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.”

He inherited a whole bunch of moolah, too.
When are we going to deport this undesireable nitwit?
Hasn’t all of this been Standard Protocol with The Royals for, oh, I don’t know - THOUSANDS of years?
I doubt you were bred for Spare Parts, Harry. Grow up. Talk about WASTING an amazing LIFE and the FREE RIDE that was given you!
What a little wanker, LOL!
That’s what you get for marrying into the sick realm of narcissistic cesspool called HELLywood! Meg has poisoned this idiot’s pea brain!
Nonsense. The Royals have ‘eyes and ears’ everywhere, and if there’s any truth to this stuff, they know all about it and always have.
If I remember correctly, he wanted to, but the RF was still deluding themselves it was 1950s England. Camilla was deemed unsuitable for Prince Charles because she couldn’t pull of a believable “virgin bride” thing. She had too much public “history”. Back then marrying her brought up images of Edward & Mrs Simpson and the mess it caused.
So?
Charles was blinking Camela.
Charlie didn’t care as long as it was kept private. What could he do ,. Prove was a cuckold?
And yet, the damage was done and ruined her life and made a mockery of Charles and the tolay family.
So glad my ancestors got on the ships so long ago.
“My advice, steer clear of using anything to do with the brain.”
You’re right and thanks for the laugh.
Good grief. Is Meghan feeding him all of that dark nonsense?
I think it’s a good thing they don’t have to have a spare brain. Because Harry’s doesn’t seem in very good condition.
Love that song, and totally appropriate here. HaHa Ho Ho.
Diana would have presented - and now Harry and the American bitch have presented also - concerns for national security.
Trust me - whatever there was to know, they’ve always known. There would be nothing that ‘only Diana and her lovers would know for sure.’
What a drama queen.
He’s nuts.
W? T? H??????
He’s stupid. And he’s letting someone even more stupid but a lot more canny lead him around by the...’nose’.
Harry, so what if you’re just a “spare” with respect to the throne? That leaves you no worst off than the rest of us who also have no chance of becomming king.
Nothing was ever standing in your way of having a good career in any number of fields. To bad you chose to become such a wimp and professional cry baby.
Did I say they were good? I only pointed out that the British couldn't survive without their monarchy. They'd killed their King, then found out they couldn't live without them.
Oh they could have. But they weren’t willing to do what was necessary. Monarchy is so easy, put that guy in charge, let power transfer venerially and move on. Self governance is work.
