About this listen

Prince Henry of Wales has emerged as the unexpected jewel in the crown of the modern British monarchy. Despite his unruly antics, for which he’s made headlines all over the world, Harry’s popularity rivals that of the Queen herself. Heartthrob and loveable rogue, he has won the public’s heart.

Duncan Larcombe’s insightful and highly entertaining biography of the rebellious royal recalls Harry’s Eton days, his military career and his tempestuous love life. Despite a string of exploits (not forgetting the notorious Nazi fancy dress incident), Harry has a mysterious gift. With a twinkle in his eye and natural charm in abundance, he can seemingly withstand even the most scandalous of media storms.

Since his military career has ended, all eyes are on Harry wondering what life, career and love have in store for the maverick prince. This is the inside story of how the cheeky teenager has grown and matured into a respected soldier, charitable fundraiser and national figurehead who still retains his reputation as the most entertaining resident of Buckingham Palace.

Some statements are too repetitive

Some statements are subject to much repetition; the book would be better, albeit shorter, without them. However, it is generally interesting. Good job.

Maybe the book was written way too soon?

It's not that the book itself is bad or uninteresting but it is somewhat repetitive and to a certain extent even boring - it's basically about his relationship with Chelsea and his military career. There are other episodes as well, but the vast majority is that, which made the last 4 hours not exciting at all.
Of course, there are some scandalous incidents mentioned, such as the Nazi costume and hotel picture but if anything, it only shows how young the Prince still is and how much he has yet to develop and and achieve. Overally speaking, those moments however are not enough to keep the book from blending into a monotonous narration. In fact, they could be consider unfortunate consequences a life in a saturated digital society, representing more a privacy breakage rather than a wish for exposition.
One honorable aspect of the book through is the amount of respect for Harry and the Royal Family; even during the most turbulent times the author doesn't make use of sensationalism and tries to deliver the information as impartially as possible, something I highly admire.
If the book was written in ten or fifteen years from now, or perhaps had half the size, I believe would be much more interesting and dynamic, but as it is, it's a solid 3 out of 5. Doesn't mean you shouldn't get the book. It just won't be a thrilling reading from beginning to end.
