I started reading this book fearing it might be similar to all of the negative press and gossip colums and was relieved that it was actually a memoir of Prince Harry's life up to the present. Prince Harry had led a royal privileged life and experienced many adventures learning many life lessons along the way. It turns out that he also makes mistakes like the rest of us, he is human after all. I think what surprised me the most was the treachery of the royals and handlers behind the scenes. How a father and a brother could throw a son and sibling to the wolves because of who he marries is unconscionable and beyond being cold hearted. My opinion of the royal family has been drastically forever changed. Big kudos to Prince Harry for standing up for himself!
