Also, his descriptions of his “service” are such a joke. He has no clue what it is like to serve. He missed the entire point of hostile environment training. He describes the favouritism he received without realizing that’s what he is describing.
Plus his lack of insight that the criticism reported is based on his behaviour. Plus his freaking Oedipal Complex. Plus his todger stories. And…
He thinks no one was protecting him, but this book shows the Palace was protecting him from being revealed to the public for the ass he is. Don’t believe me? Read it in his own words.

Lack of compassion/empathy (bordering on sociopathic behaviour). Possible narcissistic abuse.bek_p87's review against another edition

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.

Other thoughts:
- I cannot believe I now know that Prince Harry is circumcised
- Find it hilarious that according to Haz Charles is in his ‘Camilla era’ - Taylor take note! ✍️
- On a serious note his hatred of the media (especially Murdoch) is palpable - I wonder if he’ll pursue them in court
- On a personal note I don’t love that Harry is convinced we (US + allies) were the ‘good guys’ in Afghanistan - and his refusal to think critically about the wider implications and complexities of the war/occupation.

The choices in content and narrative structure are baffling at best.
However, the last 1/3 is better than the first 2/3. That's its saving grace.
So many of his family members caught strays - more of a gossipy tell-all than a constructive interrogation of the Royal family.

I do truly feel for the couple, especially Meghan. The way the press attacked her is disgusting.
I learned entirely too much about Harry's penis.
The part about swallowing your own tongue will haunt me forever.
The conversations between Harry and his family give so much whiplash. They dismiss him or yell at him and then they reach out to him to see if he's okay. They get mad at him and then try to recover the relationship. It's confusing and I don't know how Harry could handle all of the back and forth.

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.
