«I know that at least one of these three children will end, it will be considered a spare wheel. And this hurts and worries me ». With these words pronounced in an interview for the promotion of his book SparePrince Harry had expressed a reflection on the fate of the children of Prince William within the royal family.
In recent years, observing Louis and Harry, many have noticed a surprising resemblance not only physical, but above all in spontaneous character and expressions. Just like Harry as a child, Louis stands out for that shy spontaneity and that “brat” side that often steals the scene during official events. Their faces light up with funny and fun expressions, like when Harry in the 1980s was photographed while he made grimaces or pulled out his language, a gesture that Louis seems to repeat naturally today and a pinch of aware irony.
These traits of liveliness and irony seem to represent a continuity between the two generations, an aspect that emerges strongly in family dynamics and media attention. Louis, like Harry, seems to carry on naturally that role of “Jolly” of the family, capable of lightening the atmosphere with his humor and spontaneous expressions. In contrast with the composure and seriousness of his brother George, increasingly similar to his father William.
There are those who interpret this similarity as a sign of a certain inheritance not only genetic, but also emotional and psychological. Harry, who has always been aware of the weight of being considered “the son of reserve”, seems to see in Louis that risk of being obscured or underestimated, with all the difficulties that derive from it. But at the same time, this spontaneity can also be seen as a gift: the ability to remain authentic, even in the most severe spotlight.
In this sense, Louis represents a bridge between past and future, a reference to Harry’s rebellious and lively character, but also a hope that this energy can find, over time, a more serene balance.
