Explained | Harry & Meghan: Why has Prince Harry named his book Spare and the meaning behind it

Harry has planned to come out with his book on January 10, 2023. Choosing Spare as the title could no doubt exacerbate any deep tensions with his father, King Charles III, Prince Williams and his wife Kate. It’s been told by the British media as highly destructive. Prince Harry called the book Spare because he was the spare and his elder brother Prince William was the heir. The spare is often used for the youngest son and the elder one is called the heir. The eldest one who is the heir takes over the duties of the father when the father passes away and the spare is literally like a spare part. He is there to take over the responsibilities if anything happens to the heir. Now there is a technical error to the word ‘‘spare’’, as Prince Harry will not be able to be the heir to the throne even if anything happens to Prince Williams because Prince Williams has a son, Prince George. Since Prince William has a son, he goes down the line of succession and with every kid that Prince William has Prince Harry goes down the line of succession.

But did Prince Harry really write the book. According to media reports and The Sunday Times, the autobiography is ghost-written by Pulitzer Prize winner JR Moehringer. The report says that the book is going to be hard on Prince William and can be  a verbal attack on Kate. But recently Prince Harry said ahead of the book release that he wants his father and brother back. Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside.” In Netflix’s Harry & Meghan, Harry mentioned that William screamed at him at a family meeting at Sandringham to discuss Harry and Meghan’s impending exit as working members of the royal family. The book will talk about Harry’s life journey unlike the Netflix docu-series which talks both about Harry and Meghan. Last month Netflix released “Harry & Meghan,” a six-part series that detailed the couple’s experiences leading to their decision to make a new start in the U.S. Prince Harry had previously spoken about his relationship getting bitter with his father, King Charles III and his brother, Prince William. The Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan many have to say was like a one-sided story. The six-part series detailed the couple’s experiences leading to their decision to make a new start in the U.S. In fact, the docu series shows in detail the relationship of Meghan and Harry who left their roles as senior members of the British royal family and moved to the USA. They surely wanted to tell their side of the story and why they took the step of moving out of the royal family. It is very evident from the images and the videos of Meghan that she was going through emotional and mental stress because she was from mixed race and not a white. The Netflix’s _Harry & Meghan_ docu-series many royal experts say added fuel to the fire and damaged the relationship of Prince Harry and Meghan with the other members in the royal family. Let’s wait and watch what happens after the release of the book on January 10.
