Harry continued, “I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy, I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow. This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”

As per the line of succession, Prince William will ascend the throne after King Charles, with Kate Middleton becoming queen. After William, the crown will pass to Prince George, though if something should happen to him, his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are next in line.

“They will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold”

While Prince Harry enraged both his brother and as well as Kate Middleton with many of the allegations and comments made in both his book as well as in earlier interviews, royal expert Jennie Bond says that the Prince and Princess of Wales “must be acutely aware” of the problems that could come with Prince Louis – and Princess Charlotte – being a “spare”.

“They have already shown that they have a different and modern attitude to bringing up royal children and I’m sure they will do everything to make Charlotte and Louis feel every bit as special, loved and valued as George,” Bond told the Mirror. “I imagine they will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold… it could be the military, but it could also be working in the charity world or whatever he finds appealing after his education is finished. I’m sure they will encourage him to go to University, which they both enjoyed and where, of course, they found love.”

The royal expert continued, “And from there they will want him to find a life that is meaningful to him as well as appropriate for the son of a future King. They will try to ensure that he feels he is living a life of value, irrespective of his place in the line of succession and that will probably involve service of some kind as they have emphasised from the start that they want their children to understand that having empathy with others is not only a kindness, but is rewarding as well.”

As the royal tradition goes, Prince William and Kate Middleton always publish a newly taken picture on one of their children’s birthdays. It has been a highlight for royal fans, who not only get to see their favorite royals growing up through the lens but also the fact that the very talented photographer taking the photos is Kate Middleton.

Prince Louis – new picture revealed for his 6th birthday

However, for Prince Louis’ birthday, the feeling was that no picture would be published. When Kate posted the photo of her and her children for Mother’s Day earlier this year, it was the first official update on the Princess of Wales since her abdominal surgery in January.

However, things soon turned ugly, as it turned out that the picture had been poorly edited. The post was flagged as manipulated on Instagram, news agencies dropped it from their websites, and one news chief even linked the royal family to North Korea or Iran. It was pretty much only at those times that pictures were ever taken down because they were inauthentic.
