Prince William feels “overshadowed” and “like a spare himself” as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle use their outcast status to win back global prominence, a royal insider has revealed.

Prince William feels"like a spare" and"overshadowed" by his brother, Prince Harry, and sister-in-law, Meghan Markle , after the couple's Nigeria tour helps them into the spotlight.

Reports have emerged Harry and Meghan have since been wooed by top officials to travel to Accra, the capital of Ghana, for a similar unofficial visit. The author said the Sussex’s “know they will be welcomed” as unofficial royals as country leaders “don’t care who is an official royal and who isn’t” so long as they “see a young, glamorous couple who have royal titles and fit the bill”.

Prince William reportedly loathes his brother taking all the limelight. Picture: Toby Melville/WPA Pool/Getty Images"Back in Britain and powerless to compete or to prevent his brother taking centre stage, William sees his role diminished. And he hates it,” Mr Quinn said. "Wonderful! Now you've given me an heir and a spare - my work is done,” the King reportedly said to the late Princess Diana.

An insider told the Mirror newspaper this month Charles's"ultimate" fear is the Sussexes will be seen by some in the Commonwealth as"more appealing" than actual working royals like Princess Anne and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
