While royal fans enjoy these balcony appearances, often charmed by the royal children’s personalities, Harry revealed in his memoir Spare that these moments hold significant family memories.
In a touching passage from Prince Harry’s bestselling memoir Spare, which sheds light on life within the Royal Family, the Duke of Sussex shared memories that resurfaced after the death of his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth.
Among the cherished moments they shared, Harry recounted a particularly sweet memory from a balcony appearance when he made his grandmother laugh, despite the formality of the occasion.
“I couldn’t stop…remembering. Day and night, images flitted through my mind,” Harry wrote about the loss of the Queen. “Standing before her during my passing-out parade, shoulders thrown back, catching her half smile. Stationed beside her on the balcony, saying something that caught her off guard and made her, despite the solemnity of the occasion, laugh out loud.”
