• Prince Harry recalls the story of Prince Charles’ reaction to his birth.
• Harry, the child of Princess Diana and the Prince of Wales, was purportedly a Spare.
• While the King was engrossed in his infatuation with Camilla Parker, Harry was born.

The moment Prince Harry heard the famed tale of King Charles’ response to his birth is being mentioned.

Harry, the second child of Princess Diana and the late Prince of Wales, was purportedly a Spare. While the King was still deeply engrossed in his infatuation with Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duke of Sussex was born.

Harry writes in his memoir: “I was twenty the first time 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 spoken in jest. I took no offense. I felt nothing about it, any of it. Succession was like the weather, or the positions of the planets, or the turn of the seasons. Who had the time to worry about things so unchangeable?” Harry notes as he remembers the day.
