Drivel!
Oh please! This is a long, boring, redundant and greatly untrue whine-fest. He complains about the press and his family being mean to him and his wife. Yes, that sucks. Who doesn't have family who treat them poorly? Was he abused? Left hungry and alone, uneducated and penniless? Was his farther distant? Yes, perhaps he should write a book about it and conveniently leave out that his father is also the King of England - making Harry one of the most financially &, socially secure people in the world. Perhaps he should climb into his chauffeur driven Range Rover, take his ball and go home. He talks about leaving a nightclub after a night of private VIP booths, endless women, drinking, all of it for free because he IS a Prince after all, and being whisked away by Police security every night (paid for by the taxpayers and his Father). He's upset after such a night that the paps are waiting outside with their incessant snapping pictures. Poor baby. I think the situation that best sums up this book is how Prince Harry wraps it up. After 'suffering' through his tortured existence of castles, palaces, world travel at the drop of a hat, after never having to "carry a wallet or passport, own a house key" or have his own money (Daddy and the taxpayers funded his lifestyle), after all of his hardships and being GIVEN an apartment in Kensington Palace that was below his standards, after not paying one single dime for the wedding that us mortals wouldn't dare to dream of - after all of that and more - he claims to be reduced to a normal life of "getting a job and getting a mortgage". Lets look at that life, please - he lives in a $15 million home. He spends his days, by his own admission, traveling the world (at the expense of his charitable foundation), looking out at the ocean, strolling in his garden and playing with his children before their nanny takes them back. Are we expected that the son of the King of England will go hungry or be left homeless or ever want for a single comfort in life? How gullible does he think we are? This book intrigued me before I read it. I wanted to really feel for him. He lost his mother, that is sad. How he fails to connect with his readers is by complaining about his life without realizing that his problems are not relatable. Sometimes family sucks. Sometimes entities outside our control are unfair to us. We all get that sometimes. What the rest of us non-royal people don't have is the access to unlimited support he has.
