Prince Harry was born on September 15, 1984, a second son for Prince Charles and Princess Diana after the birth of Prince William in June 1982. The Duke of Sussex, who turned 41 on Monday, reflected on his birthday in his memoir, Spare, recounting how his father declared to Diana, "Wonderful! Now you've given me an Heir and a Spare—my work is done." But while speaking to biographer Andrew Morton, the late princess shared her memories of the day Harry was born, revealing a surprising account of the summer leading up to his arrival.
"Between William and Harry being born, it was total darkness," Diana admitted to Morton, who authored Diana: Her True Story—In Her Own Words. "I can't remember much; I've blotted it out. It was so much pain. However, Harry appeared by miracle."
