Prince Harry The Duke of Sussex
About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Sunday Times Memoir of the Year 2023
It was one of the images of the twentieth century: two boys, walking behind the coffin of their mother, Princess Diana. Billions wondered what the princes must be feeling - and how their lives would play out from that point on.
For Harry, this is that story at last.
Before then, Prince Harry was known as the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. But grief changed everything.
At twenty-one, he joined the Army but was soon more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't find true love.
Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple's romance and wedding. But in the face of sustained press intrusion, Harry saw no other way to protect his wife and children than to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try had been his mother. . .
Written with raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is full of insight, revelation and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

Critic Reviews
What a breath of fresh air for those of us who are tired of being spoon fed false narratives by a greedy and immoral media machine.
LOVED it! Who better to tell the story of his life than the man himself?

He genuinely seems like a right dude. The type of person that under normal circumstances you would meet and instantly become mates.
The lives of those in such an institution are just so far removed from a regular existence. That aside, we are all still human and share so many similarities. As Harry says, their blood is just as red as everyone else’s. We all deserve the same human rights and being born into a public life (or marrying into one) does not wipe those rights away. Whilst many across the globe have their opinions on Harry and Meghan and the whole situation, I applaud them on going it alone, despite the family fall out and consequences, and commend them in putting their honest accounts of events out into the world to explain how and why it got this way.
The constant public speculation and twisting of things must be just torture.
I hope that they get the peace that they deserve.
Exceptionally honest account
