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

  • 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

  • Enlighteing!
Format: Kindle
Ok, to write this without giving anything away for those who haven't read it yet, I'll just say that I loved the raw, open honesty of this book, and reading about Harry and Meg's journey to where they are now. Harry has always been my favorite and now he's even more so. I love how protective he is of his wife and children, but it makes me sad and disappointed, and even angry at his brother and father for treating Harry and his family as badly as they do. And, I feel his grandmother, HRH, could and should have shown him more support. But Harry has proven himself to be the bigger man by far than his father and brother, and Meg the better, more loveable, down-to-earth woman than Kate has ever been. Harry and Megan are as "real" as any two people can be, and I'm so glad they're bringing up their children to be just as real. ... show more

  • A Very Worthy Read
Format: Hardcover
I was interested in reading Prince Harry's story but unsure what to expect from this memoir. It could have been anodyne, avoiding the elephant in the room concerning his family relationships. It could have been scorched earth. It's neither. Harry clearly has (or had) great affection for his father and his brother, and his criticisms of them are mild and/or oblique. But there is no escaping what happened, and when he does write about the behaviors that led to him choosing to leave the UK with his wife, it is direct, sometimes shocking, and utterly believable. Harry waited a long time to speak and he clearly has receipts. I found the chapters about Harry's military service among the most interesting. Clearly he could never be just an ordinary soldier, but he went through the same paces and journey as pretty much any recruit in many ways. This part of the story provides a compelling and clear context for his service and dedication to veterans and his Invictus Games endeavors. After reading this, it broke my heart that he was stripped of some of his military titles and was not allowed to wear his uniform to his grandmother's funeral. Especially when you see his family members who never served in the same way strutting around with chests full of unearned medals. I said what I said. There is some information in the book I guess I didn't need to know, but I understand why he included it. His life has been media fodder since Day One, and it's clear that people have been writing and reading twisted and even untrue stories about him for decades. I guess he wanted to get some things out there himself so he could say it in his own words, because he didn't get to do that before. The book is really a story of enduring and overcoming trauma, and how it can take years and a lot of mistakes, missed chances and side-journeys to do so. I was never a Royal watcher. I remember when Diana died, and watching her sons walk behind her coffin. But I had a job and young kids at the time, so I didn't pay attention to the family for years after that. You get a tremendous insight into how they operate reading this book. I would never, ever want to be Royal or raise my kids that way. Certainly not the way it has been done in Great Britain. Oh, and Camilla is awful. That really comes across in Harry's memoir. He doesn't trash her, but he is honest about what she did and how he felt about it. I would say she is the one whose misdeeds are really laid bare here. Even then, as I said, he is not on a war path or anything. He's just telling it like it is. Anyway, it's a compelling story about a public figure, a man (and before that a boy) whom people thought they knew but who has so much more depth and complexity than many believed. It's definitely worth reading. Slow in spots and with some details that made me scratch my head a bit. But very interesting and sympathetic. ... show more
