare by Prince Harry

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

Oh bloody HELL. Look, except for occasionally getting tearful when I think about how much Princess Diana would have made an amazing Drag Race judge, I'm not really interested in Price Harry or any of the monarchy. HOWEVER. For better or for worse, I am a citizen of the UK and therefore the monarchy does affect me and so while I don't have an opinion on Prince Harry as a person, I think it probably does serve me to be informed about the royal family, at least in a broad sense. There were a lot of things in here that I didn't need to know but in general it was actually better than I thought it would be. I have so many thoughts about this book, too many to write down here - there were bits that amused me and moved me, bits that bored me, shocked me, and bits I rolled my eyes at - but mostly it made me sure that being born into the monarchy is a human rights violation. Haz went further than I thought he would with his condemnations, but not as far as I would have liked.

PS. Absolutely hilarious that he wanted to start his book with a quote and admits in the introduction that he found it on brainyquote.com
