Prince Harry’s memoir is going to be no less than a dynamite for Britain’s royal family. The name Spare itself suggests that the royal will not be holding back while discussing the traumas of his childhood and adult life. Since his birth, Prince Harry has been referred to as spare by the British tabloids. 

Prince William is called the heir, while his younger brother is given the title of being an extra considering the succession in the royal household. Meanwhile, what might surprise you is that not only the media but the royal members also called Prince Harry a spare right from his birth. In his memoir, the Duke revisited the conversation his father had with his mother, Princess Diana, following his entry into the world.
