The Royal Family is Trying to Avoid Another Bombshell Memoir After 'Spare'

The royal family isn't taking any chances.

After the release of Prince Harry's scathing memoir Spare — which came shortly after the bombshell Harry & Meghan docuseries — the royal family is doing what they can to avoid another revealing memoir from being in the works. According to a royal expert that spoke to US Weekly, Kate Middleton and Prince William are keeping an eye on their oldest, Prince George, and how he interacts with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In Spare, Harry wrote that his father, King Charles, once regarded him as a "spare" to the "heir" of his older brother William. Now, the royal family is ensuring that none of the royal children feel that way.

“[Middleton and William] have to think about George’s feelings in relation to his siblings. George has all this pressure,” royal expert Christopher Andersen told US Weekly. “He has these two siblings who can help him — who can ease some of the pressure and share some of the burden.”

He added that "by the same token, they don’t wanna feel sidelined. They don’t wanna feel invisible in his shadow."

"The royal family does not want another kid writing a book … another edition of Spare," he said. "Obviously, Harry was very hurt by being in the shadow of his brother. I think they’re aware of that."

Multiple shocking moments were revealed in Spare, but one that specifically stood out was Prince Harry's complicated relationship with his brother. He referred to his brother as his "archnemesis" and that "there has always been this competition" between them. More than that, the two underwent a complicated family situation — dealing with the divorce of their parents, Charles and Princess Diana, later followed by the unexpected death of their mother.

“The pressures that were on William and Harry grew so much from the dynamics in their family life,” Andersen told US Weekly. “The fact that Diana was so unhappy and Charles [was] in love with somebody else [was tough].”

Andersen notes to US Weekly that the “family dynamic” between George and his siblings “is much healthier than it normally would be in the royal family.”

To help to continue to protect the peace,  the royals were advised to keep George away from Harry, according to OK magazine.

"Kate and William are there to help him [George],” Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex's former biographer, told OK magazine. “But he needs to be kept away from Harry’s negative influence. George doesn’t have a dysfunctional family, unlike William and Harry growing up, so he should fare better."
