Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here's what I got from the book. The members of the royal family are human beings. Sure, their accident of birth places them in a very entitled life where they don't need to confront their biases because, after all, they are royals and live a life of privilege. This book breaks through the mystique and aura around a sheltered life and shows us they are all human with the same emotional dysfunction as many of us share. While we can address our mental health and needs privately, the bubble in which they live, while at once private, is also not. As a child, he was not able to grieve fully for the tragic loss of his mother. Children suffer. We have moved into a world where we can now talk about and seek counseling for grief, trauma, and so one without stigma. We are so much more open about things that the previous generations were - to the better. Unfortunately, the royal family had not seemed to get that message when Harry and William needed it most - after the loss of their mother. It's clear he carries it still and he shares openly how it colored his life choices. I am a specialist in Human Design and pulled up Harry's chart out of curiosity. He is here to be transformative, to have an impact on the world and be a channel for this transformation. He had done it with the Invitcus Games and his dedication to wounder veterans and to the natural world. He searched and is living his purpose - to convey truth in his experiences in the hopes of impacting someone who needs it. If you listen to his words, in the book and in interviews, he is clear he is telling his story, his truth. After all, isn't that all any of us have? There are other truths to be sure - those of his brother and father as just two. It isn't our business to pry into their truths. Accept that this is Harry's truth and hope that those he loves can see it and accept it and work on healing it. The book caused me to ask how can you have truth when publicly, intentionally, hurtfully, shamefully and uncaringly, tabloid media presses over and over with misinformation, the twisting of the story, the inflammatory headlines and doctored photos that are ever present? We all hate when a lie is told about us but it may be one or two and even if more, it doesn't necessarily have life-altering consequences. Harry clearly tries to show us how the lies have placed so many people in jeopardy just because they were and are part of his life. Like the time he had to be pulled off of active duty because the media had let it be known where he was and it emboldened the Taliban who saw him as the BIG kill. I'm glad I read it. I see a deeply wounded young man who needed affection and love, searched for it, and finally found it. I see someone who is deeply committed to healing in the world and who is willing to put himself out there in the hopes he can help others. I see someone trying to have some normalcy in his life. I pray this next chapter of his life brings him some peace that is overdue.
