Book Review: "Spare" by Prince Harry

 

"Spare," the highly anticipated memoir by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is a riveting and deeply personal journey into the life of one of the most talked-about figures of the modern era. From his childhood as the younger son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana to his experiences in the British army and his marriage to Meghan Markle, Harry's story is one of triumph, tragedy, and transformation.

In "Spare," Prince Harry offers readers an unfiltered view of his life, beginning with his earliest memories of growing up in the royal family. Harry delves into the profound impact of his mother's tragic death, which left a lasting scar and shaped his outlook on life.

The memoir explores his rebellious youth, marked by struggles with mental health and bouts of self-doubt. He shares insights into his relationships with his family members, including his father Prince Charles, brother Prince William, and grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince Harry's writing is raw and evocative, pulling readers into the depths of his emotions. The prose is straightforward yet poignant, capturing the essence of his experiences with honesty and vulnerability. I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience and highly recommend you read it.
