"Before losing his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince Harry was known as the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. Because he blamed the press for his mother's death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight. From the beginning, his romance with Meghan was preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Here Prince Harry tells his own story: one of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief"--OCLC.

"Hey guys, you might know me already from one of my social media channels where I talk about the highs and lows of living with Tourette's Syndrome. I've loved sharing those times with you and - as there are lots of things I can't fit into a 60 second video - I've decided to write a book! It's the full story of how I came to be diagnosed and how having Tourette's has changed my life. Writing it has given me an opportunity to talk about things I haven't felt ready to share before - for some reason it's easier to put down private things in written words than in a video! I talk about the many other illnesses I've been through and the dreams that it's affected - about my school days, relationships and my very lowest points - but I also talk about what I've managed to achieve in spite of all the obstacles. I hope it'll make you laugh and make you think, and empower you to realise that no matter what you're facing in life, there are always ways to deal with the challenges. It's also so important to me that people understand what life is like with a disability, so we can be compassionate towards each other. I've bared my soul in this book to hopefully help others to do this. I'm so excited (and just a little bit nervous) for you to read it!"--.

Brown explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla his wife, the tension between William and Harry on 'different paths', the rise of Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to 'step back' as senior royals.

"David Wilson has spent his professional life working with violent men--especially men who have committed murder. Aged twenty-nine he became, at that time, the UK's youngest ever prison Governor in charge of a jail and his career since then has seen him sat across a table with all sorts of killers: sometimes in a tense interview; sometimes sharing a cup of tea (or something a little stronger); sometimes looking them in the eye to tell them that they are a psychopath. Some of these men became David's friends; others would still love to kill him. This book tells the story of David's journey from idealistic prison governor to expert criminologist and professor"--Provided by publisher.
