Prince Harry bitterly believes he was only bred to offer literal spare parts for his brother in case the heir apparent ever needed new organs.
“Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare,” the exiled prince wrote in explaining the title of his memoir, “Spare,” which was officially released Tuesday.
“I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B. I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy,” he wrote of his 40-year-old brother and current heir to the throne, William.
He said he understood his role was to be a “diversion” and “distraction” from his brother — or to provide “if necessary, a spare part” to him.
“Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow,” he added in morose detail.
He also noted how his dad, now King Charles III, could never be on a plane with his eldest son, William, “because there must be no chance of the first and second in line to the throne being wiped out.”
“But no one gave a damn whom I traveled with’; the Spare could always be spared,” Harry claimed.
“This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter,” he claimed of his apparent throwaway standing in the family.
Harry complained that the heir and spare clarification “wasn’t merely how the press referred to us,” but was also “the shorthand used by” his royal family, including “Mummy,” the late Princess Diana, “and even Granny,” the since-deceased Queen Elizabeth II.
He says he was aged 20 when he was first told that his dad had greeted his birth by quipping: “Wonderful! Now you’ve given me an Heir and a Spare — my work is done.”

A lot of self loathing in this ‘prince.’
He inherited his mother’s mental illness.
He’s suck.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THUS......................
In just a few short months, Harry’s gone from pathetic, to ridiculous, to absurd.
…or sick. :^)

This kid has extreme emotional problems. Sad!
Meghan did her job in turning him into a complete and utter pussy..job well done Meghan, job well done
I don’t know why he’s such a whiny byatch.
I would give my brother a kidney if he needed it. Thank God - he doesn’t!
But that’s what family does.
Man this guy is off his bean.
You have to admit, if you have to make a typo that was a pretty good one.
Oh man. I thought Meghan was the narcissist in that marriage, but maybe I was wrong.
Maybe this has all been a spectacular revenge plan by Harry...
He was bred because the court jester had died and they needed a replacement.
The whole concept of a royal family is a messed up thing. And I think it only gets more messed up the longer it lasts. The entire structure of it is just terrible, and being raised in that world just can’t do good things to kids. There’s a reason why the vast majority of the British Royals have been train wrecks for well over a century. Elizabeth did a great job of at least pretending to be well adjusted, but all around her were nuts, and unfortunately she contributed to a lot of it by raising her kids the “royal way”.
heh.. I didn’t even read it as a typo.
I am no fan of Meghan but Harry is a grown man and is responsible for how much if at all she influences him.
