Prince Harry's Secret Meeting with Charles and William

In his memoir "Spare," the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, reflects on his emotional return to London for his grandfather's funeral, marking his first visit since stepping back from royal duties with Meghan Markle. This trip was significant as it was also the first opportunity for Harry to reconnect with his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William, following their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they discussed their struggles within the Royal Family. Harry describes feeling anxious while waiting for the meeting, fearing that his family might not show up. When they finally arrived, he noted their "grim, almost menacing" expressions, which heightened his sense of vulnerability. He recalled the moment he greeted them with a weak smile, only to be met with a cold response, which deepened his feelings of isolation and reminded him of his late mother, Princess Diana. The encounter was marked by a lack of warmth, as both William and Charles addressed him with the distant name "Harold," intensifying Harry's anxiety. He vividly describes his heart racing and the internal dialogue urging him to find strength, particularly from memories of his mother. Throughout "Spare," Harry explores the theme of being the "spare" to the heir, a sentiment instilled in him by his father. The memoir delves into his childhood, education, military career, and personal life, including his marriage to Meghan and their journey into parenthood, revealing the complexities of his royal identity and familial relationships.
