在哈利王子的自傳<備胎>中，哈利王子說有一次聖誕節，他的瑪歌姨婆(瑪格麗特公主)送哈利王子的聖誕節禮物是一支圖片中的biro原子筆，以下是書中記錄的對話:
In <Spare>, Prince Harry’s autobiography, he said once in a Christmas, his great aunt, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, gave a biro for him as a Christmas gift; the following dialogue is from the book:
I tore off the paper. It was… 我拆開包裝紙，禮物是…
A biro? 一支原子筆?
I said: Oh. A biro. Wow. 我說: 喔~ 一支原子筆。哇~”
She said: Yes. A biro. 瑪歌姨婆說: “沒錯，是一支原子筆。”
I said: Thank you so much. 我回: “謝謝姨婆。”
But it wasn’t just any biro, she pointed out. It had a tiny rubber fish wrapped around it. 她又特地說: “這可不是普通的原子筆喔~ 這可是一支有橡膠小魚包著的原子筆呢!” (橡膠小魚就是包住筆，可以讓寫字比較不會痛的東西，可以搜尋圖片 “biro rubber fish”)
I said: Oh. A fish biro. OK. 我說: “喔，小魚原子筆，好~”
I told myself: That is cold-blooded. 我默默在心中想: “真是冷酷啊”
Now and then, as I grew older, it struck me that Aunt Margo and I should’ve been friends. We had so much in common. Two spares.
哈利王子心裡覺得送這種禮物實在是太冷血了。但長大後，卻時常覺得自己和瑪歌姨婆應該當朋友的，因為兩人實在太多共通點了，而且兩個人都一樣是備胎(候補王位者)……
