WHEN Prince Harry’s tell-all book hit the shelves earlier this year, it proved a devastating blow to the Royal Family.
So now, according to a royal expert, they’re taking big steps to avoid another bombshell memoir causing controversy in the future.
Royal biographer, Christopher Andersen, says Prince William and Kate are working behind the scenes to ensure Princess Charlotte doesn’t end up the bitter ‘spare’ like her uncle.
Mr Andersen, who penned The King: The Life of King Charles III, has lifted the lid on Palace fears surrounding the future relationships of siblings Prince George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.
Christopher told told Us Weekly: “The Royal Family does not want another kid writing a book… another edition of Spare.
“Obviously, Harry was very hurt by being in the shadow of his brother. I think they’re aware of that.”
The royal expert claimed that thanks to Kate’s clever parenting trick, 10-year-old Princess Charlotte will never be the ‘spare’ like her uncle.
The royal expert noted that there has been a conscious effort behind the scenes, particularly from Kate, to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself.
As a result, according to Christopher, Charlotte’s relationship with her older brother George “is much healthier than it normally would be in the Royal Family.”
While George is second-in-line to the throne, a lot rests on the little boy’s shoulders, but it seems that the Waleses want their three children to have a strong support network.
Christopher explained: “They have to think about George’s feelings in relation to his siblings. George has all this pressure.
“He has these two siblings who can help him — who can ease some of the pressure and share some of the burden.
“By the same token, they don’t want to feel sidelined. They don’t want to feel invisible in his shadow.”
Not only this, but it appears that the Royals have also been warned about George following in his uncle’s footsteps too.
Recently the Duke of Sussex’s former biographer, Angela Levin, made the stern warning to the Royals in a desperate bid to avoid George from walking a similar path to Harry.
Angela told OK magazine: “Kate and William are there to help him [George]. 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.
“Kate and William are there to help him. But he needs to be kept away from Harry’s negative influence.”
It comes after Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, when the Prince detailed his experience of growing up in the palace as well as his fears about Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis growing up as “spares” to George.
He wrote: “I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare.
“And that hurts, that worries me,” referencing William and Kate’s children George, Charlotte and Louis.
