Description

1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the global phenomenon that tells an unforgettable story of love, loss, courage, and healing. “Compellingly artful . . . [a] blockbuster memoir.”—The New Yorker (Best Books of the Year) It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness—and, because he blamed the press for his mother’s death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight. At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn’t find true love. Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple’s cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother. . . . For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief. Read more

    • Exceptional, Enlightening Read
Format: Kindle
This is an honest, heartfelt account of the life of Prince Harry and his unique challenges in claiming his true self, his freedom, and the love of his life. He is forthright about his feelings of the profound loss of his mother, his inability to grieve, and the impact of an emotionally distant father and family. He freely admits his mistakes, choices, and insecurities and in doing so allows the reader to feel his pulse — the heartbeat of an extraordinary and courageous man. He provides an account — previously diminished, distorted, fabricated, manipulated or controlled by the British tabloids and their palace cohorts and the Royal family — of the intense and often dangerous effects of the tabloids and paparazzi on his life, his wife Meghan and their family and friends. He explains in detail how this bizarre, dysfunctional relationship between the palace staff and the Royal family have with the tabloids functions, who benefits and how, why it exists, and even identifies the palace institution enablers who effectively manage “The Firm.” He does not bash nor condemn his relatives, as some might expect; rather, he presents a balanced view of his family, often with loving and affectionate recollections, yet is courageously forthright about certain family members’ behaviors, conversations and lack of support throughout his life and especially as it relates to his marriage. In spite of all that, it is quite clear he mourns his family but they made it impossible for him to continue in his role or simply as a member of the family. His loyalty is to his wife and family; he is dedicated to protecting them and helping them thrive. Further, it is at times terrifying to read of the lengths the tabloids and paparazzi have gone in stalking Harry, even during his combat deployments, and later how they were unrelenting in terrorizing Meghan, other relatives, friends and associates. It is also sickening to read of the outright lies, often fed to the tabloids by palace staff themselves, deceit and hurtful untruths spread to diminish the Prince and his wife in the eyes of the British people. Further, the book reveals how the Royal family were beseeched time and again to intervene, but refused to help, apparently so as to not negatively impact their public personas promoted in the tabloids. The book ends with hope and freedom, albeit with sadness. My reaction is that the book weaves countless memories, events and impressions into a cohesive, informative read. It is well written, compelling, thoughtful, introspective and at times even humorous and tender. It is a fair response and last word to counter the avalanche of lies, distortions, insults and untruths spread primarily by the British tabloids and permitted by the Royals without protest. I recommend the book highly and thank Prince Harry, aka Harry Wales, for writing it. ... show more

    • Strength, integrity, autonomy
Format: Hardcover
I just now finally got to this book I ordered when it first came out. It was wonderful. The writing, the story, and the lessons. First, the main takeaway is the incredible strength and natural integrity Harry has in the midst of immoral madness. This experience reminded me of the poem, "IF" by Kipling. The line that relates here goes something like this: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, and blaming it on you...." He has been blamed for using his mind and his decision-making skills, while those sold into submission (the whole Royal family) gave up their 'Self' and any real sense of whole 'being-ness." There remain systems that no longer work. They were unethical when they started and they are unethical now. The Royal business is as such. It can be morally Re-balanced and I will hope someone at some time will do that if the British people continue to need or enjoy it. But 'Royals' needing and requiring submission, bows, from others why they make the others feel 'less than' and more, is morally wrong. Especially when you have a new 'queen' who is a liar and cheat, along with her mate. Where is the 'better than you" there? Kate was what British folks call a "commoner" as I read when William met her. She has relinquished her autonomy, so of course William will demand that from Meghan. In many families the first born are favored, and in William's case he will be King. Who wants that? Who wants the bows, the submission? No one really. Read Shakespeare. The royals end up needing the servants more than the servants 'need' them. I feel badly for William and can only hope that when he is King, he will rid the tradition of these horrible actions. I do think there is envy there on his end. Harry can be free. William is not and never will be. In the meantime, the many moral issues Harry points out are great lessons for students of all ages. What makes us a person? What epithets do we live by that give us identity and power or hold us hostage and powerless? How is one person more valuable than another just by birth order? Why must an American woman who has developed her own Self-worth change who she is and give up autonomy (as Kate has) just to marry? How incredibly wrong. Diana was used "merely as a means to an end" (Kant) and the Royal "company" are complicit in that. Once she had the heir and spare there was no more need for her. That is made clear by the king and mate now. Incredibly wrong. Why any British citizen would bow to them is a thought I do not understand. Tradition is okay, until we know it is wrong. Congratulations Harry. You are a teacher. Continue to pay attention to building your 'house' emotionally and financially so when you are older you can contribute to the lives of others even more You have already done that in many ways and I thank you. ... show more
