The Prince and Princess of Wales will assure their only daughter, Princess Charlotte, will have a different role in the Royal Family rather than a "spare", says one royal expert.
This phrase was coined by Prince Harry for the title of his tell-all memoir, Spare, in an obvious nod to the expression, the "heir and the spare", reports the Mirror. This turn of phrase is comparable to Harry and William, as the younger brother tended to play second fiddle to his sibling.
A lot of the book is dedicated to how this 'favouritism' behaviour has affected Harry as a child, and in adult life. And while discussing the book in a promotional interview, Harry voiced concerns for the future 'spares' of the Royal Family - Princess Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Prince Louis.
