Best 5 Quotes Said By Prince Harry In His Book SPARE
“I heard the story of what Pa allegedly said to Mummy the day of
my birth: Wonderful! Now you’ve given me an Heir and a Spare—my work is
done. A joke. Presumably. On the other hand, minutes after delivering this bit of
high comedy, Pa was said to have gone off to meet with his girlfriend. So. Many
a true word is spoken in jest.”
― Prince Harry, Spare
“The Heir and the Spare—there was no judgment about it, but also no ambiguity. I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B. I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy. I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion, and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow. This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”

“I love my Mother Country, and I love my family, and I always will. I just wish, at the second-darkest moment of my life, they’d been there for me too.
And I believe they’ll look back one day and wish they had too.”
― Prince Harry, Spare
“He assured me that people do stupid things, and say stupid things, but it doesn’t need to be their intrinsic nature. I was showing my true nature, he said, by seeking to atone. Seeking absolution.”

“I told them that I failed to see how speaking to Oprah was any different from what my family and their staff had done for decades – briefing the press on the sly, planting stories. And what about the endless books on which they’d co-operated, starting with Pa’s 1994 crypto-autobiography with Jonathan Dimbleby? Or Camilla’s collaborations with the editor Geordie Greig? The only difference was that Meg and I were upfront about it. We chose an interviewer who was above reproach, and we didn’t once hide behind phrases like “Palace sources”, we let people see the words coming out of our mouths.”
