- Prince Harry recalls how the media insulted him at Prince George’s birth.
- Prince Harry moved down the line of succession at Prince George’s birth.
- He was delighted for Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Prince Harry has been vocal about his views since his elder brother, Prince William, and Kate Middleton welcomed their first child.
The Duke of Sussex recalls how the media insulted him for moving down the line of succession.
In his book, he writes: “Willy and Kate had welcomed their first child, George, and he was beautiful. I couldn’t wait to teach him about rugby and Rorke’s Drift, flying and corridor cricket—and maybe give him a few pointers about how to survive life in the fishbowl.”
He continued: “Reporters, however, used this joyous occasion as an opportunity to ask me…if I was miserable. What? The baby had moved me one link down the chain of succession, making me fourth from the throne instead of third. So reporters said, Bad luck, eh? You must be joking. There must be some misgivings. Couldn’t be happier. A half-truth.”
“I was delighted for Willy and Kate, and I was indifferent to my place in the order of succession,” he says.
