Book Corner 2025.22

by Prince Harry

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I saw this used and picked it up. It really wasn’t very compelling. There was much too detail about his army life (yes, I realize it was very important to him). There were disjointed anecdotes that went nowhere. There was TMI about frostbite in his royal nether regions.

I was interested when we finally got to the Meghan parts. Ultimately I am no more sympathetic to him than I was before. Which is to say, of course I’m sympathetic to being hounded by the press. Of course none of us would want that. Or to be lied about or to receive threats. Etc. But as I read in detail about Harry’s complaints, I kinda found myself on Team Charles – “don’t read the stuff, Darling Boy”. Don’t respond to it. You have to have dignity and rise above it. Do I know how I would behave in the same situation? Not for sure, but I know what my disposition suggests.

In the end, Harry and William strike me as very different people. It was probably inevitable they would rift in their older age.
