This was actually the duke's nickname was actually given to him by his father, King Charles III. Prince Harry described in his memoir how his father reacted to Princess Diana giving birth to a second boy. Harry recounted his father’s words: “Wonderful! Now you've given me an heir and a spare - my work is done.”

The Guardian noted that Prince Harry has always been resentful of this nickname, a sentiment he expressed throughout his memoir.

“Harry's resentment of being the 'spare' is the underlying theme of his book, through chapters on his childhood, his schooling, his career as a royal and in the British Army, his relationship with his parents and brother, and his life with Meghan through courtship, wedding and marriage, to their own experience of parenthood,” the UK newspaper giant stated.

Jennie Bond, a former BBC correspondent specializing in royal affairs, discussed Prince William's character in an interview with OK! magazine. She described him as headstrong, stating, “William has always been a strong character. I think his broken childhood made him tough and resolute.”
