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.

It very important to say at the beginning of this review that this book wasn’t written by Prince Harry but rather it was written by a ghost-writer named J.R. Moehringer.

This book being written by a ghostwriter is the first red flag about this book. Because during the release of this book, there was one interview with Prince Harry where he said that he have written this book himself which was bull shit because it wasn’t written by him.

The another red flag about this book is how Prince Harry is trying to paint himself as the angel amongst humans who have never done anything bad in his entire life. And instead he is painting Prince William as the devil who is the ultimately evil and jealous person.

The third flag in this book is that Prince Harry paints himself as the victim of everything rather than admitting to his own mistakes. Like that time when he went naked and smoked Pot in Las Vegas, in this book he says that he didn’t want to do it but his friends and alcohol made him do it. Jesus, take some damn responsibility for your own actions and don’t play the victim card.

In this book Prince Harry also talks the majority of the time how much he is insulted about having a role in the royal family but that role not being the primary role. And very good example of this is already at the beginning of this book at page 6. This part really made me pissed off, because most of us aren’t born into the royal family and not get to live in castles, travel the world, get paid for doing nothing but we don’t complain about this. But Prince Harry complains that he gets to do anything he wants to, and where money isn’t a problem for him but not get to be a king. 

When we get to the last part of this book, Prince Harry starts to complain how his brother Prince William and his wife didn’t answer his text immediately after he had texted either of them. I don’t know if Prince Harry understand this but people get very busy at times and can’t answer your text or call right away. Prince William and his wife have kids and probably have things to do which means that they can’t always answer him right away.

Another red flag about this book is how he tried to portray himself as the true heir of Diana. Because there are many times where this book goes “I inherit this from her, my eye colour is just like hers, I have the same passions as her and I don’t like the same things as her”. This really make me sad for him, because of how pathetic he is. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
