If he writes a "fiction" novel about a beleaguered prince who escapes his evil family bc he's the hero, Immma need that to be a unity horse. Never. Someone will love it. Its me. I’m someone. I actually think I’ve already read that book.

I don't get how there could possibly be three more books. I hope he at the very least will get another ghost writer.

How did you all feel reading about him being denied four separate times when requesting someone to lay a wreath on his behalf for the fallen soldiers on Remembrance Sunday? This might be something you are well aware of since many of you have been following all of this stuff for years and years, but that was another thing that made me think the Palace is beyond ridiculous. Let the man pay his respects.

So I have reached the penis pages and honestly, it’s quite tame and mundane.

And the thing with the invictus games is that I don’t want to hear from Harry, I want to hear from the actual participants. Like yes I appreciate him promoting, as the founder, but I don’t need a book of him talking about his role. That’s not the important part.

I love this! I carried a ribbon with my dad’s picture and my grandma’s mother’s ring on my bouquet and it was my favorite thing I'm a total sucker for sentimental things at weddings. I love setting up memory tables and making them look beautiful with candles and flowers and signage. When I used to work in events/floral design, we would often tie bouquets with gorgeous pieces of vintage lace or fabric. We also repurposed dress fabric into handkerchiefs for the moms. I miss the creativity of the industry.

Okay I finished finally. And like many of you I felt like some stories have too many details and others not nearly enough. I felt like part 3, while stuff we’ve heard about, felt rushed to me. Meanwhile, while I know this makes me sound like a fuddy duddy, the multiple details of his drug use were just extra details that I didn’t care about.
I appreciated the military parts- getting a better understanding of what he experienced and how that shaped him.
And woof to Willy. Fuck that guy 😂

I would have liked less military stories and more Meghan/ the last part of life

The podcast Celebrity Memoire Bookclub has a hilarious episode on it, with Nikki Glazer who is so funny.
Not necessarily going to resonate if you are determined to love Harry without critique, but otherwise I think people here would enjoy.
Spoilers though, if that's a thing at this point with this one.

So maybe now that he's laid everything bare - literally - he can find a happy medium?

I would have liked less military stories and more Meghan/ the last part of life I noticed that very, very little of the book was set after they left the firm. Like, I think the whole part after their official royal engagement was about 50 pages or so. (Which, with his writing style is like 40 chapters but still.....) It's almost like "Hey, here was my public life - details you don't even need or want" but now that my life is a private citizen, I'm not releasing many details. I wonder if it is part of the whole taking back his control of the narrative. Or he way overestimated our collective interest in his todger and underestimated our interest in his and Meghan.

Why is The View talking about the pregnancy announcement at Eugenie’s wedding
WHY
This doesn’t help the over saturation of them but also it’s not them the book has been out for what 2.5 weeks now?

Like I wanted more about Archie and Lili. (ETA like his feelings about becoming a dad. Naming Lili. Not so much details about the kids themselves if that makes sense). And I did chuckle because George was a short “chapter,” Charlotte was like 2 sentences, and then 0 mention of Louis 😂

Plus I hated that the media acted like he wouldn’t be happy about having a niece or nephew due to being pushed down the line.

I would have loved to hear about naming them and what made them pick Lilibet vs Elizabeth or Lilly or any other variation.
