Interesting

I guess I have a soft spot for Harry going back to Diana's death. Whatever you might think about her circumstances, the sorrow is that two little boys lost their mother in a storm of shocking publicity.
One cannot forget the funeral procession scene and that heart tearing single word on Diana's coffin, 'Mummy', placed their by the very young Harry.
All that being said this biography about Harry is just one of many, neither better or less than the other and really, you get little more from this than you would from another form of media.
I was interested in reading about Harry. I wonder what he will do with his life.
I appreciated Junor's last line, 'He may say he's a child at heart, but he's a child with a very old soul.'
I am hopeful that the best for Harry is to come.

Junor is familiar with the details of royal personages so well-qualified to write this biography of Prince Harry. As in most writing about anyone near to her, Princess Diana was mentioned often, maybe too often in the first quarter of the book, although much of it was necessary to describe the prince's upbringing. When describing events around stories that hit the headlines, Junor was able to add enough details to cast a different light on things. My biggest criticism of the book was that I couldn't keep track of who was speaking and often had to double back to the first mention. Overall, I thought it well-done, balanced, and written without any blatant partiality or prejudice. Harry seems to have turned out the kind of son any parent (or grandparent) would be proud of: courteous, considerate, hard-working and loyal. As Junor says "Harry sprinkles fairy dust wherever he goes. He charms and delights and leaves the room a better place for his having been there. And, to children, he's like the Pied Piper." This isn't any different to what I already believed, but Junor provided the nitty gritty details to back it up. I enjoyed this book. ( )
