Prince William and Kate Middleton intend to spare Prince Louis from the ‘Spare’ curse

Prince Louis, who is a much loved member of the British royalty, is fourth in line regarding succession to the British throne, which means he’s not likely to ever become the head of monarchy. Still, he’s expected to play a crucial role in the family when the time comes.

After Louis’ uncle Harry left Britain behind and moved to the States with his wife and son, the topic of “spare to the heir” has been brought up by him in his book Spare, and Harry even wrote that young Louis may likely experience the same fate as him as he’s not the firstborn son of the future king.

Among the rest, Harry spoke of his niece and nephews, saying that he wasn’t invited to William and Kate’s home as much as he wished to after Prince George’s birth, adding that he fears Charlotte and Louis could “end up” just like him.

“Though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare,” Harry said in an interview with The Telegraph.

“And that hurts, that worries me.

“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.”

Those commenting on the claims agreed that Harry’s revelations regarding his family are one things, but speaking of his brother’s children is something he shouldn’t have dared to do.

“Harry should lay off Prince William’s children. In fact, he should lay off everybody and button it now,” royal author Ingrid Seward told The Sun. “It is a very dangerous road to go down, to start talking about other people’s children.

“And what he says Prince William said to him is absolutely right – they are William’s responsibility and not his, so he should keep out of it.

“It is none of Harry’s business. But Harry has become dangerous to his family, and to himself, because he can lob in his little asides whenever he wants.”

With royal experts stating that the Duke crossed the line, William and Kate are in fact now trying to do something about avoiding Louis ever feel the way Harry has.

Royal expert Jennie Bond believes that the Prince and Princess of Wales have “a modern attitude” to bringing up their children and that they are doing all in their power to make Charlotte and Louis receive the exact same treatment Gorge is and not to feel any less special.

“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,” Bond told The Mirror.

They certainly don’t want Louis to feel any less valued only because of his place on the line of succession.

Of course, if in the future Prince Louise decides to remain a part of the fold, he would be assigned important roles and titles within the monarchy.

Despite this, Kate and William are believed that they would encourage their younger children to pursue their own careers.

“[William & Kate] don’t want history to repeat itself and Prince Louis seem like a royal hanger-on and go down the Duke of York path,” Camilla Tominey, royal expert and associate editor at The Telegraph writes.

“A lot of the more minor royals have got careers of their own so they aren’t really being tax payer funded,” she continued. “The extent to which the Cambridges have tried to normalise the lives of their children very much points in the direction of – yes, Prince George has his destiny mapped out but Princess Charlotte and Louis’ having their own careers?’”

We are yet to witness what future holds for young Prince Louis. One thing is certain, he’s loved by the public and will always remain a crucial figure in his family.
