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.”

This guy is NUTS! and PW at the same time.
Geezus…Meghan really stoked this guy’s paranoia to divide him from every person in his life except her.. what a historic manipulator.
The cheese has slid off the cracker, on this one.
I think the cheese is sliding off Little Harry’s cracker.
Meghan’s “makeover” of Harry reminds me of what the Kardashians did to Bruce Jenner.
The only way he can find self worth is through Jesus Christ.
This healthy young man has not Had to work a day of his life.
Every foible, or muck up he’s done has been excused or covered over.
Every kindness and discipline ignored.
He’s had riches untold……opportunities beyond measure
And yet all he sees is poor little me
I thought this was the Bee. This is real? How stupid a statement!
When I was first told I needed a new liver, my daughter stepped up and had herself tested to see if she could be a live donor for me.
It didn’t work out, there was some criteria she didn’t meet. Just because one is a close blood relative DOESN’T automatically guarantee donor status!
What an incredibly stupid thing to say, even for that idiot.
Yeah dude could have had any of millions of chicks and he picks a snotty halfrican from Hollywood.
He would have been better off with a Kardashian LOL.
Yep. Which is who he resembles.
My parents had to have four kids until they got one who would take care of them when they are old.
Diana had a red headed brother. DNA is needed to ascertain definite paternity of this sniveling whiny brat.
Did his second child get born to offer spare parts to his first child?
This guy is a real nut case.
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...
Cats out of the bag.
The shark had been officially jumped. Marriage to Meghan has driven Harry crazy.
He has his “therapist” who goes to every interview. I have to wonder what kind of garbage this therapist puts into Harry’s head.
This guy is self destructing.
LOL. I could see an older brother saying this to a younger brother when they were young. The reply should be, Mom and Dad were disappointed in you, so they made improvements and had me.
The “red-headed stepchild” is full of hate.
“Harry boo boo” has real potential.
Well he has accomplished one thing, I used to despise his dad as a useless privileged clueless person but Charles is looking good by comparison to this guy. This publicity push of his is inescapable, you can choose to ignore him and still he comes on the news whining and complaining, and describing his brother as his arch nemesis? I think this must be a tiny taste of all those succession battles where family members routinely offed each other. There is a whole lot more Richard III than princes in the tower about this guy, yuck!
