In his tell-all memoir, Spare, Prince Harry has revealed many things about his former life as a working royal.
Since its release, the book has sold over one million copies; it’s projected to become one of the most-sold books of the year.
In the biography, the Prince made several claims, as well as aiming criticisms at some members of the Royal Family, including his father, King Charles, brother Prince William, Kate Middleton, and his stepmother, Camilla. In addition, Harry’s included bits on Prince George and his experience in welcoming his eldest nephew.
When William and Kate gave birth to George, Harry claims he had pictured how he might watch George grow up. Sadly, things haven’t turned out as expected since then, and now, a royal expert fears the revelation Harry included in Spare might damage George in the future.

It feels like just yesterday that William and Kate walked out of St. Mary’s Hospital on July 22, 2013, to announce the birth of their first child and future King of England, Prince George.
Since then, a fair bit has happened.
Prince Harry recall moment Prince George was born
Recalling moment Prince George was born, Harry details the moment he became an uncle for the first time when George was born.
“I was an uncle. Willy and Kate had welcomed their first child, George, and he was beautiful. I couldn’t wait to teach him about rugby and Rorke’s Drift, flying and corridor cricket – and maybe give him a few pointers about how to survive life in the fishbowl,” Harry recalled.
In 2013, when he appeared at an event, Harry was asked about his newborn nephew and how he felt about becoming an uncle.
“When I saw him [Prince George] he was crying as all babies do, but it’s fantastic to have a new member of the family. I hope my brother knows how expensive my babysitting charges will be,” Harry explained.
A reporter asked him what his primary duties as an uncle would be, with Harry replying: “To make sure he has a good upbringing, to keep him out of harm’s way and make sure he has fun. The rest of it I leave up to the parents.”
Two years later, Princess Charlotte, the second child of William and Kate, was born. That entailed Harry becoming an uncle for the second time – though at that time, he was further from home than he perhaps would have wanted to be.

“I went to Australia for a round of military exercises, and while there, I got word: Willy and Kate had welcomed their second child. Charlotte. I was an uncle again and very happy about it,” he wrote in Spare.
Harry claims he was never invited to spend time with George
When George was born, William and Kate needed more space. That meant moving into Kensington Palace. Harry, meanwhile, moved into Nottingham Cottage, just across the road from his brother’s new home.
However, it didn’t take long before he felt something was wrong. In his book, the Duke explained how he was really pleased about moving into Nottingham Cottage, which was within walking distance of Kensington Palace. Or, as he described it, “half a football pitch away” from his house, where he also could hear William and Kate’s nanny go past with the stroller at all hours.
He said it was “nice to get out of the old place, but even better to live in front of Willy and Kate,” and he “could see myself dropping in to see them all the time.”
Harry dreamed about popping into William and Kate’s, hanging out with George, and “throwing himself on the floor” to wrestle with his nephew.
According to Harry, the reality was completely different.
“I took it for granted that I would be invited to their house at any moment. But the days went by, and it didn’t happen,” he explains. “I understand, I thought. They’re busy! Building a family! Or maybe… three’s a crowd. Maybe if I get married things will change.”

Harry and Meghan Markle have been very outspoken about what they think of the royals since the infamous Oprah interview in 2020. In December, with the release of their new Netflix documentary series, they continued to express disappointment over their royal life.
Harry might “damage” George in the future, expert claims
One ongoing theme is that Harry felt that Meghan wasn’t welcomed into the Royal Family. Indeed, the Duchess has admitted to feeling somewhat frozen out.
On Tuesday, as his memoir, Spare, was released, things took an even more dramatic turn. Within the book’s pages, the prince offered his entire life story from growing up as a royal, including details of what happened after Princess Diana’s d:eath, his experiences after joining the army, and the f:eud with his brother, William.
Furthermore, Harry also criticized several Royal Family members, including Kate Middleton and his stepmother, Camilla.
However, in the end, the one who could end up paying the most for Harry’s claims against the monarchy might, in fact, be the young Prince George. As per the Daily Express’s royal expert Angela Epstein, Harry might have” overlooked the damage he could do” to George.
“So given the way tragedy arced his young life, surely Harry’s concern for his own nephew, George, would be a matter of auto-fill. As the doting and fun-loving uncle, Harry has always displayed affection for his brother’s three young children,” Epstein says.
“So the possibility that George, as second in line to the throne, could be harmed in any way by the Duke’s rage against the monarchy should surely be a concern to him.”
