Prince Harry's Spare is both heartfelt and, at times, heartbreaking. His raw honesty makes you want to reach through the pages and hug the little boy navigating immense loss and public scrutiny. It’s a deeply personal account that took immense courage to share, offering insight into his struggles, resilience, and the choices that defined his path. However, there are a few moments where his reflections verge on a “poor little rich boy” tone, caught in the gilded cage of his anguish. Despite this, the book remains a compelling and poignant read.

I’d recommend the first 70% of this book. It’s clear the author aimed to challenge the “dumb blonde” stereotype, and she undoubtedly succeeded. The book starts strong, with heartfelt stories from her childhood and captivating tales of her meteoric rise to fame, sprinkled with intriguing and humorous anecdotes. However, after her relationship with Tommy ended, the focus shifts to jet-setting, designer labels, name-dropping, and showcasing her impressive reading list, which made it feel less compelling.
