It’s the first book I’ve read in a long time (maybe years). I really enjoyed it and read it in two days.

I posted earlier…that I was enjoying it..I’m now nearing page 100 and really enjoying all the details and descriptions of Royal family life.

It’s really well done! I find Meghan fake and annoying, but loving his memoir regardless.

Harry reads the press the whole time even though his Dad advised him not to read. Except when Harry moved to the US after blowing up his life, then he finally stopped reading the papers.

The book has too much detail about the military.

Harry doesn't seem smart, but does seem likable.

Harry doesn't realize how much he got out of royal life: he was handed so many interesting opportunities that are in the book just because of who he is. He took that for granted (travel to Africa, the N and S poles, Australia...)


He’s not intellectual. He’s not academic. But I wouldn’t say he’s not smart. Like his mother he is clearly fiercely intelligent in other ways.


I agree and I think it's laughable that so many on DCUM like to smugly say he's not smart.

Does he mentioned princess Eugenie in his book?


Yes, fondly and multiple times. I already answered this. (Assuming you are the same person because I don’t think there’s much interest in Eugenie).


There really isn’t. People are reading it for tea on the senior royals.

We probably wouldn't want to read a book written by a non-writer. It would take years longer, too.


I think Michael J. Fox wrote his own books. I've read one of them, and it was very well-written.


Fox is intelligent.

For the money. The publishers wanted anything gossipy, no matter how petty and ridiculous.

You are uninformed.

Whatever you want to think in your world is fine with me.

In the celebrity memoir world, there are public ghostwriters and private ghostwriters. The public ones are handled like Harry. The private ones are bound to secrecy by legal contracts. You can never assume a famous person’s memoir is entirely self-written.
