The Duke of Sussex detailed his sentiments as a spare to his brother Prince William in his book released Tuesday. According to him, he had heard the word growing up in the royal household.

"Pa and Mummy and Grandpa. And Even Granny," Prince Harry wrote, according to Entertainment Tonight. "I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B."

He claimed he was there as a distraction, probably to cover up his brother's messes and as a potential donor for his sibling, the future king. Prince Harry felt that his existence was for the sole purpose of supporting the heir's reputation and health.
