Prince Harry felt like a ‘spare wheel’ at events with Will and Kate: royal expert


We present His Royal Highness, “Prince Gooseberry”.

Prince Harry felt like a third wheel, and even “a gooseberry,” when he made official engagements alongside brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, according to a royal expert.

“Harry felt like a spare tire,” Katie Nicholl told “Entertainment Tonight,” quoting excerpts she read from the upcoming eye-opening biography, “Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family.”

The book says that Harry was unhappy for some time, Nicholl said.

“One of the themes that seems to be recurring in ‘Finding Freedom’ is that Harry felt like a spare wheel,” Nicholl told ET.

While the media loved this idea of ​​a royal trio (Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry), for Harry, it felt like a spare wheel.

“At times, I even heard him complain that he felt like gooseberry, the third on the date. It never quite fit.

Meghan Markle changed all of that, Nicholl said, again quoting the biography.

“I think while Kate and William went out of their way to make sure Harry felt like part of this team, this trio, Harry always wanted to be his own person,” he told the store.

“I think Meghan has been the catalyst to give him that confidence to break free from William and Kate, and break free from that trio dynamic, which was cozy and convenient at times, but it really wasn’t really what he wanted.” “

While Meghan has been blamed as the catalyst for the couple who left her royal role and moved to Los Angeles, “Harry was the driving force” behind “Megxit,” he added.

“She gave him new confidence, but I think the truth is that for a long time Prince Harry has wanted to go out.”
