- Prince Harry “feared” that Catherine, Princess of Wales, would “take away” his brother.
- Harry admitted he “consoled” himself with the laughter they shared.
- I liked his new girlfriend. She was carefree, sweet, kind, says Harry.
The Duke of Sussex recounted meeting Prince William’s wife for the first time at the now-famous costume party in 2005, where Harry contentiously donned a Nazi uniform, and feeling a connection with her “heavily masked goofy side.”
He wrote: “I liked his new girlfriend. She was carefree, sweet, kind. She’d done a gap year in Florence, knew about photography, art. And clothes. She loved clothes.
“Her name was Kate.”
However, the 38-year-old royal admitted he “consoled” himself with the laughter they shared as he feared the day William became too caught up in his relationship to spend time with him, while he desired a “serious girlfriend” of his own.
Writing in his tell-all memoir, ‘Spare’, which officially went on sale today (10.01.23) after being leaked and put on shelves early in Spain, he recalled: “I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet,
I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it. My transparently silly side connected with her heavily disguised silly side. Whenever I worried that Kate was going to be the one to take Willy from me, I consoled myself with thoughts of all our future laughing fits together, and I told myself how great everything would be when I had a serious girlfriend who could laugh along with us.”
Despite being enamoured by Catherine – who first met William at university in 2001 before tying the knot in 2011 – Harry also claimed in the tome that his brother and sister-in-law told him to wear the Nazi uniform to the party.
