Reviews

Read it out of interest and hype, honestly not worth the paper, it's nothing that hasn't been said in interviews before and my gears were seriously grinded at the privilege and the poor me attitude. I get he has issues with the press but to throw his entire family out to dry has quite frankly done him no favours. I initially had sympathy for both Harry and Megan, but this book has changed my opinion on them both and not necessarily for the better

Spare: Or, Unfettered, Deeeeeep Grief

I don't understand how anyone could read this book and not see it for what it is: a story of a man who is still traumatized by deeeep, deeeeeeeeep grief, being ridiculed on a world stage he didn't ask for, while only asking for help, guidance, and LOVE from his f*cking family. It's tragic and sad and infuriating. Harry was a child who went through the unimaginable, living in a bubble, trying to figure out his identity and place in the world and all anyone cared about was the "image" and the $$.

Glad he finally got to tell his story in his own words after years of the press putting words in his mouth. I'd be just as angry and pissed as he is, and rightfully so. F*ck the British press and shame on his family for not providing him with the love and care you'd think a family would provide. That's the saddest part about it. His father and brother and other family members didn't speak out in his defense. And Why?? Don't get it. Ultimately, this book made me sad and angry, and hopefulllllllly things can change. But I doubt it. Money runs the world.
