Bower disagreed, saying: “Well, he hasn’t, because when he comes here, he becomes a focus of attention.
“But of course, he is spare to Meghan or was, in her attempt to become the great television homemaker. But her series, her career, is crashing.
“So very cleverly, Harry has separated himself from Meghan, as she did from him but she still needs him.
“And so you’ve got this couple in Montecito, desperately looking for a new purpose in life.
“Is Harry Meghan’s spare, or are Meghan and Harry the spare to the Royal Family? The fact is, they are both looking for a purpose, and all they can do is damage the monarchy through their activities.”
The Shadow of Spare
Bower’s remarks come after Harry’s surprise reunion with King Charles, their first meeting in 19 months. Their last encounter was a brief one in February 2024, when the King shared his cancer diagnosis.
Harry’s memoir, released in 2023, included strong criticisms of senior royals such as Prince William, Catherine, King Charles, and Queen Camilla. His claims extended far beyond the book, with further allegations presented in Netflix documentaries and Apple productions.
