In his memoir ‘Spare’, Britain’s Prince Harry complained about being felt like an ‘outsider’ to the royal family during his bachelor years.
Along with the countless allegations and revelations about the British royals which Harry made in his bombshell memoir, the Duke of Sussex also noted the importance of marriage in the family.

Harry revealed how he wasn’t considered human enough and was always treated like an ‘outsider’ to the royal family for not being married until his thirties.
“It went to the whole underpinning of the monarchy, which was based on marriage. The great controversies about kings and queens, going back centuries, generally centered on whom they married, and whom they didn’t, and the children who issued from those unions,” Harry noted of the royal couples – more of power centres rather than love matches.
He penned, “You weren’t a fully vested member of the Royal Family, indeed a true human being, until you were wed.”
“No coincidence that Granny, head of state in sixteen countries, started every speech: ‘My husband and I…’ When Willy and Kate married they became The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but more important they became a Household, and as such were entitled to more staff, more cars, bigger home, grander office, extra resources, engraved letterheads,” the Duke explained.
“I didn’t care about such perks, but I did care about respect.”
“As a confirmed bachelor I was an outsider, a nonperson within my own family. If I wanted that to change, I had to get hitched. That simple.”
Prince Harry calls himself ‘The Plan B’ to William
To note, Harry married Meghan Markle in 2018 and was then granted the Duchy of Sussex and status of Household.
It is pertinent to mention that his book ‘Spare’ became the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever in the UK, and sold 400,000 copies across hardback, ebook and audio formats, within the hours of release last month.
The book garnered attention around the world due to its disclosures by Harry about his father King Charles, stepmother Camilla and elder brother Prince William.
