    Prince Harry has allowed his “Spare” identity to dominate his life, causing him to view himself as a victim.

    Harry Believes He Was Born In Case Something Happened His Brother

    Harry made no secret that he was bitter about being second in line to the throne and not born to be king like his brother, Prince William.

    From the time Prince Harry was a child, he knew that his role in the monarchy was to support William, and he’s resented it ever since.

    Prince Harry's speech at invictus

    Harry may have done some good work with his charities and the Invictus Games, but as a member of the royal family, he’s betrayed and abandoned the institution he was meant to bolster.

    In his tell-all memoir, “Spare,” he described how he felt in his position as he wrote, “I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B. I was brought into this world in case something happened to Willy.”

    He continued,

    “I was summoned to provide back-up, distraction, diversion, and, if necessary, provide a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. A speck of bone marrow.”

    Harry’s whiny, selfish perspective hasn’t benefited his reputation. His insipid book is nothing but a series of endless gripes and complaints.

    Collectively, the royal family believes in working together to serve a common purpose, which is to serve the Commonwealth and the people.

    Prince Harry book Spare did not make his relationship any better with his family

    Harry seems to blame his emotional issues on his position as a “Spare.” He’s made an entire career out of playing the victim card.

    While his book may have been a bestseller, his behavior and constant criticism of his family deeply hurt and disappointed his father, King Charles, his brother, Prince William, and the late Queen.

    Prince Harry Experienced More Freedom Than William

    The editor of Majesty magazine claimed that Harry’s version of the story and victim narrative was “completely untrue” but that it was instead “how Harry chose to see himself.”

    However, royal expert Ingrid Seward said Harry truly believes he wasn’t given a fair shot in life. He was never happy in his position in the royal family.

    On the other hand, Harry experienced far more freedom than his brother. When he was a child, he got away with making funny faces at royal events.

    In his later years, he was allowed to mess up repeatedly. He was the one who was frequently photographed partying and generally getting himself into trouble.

    When Harry was nine years old, he told Willam, “You’re going to be king. It doesn’t matter what I do.”

    Harry often struggled in school, while William thrived. The Duke of Sussex also admitted he used drugs to cope with his unhappiness.

    Harry and William were exposed to killing animal at about age 15

    Harry’s discontent with his role as “Spare” only increased later in life. Many of the stories in his book were written to encourage the public to vilify his brother.

    One story described an altercation between him and William turned physical. William allegedly pushed him into a dog bowl, leaving cuts all over his body.

    To Harry’s credit, he decided not to update his infamous memoir due to his father and sister-in-law’s cancer diagnoses.

    The saddest part of Harry’s story is that his relationship with his brother, heir to the throne, may never be repaired, and he likely won’t return to the royal family.
