I expected this to be a whiney complaining book about how Prince Harry was the “Spare”... but I didn't find it to be that way. I think that Harry embraced his role as the spare, but felt hobbled by that role at the same time. He wanted to do his own thing, and do good in the world. He was kept “in his place” though, by the position he was born into. I felt sorry for him. I still do. But I also applaud him for having the bravery to step out from under the shadow that he was born under.
