The book’s title refers to the phrase “heir and a spare” spoken by King Charles to Princess Diana at his birth. It quickly became a global bestseller upon its release and caused a stir within the Royal Family, as per The Mirror.

Harry shared in the book that declaring him the “best man” was a “bare-faced lie”. It was to avoid media attention on William’s two closest friends. “Willy didn’t want me giving a best man’s speech,” the British tabloid quoted Harry as saying in the memoir.

Harry shared in the book that declaring him the “best man” was a “bare-faced lie”. It was to avoid media attention on William’s two closest friends. “Willy didn’t want me giving a best man’s speech,” the British tabloid quoted Harry as saying in the memoir.

Officially named best man at William and Kate’s 2011 wedding, Harry even travelled with William to Westminster Abbey. The Duke of Sussex has stated that his rift with William deepened over a decade ago.

Harry claims that it was all for the show. His brother’s close friends, James Meade and Thomas Van Straubenzee, actually gave the traditional speech at the reception.

The younger brother was only asked to introduce them, not give the speech himself, as per the publication.
