The Duke of Sussex’s highly-anticipated memoir, titled Spare, will be released in January 2023. While royal fans have praised the clever book title, Princess Diana reportedly tried to shield Prince Harry from the label.
As the younger brother to Prince William, the Prince of Wales and second in line to the British throne, Prince Harry was oftentimes coined “the spare” by the press. Knowing that Prince William would receive favouritism for his role as heir, Princess Diana was determined to protect her sons from the “heir and the spare” labels they had been given, as she was also “troubled” by it.
