This is a story of a boy without a stable home life whose mother dies tragically. That trauma carries into war zones and his search for a relationship that can withstand the scrutiny of the press. With the help of therapy, he's able to move forward.
Some of the best parts for me were learning about life in the palace, at Eton, and in the army. It was also fascinating to learn how Prince Charles divided royal duties and access to money between the brothers.

As a tell all memoir, I didn't immensely enjoy it, instead, reading it with the mind that it was written by a person. Just a person. Its heartbreaking.
I have never cried as much reading a non fiction book as reading this.

The Details:
Narrated by Prince Harry
Unabridged
This was surprisingly interesting!
I was initially roped in by the strange snippet about his nether regions but I found quite a lot of interesting stories in here.
One of the bigger controversies I was intrigued to hear about was his thoughts behind dressing up as a Nazi and the other brainless things he did as a youth, to get him dubbed as "Prince Harry, the Thicko", but I was most invested when he was talking about how he met Megan and the relationships and difficulties that grew there.
Hearing about his struggles with how he handled emotion after the death of his mum was quite heartbreaking to hear. Being in a similar situation I couldn't help but empathise.
There were a lot of instances were he sounded so far removed from reality and woe is me, but for the most part this was absorbing.
Overall, a fascinating insight into the Prince's tell-all.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
