Prince Harry, 38, revealed he feels “responsible” to “at least one” of his brother Prince William’s children because he believes they will end up being a “surrogate” like him. The Duke of Sussex admitted to speaking to his 40-year-old sibling about his concerns, but told him not to worry in a new interview. “As I well know in my family, if it’s not us,” he said while pointing to his chest, “it’s going to be someone else,” Harry, who published his memoir Spare last week, told The Telegraph .

“And although William and I have spoken about it once or twice and he has made it very clear to me that his children are not my responsibility, I still feel responsible because I know that out of those three children at least one will end like me, the replacement,” he added. “And that hurts, that worries me.”

William is the father of his first-born, Prince George, 9, who succeeds him in line to the throne, and his second- and third-born children, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4. Harry’s comments about them come after he opened up about his own struggles growing up as a “surrogate” son when he was born after William. He also opened up about his tumultuous relationship with his brother, which once included an alleged fight that resulted in Harry being grabbed by the collar and thrown to the ground.
Harry’s latest concern for his niece and nephew comes a few years after he first spoke publicly about his relationship with William’s eldest son shortly after his birth in 2013. He said he wants to “make sure he has a good upbringing and keep him out of harm’s way and make sure he’s having fun.”

“I’ll leave the rest to the parents,” he added, joking, “I just hope my brother knows how expensive my babysitting fees are.”
Despite all the headlines Harry is making with his tell-all book, which also details the issues that led him and his wife Meghan Markle to decide to leave royal working life for a more secluded and private life in California, William and other members of the royal family have not commented publicly. William was recently asked if he had read the book during a performance with his wife Kate Middleton at the Open Door charity in Merseyside, England, and he ignored the question.
