Only three black-and-white images are included in the book’s 557 pages, split into three sections. In the first segment, titled The Night That Surrounds Me, Harry can be seen hugging his late mother, Princess Diana.
A picture of Prince Harry in uniform offering a military salute can be seen in the second section, “Bloodied, but not down,” while a picture of Harry and his wife Meghan hugging can be found in the third chapter, “Captain of my soul.”
