He added, “They don’t want to feel invisible in his shadow.”
Prince Harry told that earlier this year The Telegraph that he’s worried about the other “spare parts” in the royal family.
During the interview, the Duke of Sussex commented that he hopes his efforts to highlight his own pain will bear fruit for the next generation.
“While William and I have talked about it once or twice and he has made it very clear to me that his children are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility,” he said.
“Of those three kids, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that hurts, that worries me.’

RWealth expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted how the Prince and Princess of Wales purposefully use engagements like this to get their kids used to being in public.
The expert said: ‘We know how sporty Catherine is and also how carefully she and William guard their children’s privacy as they grow up.
“It is therefore significant if they appear at sporting events. The interest is enormous, but appearances have of course been carefully considered.
“Attending sports games, where there is so much partisan enthusiasm among the spectators, is one of the most relaxed ways (George and Charlotte) enter public life.”
