Spare by Prince Harry

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.
   Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old
Prince Harry was known as the  carefree one,
the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious
Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled
at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness
- and,  because he blamed the press for his
mother's death, he struggled to accept life in
the spotlight.
   At twenty-one, he joined the British Army.
The discipline gave him structure, and two
combat tours made him a hero at home. But
he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering
from post-traumatic stress and prone to
crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't
find true love.
   Then he met Meghan. The world was swept
away by the couple's cinematic romance and
rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from
the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed
upon by the press, subjected to waves of
abuse, racism and lies. Watching his wife suffer,
their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw
no other way to prevent the tragedy of history
repeating itself but to flee his mother country.
Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family
was an act few had dared. The last to try, in
fact, had been his mother . . .
   For the first time, Prince Harry tell his own
story, chronicling his journey with raw,
unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, 
Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-
examination, and hard-won wisdom about
the eternal power of love over grief.
