Prince Harry Moans his Childhood Bedroom Inside Castle was ‘Less Luxurious’ than Brother William’s

Prince Harry has recently stirred up conversation with the release of his revealing memoir, “Spare.” This book sheds light on several intriguing aspects of his past, particularly highlighting his longstanding competitive relationship with his brother, Prince William.

In his candid account, Harry reflects on how the sibling rivalry he shares with William is far from a recent development. It’s a familiar aspect of their lives that has surfaced from time to time, but it has been ongoing for many years – prominently featuring in Harry’s childhood memories.

Harry details in his book numerous incidents that underscore the nature of their early brotherhood, focusing on both verbal and physical spats. An illustrative moment he recalls is linked to his childhood experiences at Balmoral, where the disparity in their living arrangements was quite pronounced.

He noted an interesting contrast between his own bedroom and that of William’s in the expansive royal residence. Despite there being 50 rooms available, it was Prince William who had the privilege of selecting his preferred accommodations, given his seniority.

William’s choices reflected his higher status, granting him control over a more opulent section of the house. This included enjoying superior comforts such as a larger room, a spacious double bed, a well-sized basin, mirrored cupboards, and a splendid view of the courtyard with a fountain.

Harry describes his own space as comparatively modest and less luxurious, mentioning he never questioned the disparity nor cared to do so, attributing it simply to their different roles. “The difference was clear – he was William, and I was Harry,” as Harry vividly recounts.

He reflects on the inherent roles defined by their birth, where William, being two years senior, was inevitably the heir, while he himself was always seen as the “Spare.” This classification seemed to manifest in the preferential treatment experienced by William, even in seemingly mundane aspects like their living quarters during childhood.
