In his memoir titled “Spare”, Prince Harry opened up about feeling inferior to his brother William from an early age, something that Princess Diana was very worried about. The nickname “The Reserve” comes from the words Prince Charles said to Princess Diana: “Wonderful! Now you have given me an heir and a reserve – my mission is complete.” This statement haunted Harry throughout his childhood and adulthood.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward said Princess Diana was very worried about Harry’s feelings of inferiority to William. She recounted a story from when Harry was in kindergarten: “Diana was very worried about Harry’s feelings of inferiority to William. Even when they were very young, when Harry went to Miss Minors kindergarten, where William had studied, the teacher said to him: ‘Come on, Harry, let’s play with this clay, William used to be very good at making models. there’. Harry threw it down and said ‘No!’. Therefore, from a very young age, Harry felt inferior to his older brother. It was not Diana’s fault, nor Prince Charles’s fault, but simply the feeling that existed in the boy.”
Since the release of his memoir “Spare”, the relationship between Harry and his father and brother seems to have worsened. According to The Sunday Times, the two brothers are said to have only spoken to each other for the last time at the funeral of their grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. Even, according to Harry’s memoir, they “only exchanged a few words”.
In his memoir, Harry also made many allegations about the family, including that William called Meghan Markle “nasty”, “rude” and “mean”, and pushed Harry into a bowl of food. of dogs. Harry also accused Prince Charles of refusing to let Meghan go to Balmoral to visit the Queen when she was dying.
A paperback edition of “Spare” will be released next month. Typically, when a nonfiction book is released in paperback, additional chapters or updated information are included. However, the paperback version of “Spare” will not contain any new information. The book cover will retain the same image but be redesigned.
