Inside Prince Harry. In his book Spare (The Alternate), published on January 10, 2023 by Fayard editions, the youngest of King Charles III opens his heart to the major events of his life, from his birth in 1984 to his publicized break with the British royal family. Without filter, he recounts the death of his mother, Lady Diana, his violent falling out with his brother, Prince William, but also more intimate anecdotes, such as his first months of love with Meghan Markle and his moments of life with his children, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten Windsor.
About his eldest son, the Duke of Sussex relates an anecdote as poignant as it is surprising. At the time of the health crisis, when the borders of the world closed one by one, the prince, his wife and their children were hosted by one of their friends, the American actor Tyler Perry. In his home in Los Angeles, little Archie then began to take a very close interest in one of the paintings. “In the entrance, there was a painting that our son was very interested inwrites his father. Every morning, he stood in front of it for a long time. It was a scene from ancient Greece. Meg and I wondered why.”
“Goddess of the Hunt – Diana”
But after a few days of misunderstanding, the young parents made an astonishing discovery. “The following days, Archie would walk alone to his favorite painting in the hallwaycontinues the grandson of Elizabeth II. He stared at him and chirped as he recognized him. Meg leaned over to take a closer look. She noticed a plaque in the frame, which she hadn’t seen before. Goddess of the hunt – Diana.” An inscription heavy with meaning, Lady Diana being the late grandmother of little Archie. “When we told Tyler about it, he said he didn’t know. He had even forgotten that this painting was there. He said ‘It gives me chills.’ to us too.” So was little Archie drawn to the name of his Granny Diana ? Hard to say, but the anecdote is worth mentioning.
