Prince Harry's status as a 'spare' to the throne continues to haunt him, five years after leaving royal duties. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams notes that Harry feels targeted by the monarchy, believing the palace has conspired against him and Meghan Markle. Ingrid Seward points out that Harry has effectively turned his struggles with being the 'spare' into a career, particularly evident in his 2023 memoir. Despite advice that his life was better than his brother's, Harry's perception of his position has led to ongoing victimization and familial conflict.
"Harry is obviously obsessed with being 'the spare,' ... believes 'the institution' had it in for him and Meghan Markle."
"The 'spare' label took over Harry's life 'to the extent that he has now made a career out of it.'"
