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.

Prince Harry shares his seemingly thorough and honest memoir including stories from growing up as a Royal, memories of his mother, school days, relationships with family members, his military career, dating, scandals in the press, charity work, meeting & marrying Meghan, beginning a family, and their ultimate decision to split from the Royal Family. He reads it with an audible degree of emotion, even discussing his battle with panic attacks and PTSD before finding a therapist. This may be just 1 side of the story of everything that has transpired within the Royal Family over the past several years, but this comes from someone far down the line of succession to the throne, which I feel makes him less likely to hide anything.
