Harry Love, life, and loss

The world has come to smile warmly at Prince Harry, the indomitable, ginger-haired second son of the Prince of Wales and the late Princess Diana. In the pages of this admiring but not fawning biography by journalist and royals expert Nicholl, we see Harry evolve from a cute little boy to a grieving, trouble-prone teenager to, after a decade-long stint in the British army, which included service in Afghanistan, a poised man on the verge of marriage to Meghan Markle. By marrying Markle, an actress, humanitarian activist, and biracial American divorcée, he will help bring the royal family further into the twenty-first century. Harry has found himself and his purpose in life, which is to carry on the good works his mother began during her brief tenure as Princess of Wales. Harry has stepped away from his years of uncertainty about his place in the royal family and his role in British society to claim his importance in helping support the House of Windsor in its continued relevance to contemporary life.--Hooper, Brad Copyright 2018 Booklist
