Not really a book review because as someone pointed out, you can't really rate someone's life story or memoir.
I don't want to hear any arguments about this. It was a fabulous book and as Prince Harry points out, memories are a matter of perspective. People remember things differently.
Having said that, he has had a rough go of it from the very beginning... being called Spare the moment he was born. He developed severe anxiety and PTSD from the war. Give the guy a break.
I am happy he is happy now.
I loved this book.

I'm glad you enjoyed the book. I don't have an opinion on it all. The royal family isn't interesting to me.

@LadyDuck I didn´t know that. Maybe he could write another book about it.

Prince Harry should be happy since his book is written by him sharing his life experiences from his point of view.

I'm curious about this. I watched the Anderon Cooper interview and I felt really sorry for Harry going through all the loss and trauma.

There is literally a video of Kate talking to William and Harry at a picnic table about mental health. William said they didn't talk to each other about their mother and Harry added "Not enough". After reading the book it seems William pushed Harry away a long, long time ago.

@patgalca i guess they were all trying to deal with it, especially the two sons. i can't blame william either, being the eldest son and having to be a role model too. i remember the two boys watching some of their late mother's videos and they were moved to tears. it must have been very hard for them.
