Unheard tapes of Princess Diana claiming getting married to King Charles was ridiculous. That he wanted a girl instead of Prince Harry and how she hated her stepmother have been revealed in bombshell recordings.
The audio was recorded by Diana in the 1990s for her biographer Andrew Morton, who went on to publish the bestselling book Diana: Her True Story.
Snippets of the clips, which are set to air in an upcoming documentary and have been released just a day after the 26th anniversary of Diana’s death in a car crash, have been released in the US.
Diana claims in the recording that Charles told her mother Frances Shand Kydd at Prince Harry’s christening in 1984: ‘We’re so disappointed, we thought it would be a girl’.
Frances then ‘snapped his head off’ and told him he should ‘realise you are lucky to have a child’. Diana added.
The release of the clips could be especially damaging for King Charles because they came just a week before the first anniversary of the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Another clip reveals Diana’s disdain for her stepmother Raine Spencer, who her father John had married in 1976 after her mother Frances had left.
After John’s death in 1992, Raine left the family seat of Althorp due to the strained relationship she had with Charles and Diana. Diana is heard saying that she was so angry and that she told her that she hated her so much and that if only she knew how much they all hated her for what she had done.
Diana was heard saying that Raine had ruined the house and had spent all of her father’s money and that she had no idea how much pain mother put her father through.
Diana and her siblings are said to have referred to their stepmother as ‘Acid Raine’ and frequently sang ‘Raine, Raine, go away!’.
The upcoming documentary, which was announced on Good Morning America, US network ABC’s headline show, was a follow-up to the 2017 production Diana: In Her Own Words.
It’s expected to air on Disney + early next year. Both Harry and Meghan have previously been interviewed on ABC’s GMA.
Harry promoted his memoir Spare on the network in January, whilst the Duchess of Sussex popped up on GMA to talk up the Disney documentary Elephant, which she narrated.
The King saying that he wanted a girl doesn’t mean that he didn’t love his son. However, sometimes when the child isn’t the sex that the parent wanted, they never bond with them, and an unwanted child will never feel wanted because the parent will most probably pick favourites.
I’m sure that this would be extremely upsetting for Harry to hear and the King should have been extremely happy with what he was blessed with, two sons. Okay, so people think that Harry is a bit of a letdown, but nevertheless, Harry is still his son, and blood is thicker than water.
Just because the King wanted a girl, but got another son doesn’t mean he loves him any less. Wanting one of each is hardly a crime.
Some would say that it was time to leave this poor woman alone and her family in peace, but on the other hand, perhaps she would have wanted the public to know the truth, otherwise, why would she have recorded these things – for the public to know what really went on in the Royal Family!
Of course, things go on in every family, and there are loads of skeletons in one’s closet and people are noisy by nature. They say they don’t really want to know, but actually, they do because they’re curious and they want to know all about the Royal Family who are at the forefront of this country – let’s see how many skeletons there really are!
