Prince Harry is facing his royal fate with new memoir, says Meghan Markle pal.

Royal author and Meghan biographer, Omid Scobie, says the book "shouldn’t have come as a huge surprise" to royal followers.

"Harry finally owning the term after a lifetime of being called it," he added.

The word 'Spare' is "one of the most defining aspects of his royal existence."

Mr Scobie said of the term: "A spare also carries a purpose rarely acknowledged by any royal or palace official — the resident scapegoat to protect the Crown and higher ranking family members."

Harry's memoir is out on January 10, 2023.
