Spare by Prince Harry

Wow. Wow is my first reaction after finishing Spare by Prince Harry. I've never followed the Royal Family very close. I knew Prince Harry and Prince William were in my age group so I was aware of them growing up. Aware of the tragedy they had gone through losing their mother.

The British press is toxic, vicious, ...
