• Prince Harry’s anxiety was heightened by his impending birthday.
• Prince Harry’s anxiety caused him to question his identity and self-worth.
• Prince Harry hired “experts” to try to make sense of it.

Prince Harry recalls his nervousness as he approached his late twenties.

In his memoir ‘Spare,’ the Duke of Sussex discusses how his birthday caused an existential crisis with himself.

He began by saying: “As autumn neared my anxiety was heightened, I think, by my impending birthday, the last of my twenties. Dregs of my youth, I thought. I was beset by all the traditional doubts and fears, asked myself all the basic questions people ask when they get older. Who am I? Where am I going? Normal, I told myself, except that the press was abnormally echoing my self-questioning.”

He then quotes press headlines that have previously irritated him: “Prince Harry…Why Won’t He Marry? They dredged up every relationship I’d ever had, every girl I’d ever been seen with, put it all into a blender, hired “experts,” a.k.a. quacks, to try to make sense of it. “

‘Spare,’ Prince Harry’s memoir, is now available in stores.
