I never previously intentionally consumed media about the Royal Family. I just didn't have an interest in reading about them.

Then Prince Harry left and I was somewhat intrigued, but still not enough to follow the journey.

Then I saw this book and I read the synopsis and thought, oh his story sounds like it could be relatable. Not being astronomically rich but being the scapegoat, the black-sheep. Reading how he was really treated as a backup plan sounded incredibly intriguing given the context of his upbringing.

But I haven't even gotten through the first part of the book yet and it's unbearably boring. There are glimmers of this book where I feel empathy and compassion, but really the way this book is written overall was boring.

In between those glimpses of compassion I have for him, the book is a pain to read. So I'm officially putting this book down so I can move onto something that doesn't feel like a drag.

I really truely wanted to finish this book and I had hoped for an emotional book about growing up in such a home as his, but in reality it seemed like a hazy and shallow (perhaps due to memory as he stated himself) recount of some events in his life that may or may not have substance.
