The fraternal dynamic between Prince Harry and Prince William has become the subject of increased public focus over the past four years, with the publication of Harry’s Spare memoir in 2023 providing a raw portrayal of the brothers’ complex relationship.
During the process of writing his book and in its promotion, Harry said he reflected on his relationships and life events with new insight. Many of the revelations in Spare combatted the established narrative of his life story, one of the more surprising of which was the claim that he and William had never been as close in childhood or adulthood as the palace and media portrayed.
Despite this, in an interview promoting the book, he revealed that as a father he now understands William’s past behavior, seeing the brothers’ dynamic replicated in his own two children: Prince Archie (born in 2019) and Princess Lilibet (born in 2021).
