Synopsis#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., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Discover the global phenomenon that tells an unforgettable story of love, loss, courage, and healing.

    Spare is worth the read, it's a great book, I like how it’s written in short chapters. It’s well written, easy to read, and so enjoyable.

    I'm still in the process of reading the book...but so far it's a well written story from the heart of a man who truly cares and wants a chance to live his best life. My heart feels his pain, Harry is well spoken, sharing stories from his highest highs and lowest lows. The life experiences he describe astound me and it’s not because he’s trying to make other people look bad, he’s just telling us what he went through and what it felt like.

  • Top critical review

    They should change the name to “Don’t Bother

    It’s a snooze fest. I can’t even get through 2 pages before my eyes roll into the back of my head and I walk away from it. I’m thinking about putting it on marketplace as a free to good home item.

  • For Mature Readers

    I was surprised that this was so well-written as the author claimed to be a poor student in school. While I am still in the first part of the book, so far I find it to be a good read. It is rare to get an inside first hand account of the inner workings of the British royal family. My heart goes out to the family members and their struggles and incredible losses.

  • The title says it all.

    I was surprised to receive a UK edition of the book. It contains the same script as the American edition but the script/font and the size of the book are smaller. Both are fine with me as I am from UK and delighted to have a UK edition. However, it was unexpected, as which edition I was ordering was not made clear in the offer. I am a very satisfied customer.

  • Interesting and insightful

    I have never paid much attention to the lives of the Royal family. This book is an eye opener and puts things in perspective. I am only half way through the book but hope the rest finds Prince Harry finding the peace he so badly wants.

  • Exciting Royal Autobiography about Harry of Sussex

    Prince Harry Spare is a great autobiography. The book is so good that it seems like you are actually sitting down and talking to Harry himself. His Highness is very candid and open about his life. He also gives insight into his family - his Dad, Brother, Mother and Grandparents. Even though they are the Royal family of the United Kingdom, they are still a family with love, compassion, and on the other extreme argue and agree to disagree. I do recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn more about the Duke of Sussex and his adventurous life.

  • Very interesting to hear about his childhood.

    I am more informed of what he went through as a child, the boys never viewed their mothers body and Harry had a hard time excepting the fact that she was dead. He thought for a long time she was hiding from the press. How very sad because he knew how she was chased by them all the time.

  • Great read

    Great read. It was his story told in his words. No sugarcoating nor mudslinging. I loved it. Prince Harry is truly his mother's son. He has her compassion and personality.

  • seems honestly written, more interesting than expected

    It is as if the Prince was born into slavery! I will always be angry at the media for causing Diana's death. Was anyone punished? Free press is important but is often abused.
