Being considered one of the most famous families in the entire world, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the British royals are always in the center of attention. The media follows their every move and the public is more than eager to know everything related to their life, including whatever happens behind closed doors.
As we all know, the relationship between Prince Harry and the rest of the royals has been strained, and according to many, it all started the moment Harry and Meghan made the shocking decision to leave Britain behind and settle in sunny California.
The couple stated at the time that the reason behind their decision was to get away from the media and lead a life away from the spotlight. However, just the opposite happened as both Harry and Meghan never stopped giving interviews in which they revealed plenty about the life in Britain and the members of the royal family, even accusing them of racism at one point.
And then came Harry’s memoir Spare and damages his relationship with his family, especially his father and brother, even further.
Among the rest, Harry detailed a meeting with William in Spare during which he had called his wife, Meghan, “abrasive,” “rude,” and “difficult,” something Harry referred to as to “parroting the press narrative.”
Allegedly, things escalated.
Harry described how William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and… knocked me to the floor.”
“He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out,” Harry wrote.
Further, Prince Harry opened up about his brother’s children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and said that he fears they could “end up” just like him.
“Though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare,” Harry said in an interview with The Telegraph.
“And that hurts, that worries me.
“I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy, I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow. This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”
Although Harry’s book attracted both positive and negative opinions by the wide public and the royal experts, most of them agree that he shouldn’t have involved William and Kate’s children in it.
“Harry should lay off Prince William’s children. In fact, he should lay off everybody and button it now,” royal author Ingrid Seward told The Sun. “It is a very dangerous road to go down, to start talking about other people’s children.
“And what he says Prince William said to him is absolutely right – they are William’s responsibility and not his, so he should keep out of it.
“It is none of Harry’s business. But Harry has become dangerous to his family, and to himself, because he can lob in his little asides whenever he wants.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Jenie Bond told OK! Magazine, “Harry has a huge chip on his shoulder about being a spare, we all know that now, but he doesn’t have to assume that William and Catherine’s children will feel the same as him.
“Look at the Duke of Edinburgh and particularly look at the Princess Royal, they didn’t feel like the spares,” she continued. “They’ve gone out there and made it clear they don’t feel second-class in the least and worked hard regardless.
“Charlotte and Louis will be very important people with huge privilege and a huge platform, and so they don’t need to feel spare,” Bond concluded. “Just because Harry felt spare, doesn’t mean that his nephews and nieces will feel spare.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton has opened up about raising their children many times and said they do all in their power to provide them with as normal childhood as possible.
