liesthemoontells's review against another edition
4.0
From a purely academic perspective, this memoir is ground breaking and history making for breaking the code of silence around what really goes on behind the closed doors of the royal palaces.
From an entertainment perspective, it has everything you could hope for in a celebrity memoir: packed with scandalous anecdotes about a world the ordinary reader will never experience, which helps to humanise a figure that we rarely see other than through the telephoto lens of a tabloid, or glossy official media coverage.
Is it extremely one-sided? Yes. Are the parts about Harry's wartime experiences in Afghanistan a little bit boring and morally icky? Yes. Is his stated support of the monarchy pretty flimsy considering that the recollections he includes in this book of his King and the Heir to the throne paints them as insecure, conniving, snivelly little overgrown rich boys? Yes. Did I struggle to put it down? Yes, I was riveted.
