There weren't really allTo be honest, I thought it was much ado about almost nothing. Most of the salacious bits were leaked before the book was out. There weren't really all that salacious. Three-fourths of the book are Harry's life before Megan. He spends a lot of time dissecting the way his mother's life and untimely death ripped him apart. He then spends a lot of time detailing his escape from it all...to war. Unlike some would assume, he is not hypercritical of his family. On the contrary, he's mostly critical of the media and its treatment of his family.
Ultimately, like many Millenials, he's dissecting his toxic family and trying to find a way through. He's on a healing journey and trying to protect his wife and children. He's realizing that the generally accepted toxic relationship between his family and the media has to be changed. Unfortunately, changemakers are never really celebrated in their times.
