Prince Harry Opens Up About Upbringing as a Royal

Prince Harry officially stepped down as a member of the royal family in 2020, but his struggles with the role began long before then. The prince has opened up about his unique life in his book ‘Spare’. Although many people assume he’d led a perfect life, Harry speaks about difficulties and the identity crisis, he had faced behind the scenes.

In his book, Prince Harry reveals the story behind his nickname Spike. He had earned it during a gap year in Australia in 2003 when he worked as a ‘jackaroo’ at Tooloombilla Station. One of his friends had shaved his head beforehand, and at that point, it was growing straight up in ‘spikes’. He said he even changed his accent to better fit the name.

Soon enough my mates at home got wind of this new nickname, and adopted it,” he said. “I became Spike, when I wasn’t Haz, or Baz, or Prince Jackaroo, or Harold, or Darling Boy, or Scrawny, a nickname given me by some palace staff. Identity had always been problematic, but with a half dozen formal names and a full dozen nicknames it was turning into a hall of mirrors.”

Although so many names could become confusing, he welcomed each one. “Most days I didn’t care what people called me. Most days I thought: Don’t care who I am, so long as it’s someone new, someone other than Prince Harry.”
