Prince Harryβs audiobook of βSpareβ has something noteworthy that isnβt in the print edition: His singing voice.
During a story about how he and his brother, Prince William, honored the 10th anniversary of Princess Dianaβs death, Harry explains how their motherβs friend Elton John turned down a request to sing a tribute version of βCandle In The Wind,β choosing βYour Songβ instead.
In the audiobook, Harry sings part of the famous tune β βI hope you donβt mind/ I hope you donβt mind/ that I put down in words/ how wonderful life is when youβre in the worldβ β effectively turning it into, well, his song.
Twitter user @Joelle_o posted a clip.
Some people were touched by the soft-spoken vocals.

Others werenβt as moved.
Good lord. I just cringed so hard I think I sprained something.

All these clips people are posting on Twitter are giving me life. I canβt tell if I hate it orβ¦ is it so bad itβs good? Do I actually love it?
