What is second child syndrome, the feeling affecting Prince Harry?

Do you really know?

In January 2023, Prince Harry published his memoirs, in the form of an autobiography entitled "Spare". The book led to a lot of controversy, particularly regarding the relationship between Harry and his brother William, the future King of England.

A number of observers have suggested that Prince Harry suffers from second child syndrome. For example, behavioural expert Abdullah Boulad was quoted by the Daily Express and other media outlets as saying: “In the long term, Harry may focus for the rest of his life on blaming others for his missed childhood and life circumstances.”
