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 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 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.

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

The calmness of William saying to the paparazi after the Opera Interview "we are very much not a racist family" is so admirable. Sounds like a future King to me.

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.

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.

Thank god, William was born first.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Harry, the fact that it happened so quickly.... Usually means you've been taken hostage

I think that Harry doesn’t believe in consequences of his actions, whereas William is very much aware of His duty. I am the youngest of three. Understanding the role you play in the family dynamic is definitely defined , whether you are aware or not, is always present. Harry should be happy that he escaped the pressure of being the leader/King……William on the other hand has the great responsibility of the people and kingdom.

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.

Prince William and Princess Kate is the future of the Monarch. GOD BLESS THEM AND FAMILY 👪 🙏 ❤

A clear distinction between the relationship that is William & Catherine, compared to Harry & Meghan, is that Catherine has supported William in becoming the best version of himSelf, YEARS before the married... they were still in college as friends, when she encouraged him not to drop out & to pursue courses that felt good for him... they are major support systems to/for each other, which proves the stability & security of not only their marriage but the example they are setting, including in how they raise their kids. With Harry & Meghan, she feeds his insecurities, his traumas, his fears... it's a trauma bond. 2 people using each other for validation... & I was initially very supportive of them, as many were around the globe! Their wedding was beautiful, & people lined the streets outside the church to be in support, for miles down the road even to cheer them on! So the fact that they have the nerve to keep using racism projected on the whole, is just mindblowing to me! Meghan loves looking like a victim & because of what Harry witnessed with his mother, his undealt with trauma is primed to be triggered by a woman that he loves even REMOTELY being the focus of scrutiny... THAT'S the rub with what makes their relationship so toxic & part of why the brothers' relationship has been strained so much. It's sad, but this is what narcs do; they try to separate you from the people who love & care for you the most. The ones that they can tell you have a meaningful bond with, so that they can remain your focus & get as much as your attention as possible. If anyone questions obvious codependency or red flags, then the narc will play a victim card to win over their supply. I think its a blessing for the British kingdom, that William is next in line, because he & Catherine will do an amazing job,

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.

When Harry wrote the book Spare, he was not a spare. William's three children were already born

William has always had to handle himself as future king. Harry, on the other hand, always acted up, no matter where or who he was with. He's still acting like a college student with his behavior. Now we see William's children's behavior and what an encouraging sign. Charlotte rules the roost which, like Anne, will be a good thing.

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!!

The worst thing of all was that Harry knew his grandad was gravely ill and in hospital. The whole family knew the Queen was ill herself and worried.The world was going through the pandemic..and STILL Harry went along with the treacherous interview..CAN YOU IMAGINE? What kind of human would do such a thing? He was paid for that…how incredibly awful..

Heir or spare I dont care!!!! The most important thing is that they came out from the same womb of their mother!!!! Got it?❤

Outdated - Harry has not been the "Spare" for as old as George is, becuz when George was born Harry as a "spare" became irrelevant! George is the next heir!

William took his time and married very well, a steadfast family oriented woman we have seen blossom into a charitable and fashion icon. Harry raced into the arms of a relative stranger and jumped off a marital cliff....hoping for the best. William learned from his parents woes, and Harry has seemingly copied the disaster that he himself experienced.

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.

Long live the future King William and Queen Catherine.

can we let those two brothers figure out by themselves without us judging?? they love each other, they just don’t like each other at the moment. witch siblings don’t have a fight? just because they are royals doesn’t mean they’re not humans. They will eventually figure out.😢

Thank heaven for Prince William. 👑👑👑

I truly believe William has it harder than harry. He gets over looked because he’s not as narcissistic as harry but William being in line for the throne is so much more stressful than standing around with your thumb up your ass being jealous as harry does.

In any monarchy the heir wants the freedom that a spare might have.

The freaking background music was so loud I couldn't hear the story 😢

The looking btw heir and spare such huge difference. Prince William is born to be heir. We are glad god chooses him.

I am a 49 year old from the U.S. I have no ties to the monarchy whatsoever. (As far as I know) I have always been interested and immensely respected the royals. Like many, I was so devastated when the world lost our Princess. I was one of theUS citizens who was skeptical but excited when Harry and Meghan started courting. However I had a feeling she wouldn't be good for Harry more than anything do the cultural differences I've seen that in my own family. Megan has no respect whatsoever for Harry's culture I was actually a fan until I realize the damage she has done. Harry I know you miss your mom but you have chosen evil over good and I understand your struggles even though I'm not a royal or a princess by far add me the same mistakes. It's so very sad so very sad that Harry allowed Megan to ruin his relationship with his family.

It’s amazing how one woman can cause so much damage to a family. It happens all the time. It happened to my family. My brother chose a narcissistic woman over me and our family. They divorced a few years ago and we have him back, but so much time was lost that we’ll never get back. My son grew up without the only male figure in his life, his uncle. It’s sad when I think back on it. Oh well, onward and upward.

It is si painful that many many think "por Harry, but never think that William was suffering the same or Even worse knowing he had to support his little brother. Harry only thinks about himself.

After talking about his brother's genitals, he has no argument. Absolutely horrific to still be playing the privacy card after that. He's shown such pure hatred "arch nemesis" and imagining killing his father, his image can never be rehabilitated as he is evil

Meghan was the worst thing that ever happened to Harry. She was totally unsuited to a life of service - too self-serving and self-focused.

The Royal family are human like us ,just remember this 😊

I miss Diana like the rest of the world. It was a tragic loss. However, how long do we need to rehash this? Let her soul rest in peace and Harry and MM need to stop cashing in on her tragic pass!

Harry seems to be influenced by the Hollywood, playing the victim. I understand his side, feel for him, and not judging him. But wow! Fantastic documentary!! Thank you!

Love between brothers are and will not be destroyed. Wish you all the best dear William and Harry. Your dearest mum Diana is always caring for you both.

I would think that being the 'spare' would be a better position, in my opinion. You get almost all the privileges without the heavy responsibility. Harry could have used his position in the Royal family to do so, so much good and he threw it away. He missed out on seeing it from this vantage point - he could have had a wonderful life....

Paul Burrell is obsessed with Diana. Every documentary about Diana, he always pops up in it

I feel Harry was always jealous of Wills. 👑 Wills has class, Harry hasn't..🥱 Wills will make a truly amazing KING 👑 I hope I'm still alive when it happens. God bless the Royal family. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Excellent documentary.

My heart absolutely goes out to both William and Harry. I was 9 when their mother died and vividly remember learning of her death , her funeral procession, and randomly, Elton John singing at her funeral. I lost my mother at 22, so I can definitely understand a bit what it’s like to lose your mother, though 2.5 billion people didn’t watch my mom’s funeral. I wish Harry peace. His dad made the woman who brought so much pain in his mother’s life, his wife and Queen. That’s tough. I wish he and Meghan much happiness going forward.

I think she was a wonderful mother. William has said so in many podcasts. All these podcasts help to let his children know what a grandmother she would have been to his children. Negative comments should never be made. If u don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say anything.

My heart goes out to both of them - they are like us, trying to navigate their way in the world through their own lenses. I wish we could put the journalists personal lives out there for all the world to see. Especially, Rupert Murdoch.

Often when people get married, it completely changes the dynamic. It happens in every family. It often depends on the new additions to the family and their willingness to maintain a good relationship between the two brothers. Hope they will find a way to reconcile. They are nice together. I wish all the best to this family and good luck.

Thank you for cutting back on the commercials. It did not go unnoticed. Can’t wait to see what’s next. ♥️from Pittsburgh

I think its telling that Harry claims that William and him weren't close like everyone else is claiming. I also don't believe a word Paul says either.

They are 2 very different people and their personalities shows this. No family is perfect 👌

Harry never complained about being a spare until he lost that position, with the birth of Williams children...or probably more to the point, when Meghan got into his life and experienced how that impacted on her status. With her around, him NOT being the heir became a big issue...and what followed is their never ending vitriol aimed at Prince William and Princess Catherine.

In the old days, Harry would have married a wife who set him up to kill his heir brother or who had him poisoned herself. This kind of royal dramas have been going on for centuries. Weak princes marrying ambitious wives.

I lost my dad same age as them, i have a brother too, if he betrayed me that would be the biggest loss in my life and I'm of the kind i don't believe people change. Once broken cannot be put together.

Megans creepy obsession with princess Catherine is very concerning !!!!

Harry and MM's documentary didn't mention how she told a friend that she ghosted that they were one plane crash away from the throne.

The wise people say, " Don't build up your happiness on someone else's tears" because it'll get you back. H&M could choose different way to build their happy live in their way. Instead, because of their controversial actions, they lost trust and respect in their both families and public.

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for the video!

Prayers for the healing of this FAMILY

And as it turned out William and all Harry’s friends who urged caution were right. Oh well. Hopefully he will find another way of making money than slagging off his family. Maybe, since “service is universal” they will consider doing something other than photo shoots.

Why make the music so loud that it drowns out the voices?

The thing is - all royalty aside. Who would try to take his whole family down like that in the public. Telling family related private stories and secrets and talk bad about family members like that?

I thank all the powers that be, that Prince William was firstborn 🙏🙏🙏

Family is special and people should respect that bond God gave families for strength. The family that prays together stays together.

The music is WAY too loud to hear the voices clearly.

William. The decent honorable one.

Harry pretends the Netflix show and his ‘novel,’ Spare is his side of some story, but the reality is that it’s self serving, egotistical, mean & grubby. He’ll never recover whilst the new royals will go from success to success in his absence.

How people have forgotten to be kind. Even at the highest of society. Sadly this is irreversible 😢

In the book of Anne Glenconner, Lady in waiting, it said that the her nanny, Barbara Burnes who looked after her children, then went to look after prince William and Harry and stayed with them since the princes went to school, so she didn't quit when william was 4, as this lady is saying...

You get those dynamics in other families not just Royals. Being second born is often different. The eldest is often treated as more important. Middle children are often scape goats or are ignored. Girls are sometimes treated as less important. Parents often like one child more than the others.

Im American and I remember going to pick uo my newspapers to deliver and reading on the front page about Diana's death. I was young, but I cried. I knew how amazing she was and I felt awful for the boys.

It blows my mind how people act like siblings don’t go through things growing up,I am praying that they stick together like Diana would want them too.

This would be a valid documentary if it wasn’t for Burrell claiming he was practically their father when he was nothing but a mere servant.

The media finally turned to brother against one another. A big congratulations 🎉👏👏👏

Team Prince William. He is a class act and made both parents proud.

Choose your wife wisely. A woman can make or mare a man. Exhibit 1: William vs Harry. One became stronger, happier, and calmer. The other became bitter, angry and had his paranoia fanned and fed. Sad

Oh my goodness! Lose the music! How distracting. Can hardly hear.

Blessings on the British Royal Family! ❤

Meghan accused Britain of being a racist country. This is not true at all. This country is the most tolerant one as far as skin colour or any other racial differences are concerned. As we all know the Prime Minister at 10, Downing Street is Indian. Mind the Mayor of London. How could Meghan blame this country? Unbelievable. She was a third - class actress, who became a member of the British Royal Family. That was great honour for Meghan.

Megan was NOT a movie star. I had never even heard of her!!!

So sad to see that a woman came between the brothers. Nutmeg is toxic, manipulative, and a narcissist. Harry looks absolutely miserable whenever he's seen out in public. He must have so much regret. He gave up his family, friends, and country for a woman who is a social climber and self-centered. I feel especially bad for the children. William and others tried to warn Harry, but Harry wouldn't listen. It's incredibly sad. They no longer have a relationship, and Harry's children don't have a relationship with their own cousins. All because of 1 woman.

Do you think Diana would be happy with gingers hatred of this father and brother? She respected the Monarchy as does William. #2 has unhealthy obsession with vengeance, he has the audacity to compare Diana with malicious Meg Allegedly

Looking at how close they were i think it’s sad how things have turned out ❤️❤️❤️

My husband's mother died when he was 7 he often talks about her ❤

Because of the way the monarchy is structured, I think it is what it is. You can say "what if" all day long but it doesn't change the fact that life has no guarantees. It's heartbreaking that they both lost their mother at such a young age, which could have caused Harry to rebel, possibly. And now he's totally distanced himself as far as possible from the royal family. His father never loved Diana, it was all just a mess. But the royals will continue on regardless of what happens, and protect their monarchy as they always have.

No spare at all!! Harry gave up all when he left with that woman!!!!!

They were always so close before Harry got married, it's a shame... I am sure William is going to be an excellent king.

Interesting how the Royal Biographer Penny Junor talks about Diana's sons walking behind her coffin, saying they walked with their father, their grandfather and Charles Spencer instead of categorically stating 'their maternal uncle Charles Spencer' or something to that effect. It is like a deliberate yet very very subtle way of distancing the two boys from their maternal relatives and by default throwing light on how their Father and Grandfather were doing the decent thing of walking behind the coffin. 20 min into this documentary and Penny Junor's tone, facial expressions, choice of words, sentence formations, etc set a theme of 'that incompetent mother and poor William'. While not a word of the boys' father and how he really was the main and biggest reason for a lot of that family going up in flames. It seems like a very effective documentary to lure people into adopting a certain mindset for and against certain people in the UK Royalty. If one is not observant enough - they'll get pulled in and quickly lose any sense of objectivity. Frankly speaking, a very public cheater and adulterer is the UK's new Monarch. When that itself is acceptable, anything else is paltry.

Penny Junor is one of the worst people to ever expect a non biased opinion on Charles and Diana.she disliked Diana and never misses an opportunity to express her dislike…

What I don't understand is why so much hatred towards his brother. It's not his fault he was born first that was a wise decision made by our Heavenly Father, nobody else. He knew Henry would choose evil. So thank God for that 🙏❤

the more we know about the bond between the two brothers, the more we tend to think Harry has been under pretty bad influence in the last few years! it is a pity!

I was a young adult when Diana died and my heart ached for those kids. But this: 8:12 I cannot agree with. My mother died when I was 13 y/o, after a long illness. I would not have felt my grief devalued if others were grieving too; I think it would have been a blessing to know that somebody else gave a s***. We weren't supposed to speak of Mum, & the lack of care I received after she died contributed to joys like molestation, neglect, drugs & alcohol use, promiscuity & the complete inability to trust anyone, ever. I know that these 2 fared better than that and I'm glad. (Edit: spelling)
