Prince Harry’s Novel, Spare Brings to Light Very Interesting Facts

By Kate Peters -

There’s something magical about being privy to details about royal life and what happens behind closed doors. Everyone secretly wants to know what cake they ate at the wedding or how Prince Harry could have been labeled as ‘naughty’ when his life, especially as a teenager, was a little more colorful. As it turns out, royal or not - Prince Harry is actually down to earth and wants normal things out of life, and details from his novel, Spare, prove that!

Neither Brother Blessed the Marriage

As it turns out, Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, had one request for their father. After Princess Diana, the boys’ mother, King Charles III met Camilla and brought her into the royal family. William and Harry were delighted that their father was happy and was alright with her being around, but they asked him not to marry her - begged him, in fact. Although, in 2005, the couple had a small civil union ceremony.

Meghan Wore a Different Crown

In his novel, Spare, Princess Harry shares details of his family’s relationship with Meghan Markle and one detail he shares many might not have known before the book. At her wedding, Meghan was supposed to wear the crown Princess Diana wore, but after searching through a private collection alongside the late Queen Elizabeth II, she chose a different one. Harry mentions how the press twisted everything to turn it into a bigger drama than it was.

Meghan and Harry Furnished From Ikea

In Spare, Prince Harry recalls how different his and Meghan’s cottage was, compared to his brother’s lavish home that he shared with Kate, the Princess of Wales, and their children. He mentions how they purchased lamps and discount furniture from Meghan’s credit card, as his card was controlled by his father, King Charles III.

Spare Paints King Charles III as Tender

Countless headlines and the TV show The Crown portrays King Charles III as not such a great father, and the public was inclined to believe so. However, stories in the book written by Prince Harry portray him as tender. It mentioned how he would refer to Harry as a ‘darling son’ and cared about what was happening in his life. He also showed gentleness and love toward Meghan, which was heartwarming!

As intriguing and juicy as the royal life may seem to all of us - there is one thing that Spare reminded us of — the royals, more or less, are regular people with regular dreams and hopes, just like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who officially left the royal life for something a lot simpler and down-to-Earth.
