In an already tumultuous relationship with the Royal Family, Prince Harry now faces another emotional ordeal, stemming from a revealing interview by his late mother, Princess Diana. In a recent British TV documentary, Diana's voice is heard saying that Prince Charles was "disappointed" with Harry's birth, a comment that has reportedly sent shockwaves through the Duke of Sussex.
The aired segment is part of seven hours of taped conversations between Diana and author Andrew Morton for his 1992 biography, "Diana: Her True Story." In a particularly heart-wrenching revelation, Diana recounts an incident where Charles expressed his disappointment to Diana's stepmother, Raine Spencer, post Harry's christening. Diana is heard saying, "Charles went up to Mummy and said, 'You know, we were so disappointed. We thought it would be a girl.'"
Royal observers believe this revelation has added more weight to the already strained relationship between Harry and his family, especially in light of his recent move to the U.S. and decision to step back from royal duties. An insider shared, "To hear that you were an unwanted child is a terrible thing. With his recent challenges and now this revelation, Harry is undoubtedly facing immense emotional strain."
Moreover, there's speculation that Charles still harbors regrets about his past comments. "I'm told he feels a daughter wouldn't have betrayed him as Harry has by trashing the family publicly," said a royal source.
Beyond these familial revelations, Diana also reflected on her marriage to Charles, questioning the haste of their union. They married when she was just 20 and Charles 32 in 1981. "Here's Diana, a kindergarten teacher. The whole thing was ridiculous," she expressed.
Recent reports suggest that Harry's life has been tumultuous since his wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018. The couple's decision to step down from their royal roles and relocate to Montecito, California, was followed by significant media deals with Spotify and Netflix, estimated to exceed $100 million. However, the Spotify collaboration has reportedly seen challenges, with some branding the couple as underproductive. Their Netflix agreement also allegedly hangs in the balance due to similar concerns.
A palace courtier remarked, "Harry's world has shifted significantly since his marriage. They seem to be living in a world far removed from the root of their fame. With his family relations further strained by these new revelations, Harry's emotional resilience will be tested, especially if his personal life faces more upheavals."
