I think I was supposed to read this and feel sympathetic towards Harry. And I guess I did in some respects (especially regarding his mother and when he and/or his family are being harassed). Mostly, though, I just felt...bewildered? 

Things that I found myself questioning as I listened:

1. Why was this book so long? It really could have benefited from some editing...especially in part two.

2. How much of this is true? So, I am not saying Harry is lying. I'm really not. I often have this question when reading memoir, because relying on an individual's memory is tricky. I have plenty of memories that apparently "didn't happen that way" according to my mom/sister/etc. 

3. Similarly, what would other people involved have to say about the events described in the book? I don't follow the royal family enough to know if I am supposed to believe Harry. Like, are they all really that awful? I don't know what he would gain from lying about things, or how he could even write this without being able to substantiate his claims. 

4. Are any of my feelings about this even fair? Harry was born into this family. Into royalty. He didn't have a choice about any of this (versus, say, a celebrity). 

At the end of the day, I just hope Harry and Meghan are happy. Genuinely. And that the damn paparazzi leave them alone.
