"Spare" is split into three main parts, each focusing on different aspects of Prince Harry's life. The first part delves into his childhood, including the loss of his mother, Diana, and his time at Eton. The second part covers his young adulthood, his military career, and his struggle with the paparazzi. In the third part, he discusses his relationship with Meghan, his family, and his becoming a father. The book explores themes of trauma, betrayal, and loss that are relatable to many people.
Throughout the book, Prince Harry discusses the dysfunction and emotional poverty of his family, which often used the press as a weapon against each other and the world. He also reflects on his own personal life, including his struggle with self-esteem due to being "The Spare" and feeling misunderstood and devalued by his family. The book is emotional, raw, funny, and insightful.
The book also highlights Prince Harry's public and charitable work, as well as his military career, which was heavily impacted by the paparazzi. The press subjected him and those closest to him to abuse, lies, and racism, leading to his girlfriend at the time, Chelsea, breaking up with him after discovering a tracking device on her car and putting his military unit in Afghanistan in danger. The book ultimately details his journey away from loneliness and isolation by relying on the support of others and finding strength in vulnerability.
Prince Harry loves his country and family, but his problem has always been with the press and the relationship between them and the Palace. He hopes that one day they will look back and wish they had been there for him during the second-darkest moment of his life. Overall, the book is an engrossing coming-of-age story that emphasizes the importance of finding one's own identity and being open to new experiences.
