British Royal Family News suggests that this is most definitely a problem that Prince Harry won’t have to worry about anymore. Reports indicate that the Duke of Sussex never liked feeling like the ‘spare wheel’ during his royal engagements and public appearances with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Of course, this was before his future wife Meghan Markle came into the picture. Here’s what you need to know.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl recently told Entertainment Tonight that the Duke of Sussex always wanted to become his own entity of sorts and was relieved when he found a girl like Meghan Markle that he could keep by his side for the rest of his life.
British Royal Family News: Prince Harry Hated Being The Third Wheel With Prince William And Kate Middleton
Speaking about the new book, Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, Nicholl said that Prince Harry often felt like the ‘spare’ in life and not just because he was Prince William’s younger brother but also because he never really felt comfortable in the William, Kate, and Harry trio that was presented to the media.
“One of the themes that seems to be recurrent in ‘Finding Freedom’ is that Harry felt very much like a spare wheel,” Nicholl told ET. “While the media loved this idea of a royal threesome (Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry), for Harry, he very much felt like a spare wheel.
At points, I even heard him complaining that he felt like the gooseberry, the third one along at the date. He never quite fitted in.” Luckily for Harry, Meghan Markle changed all of that when she came into the picture.
“I think that while Kate and William went out of their way to make sure Harry felt like a part of this team, this trio, Harry always wanted to be his own person,” she told the outlet. “I think Meghan has very much been the catalyst in giving him that confidence to break free from William and Kate, and to break free from that trio dynamic, which was at times cozy and convenient, but actually wasn’t really what he wanted.”
