Heir & Spare: William & Harry (2023) - FULL DOCUMENTARY

I Think sometimes people seem to forget Prince William lost his mother too.

We tend to overlook how difficult William's childhood was, though I do remember thinking that he seemed to be very shy in comparison to Harry and thought that he might find the burden of being the heir difficult, but Catherine has supported him and been at his side when he has needed her throughout an even more difficult period of his life.

It is sad that people who are leveled headed like William always get overlooked, they were both under the brutal spotlight all their lives and lost their mother, but no one saw William was suffering as badly as Harry and praise his exceptional capability to cope with his life! Spectators always focus on whomever makes the loudest noise in public!

I think it speaks volumes that William sought out that nanny and she was a guest at his wedding.

I don’t understand the fascination with Harry being the spare, and being overlooked. He isn’t the first and he won’t be the last. Anne was overlooked once Andrew was born, now Harry is overlooked now that George, Charlotte and Luis are in the picture. This is how it goes with the spare…as more are born in the line, they become lesser.

Loss and grief. My heart goes out to all children who have lost parents. From the separation to their mums death. One loss after the other.

I would think being the "spare" would be a pretty sweet gig -- all of the perks of being a royal with only a fraction of the pressure and responsibility.

I love how playful Diana was with them. Her cheeky fun side sat well especially with little boys.

Let's be clear.. harry ceased to be the "spare" as soon as George was borne as his direct heir.. In fact.. he was never even a real spare.. as William had George before Prince Charles ascended the throne.

Imagine being under a microscope from the moment you were born? I used to think being a royal must be so fulfilling and glamorous, but now I realize it’s a life filled with scrutiny, competition, judgement and gossip. There’s no amount of money, palaces, and crowns that would make me give up my privacy and peace. Peace & privacy = priceless.

I’m 39 & have just lost my mum, I cannot imagine the bravery of William! He was 15 🥲 hearing him talking to other bereaved people is inspiring ❤ I really admire him

I CANNOT imagine the vast amount of sadness that a 12 and 15 year old feels when their parent dies tragically! My mother AND stepmother both died when I was 27 (two months apart) and I had nightmares for two years straight afterward.

Megan was not a ‘movie star’ LMAO majority of ppl didn’t even know about her

I love the documentary, but I dont feel bad for Harry at all, people forget The King had two brothers, and the late Her Majesty the Queen had a sister, these spares all found their own lane and went on to have their own careers. Dont forget the daughter of the Queen, Princess Anne, who held the firm strong.

The day before Diana was killed, I was in a head-on car crash right at the top of the hill, a few hundred yards from my house. I was injured and was recovering at home in bed when my husband at the time, brought me the paper. I was shocked beyond belief!!

So much time has passed, but even today when I see how the two boys followed their mother's coffin I can't stop crying,Yes, they grew up, they got married, they have children.But that searing pain of what happened on August 31, 1997 is here.Diana was so bright and radiant that she can never be forgotten. Courage, Prince William and Prince Harry, you have a lot to accomplish and may you succeed in making the world a better place as your mother would have wanted.

Whats so sad for William is he has no sibling support, mother to support him and sadly only when his father dies he will be King. So he wont have any of his family supporting him like Princess Margaret for Elizabeth, Princess Anne for Charles. Like Princess Charlotte will be for George. God bless you William, thank God you have your cousins.

Paul Burrell gets crazier with every interview. W & H did not call him "Uncle Paul" and it was not his job to change their diapers.

William is kinda son you wanna have as a heir… he understands duty

I think they’re both perfect representation of how different siblings are. But we have to remember that throughout history, this was the way of it. The first born son was literally prepped and educated to be King because after he has children, the succession then goes directly down his line. Harry is not a spare, he’s just his brother. Now, UNLESS, something happens, god forbid, to one of William’s 3 children, Harry is now like 5th or 7th to the throne. I hate that idea of him being the “spare.” It’s just not the case. The only time the brother is the “spare,” is really only during their younger years before they get married and have children of their own. In extreme cases of death down that whole line, that’s when we get brothers becoming king, or if they’ve usurped the throne like Richard, or through abdication like their great uncle had done. But nowadays truly extraordinary circumstances must occur before Harry is in line to be King. Nobody called Andrew a spare so this concept of considering Harry that is a bizarre one for me.
