- Prince Harry’s book “Spare” breaking record.
- He discussed his upbringing with Prince William.
- He never asked why, but he didn’t need to, because he was considered the Spare by his parents.
In his book, Prince Harry discusses his different upbringing from that of Prince William.
In his memoir “Spare,” Harry talks about small injustices he experienced right away: “Balmoral had fifty bedrooms, one of which had been divided for me and Willy. Adults called it the nursery. Willy had the larger half, with a double bed, a good-sized basin, a cupboard with mirrored doors, a beautiful window looking down on the courtyard, the fountain, the bronze statue of a roe deer buck.
“My half of the room was far smaller, less luxurious. I never asked why. I didn’t care. But I also didn’t need to ask. Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare,” he added.
He continued, “This was shorthand often used by Pa and Mummy and Grandpa. And even Granny. The Heir and the Spare—there was no judgment about it, but also no ambiguity. I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B.”
