In his book 'Spare,' Harry recounted a comment from his father, King Charles, at his birth, suggesting that he was the "heir and spare." In a subsequent Substack interview, he made alarming predictions about Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, expressing concern that at least one might face a fate similar to his own.
While Harry's words seemed like a warning for the Prince and Princess of Wales, global parenting expert Jo Frost challenges this narrative. Frost contends that William and Catherine prioritize nurturing sibling relationships, rejecting the notion of an 'heir and spare' dynamic in their family. She emphasizes the importance of all three children, signaling early signs of mutual support and teamwork.
Frost takes a subtle dig at Harry, implying that in William and Kate's family, it's not about being the 'heir and spare,' but rather recognizing the significance of each child's role in upholding the crown and monarchy. She points to the family's understanding that it takes a collective effort.
Regarding the potential attendance of George, Charlotte, and Louis at Marlborough College, Frost sees it as a plausible choice, given its co-ed environment and the opportunity for all siblings to benefit.
Amid the ongoing controversy, Harry's stark reflections on his role as the "spare" continue to raise questions about royal dynamics and the future roles of William and Kate's children.
