According to royal expert Tessa Dunlop, Harry has long identified himself as the secondary royal figure, commonly known as the "spare." Dunlop expresses empathy for Harry's situation, suggesting that the recent health revelation about his sister-in-law exacerbates his feelings of being sidelined. She points out the universality of familial dynamics, highlighting how individuals often withhold their true sentiments out of concern for loved ones' well-being.
Dunlop acknowledges that while Harry and Meghan have been vocal in their criticisms of the British Royal Family, their current predicament isn't entirely of their making. Nevertheless, she observes that the couple now finds themselves at a disadvantage. The title of Harry's forthcoming book, "Spare," serves as a symbolic reminder of the growing distance between him and Kate, one of the most prominent figures in the world.
