How Princess Diana’s Love For Prince Charles Died Following This Heartbreaking Incident

Princess Diana’s love for Prince Charles died after the future king told the late royal a heartbreaking statement. The incident took place before the birth of Prince Harry in 1984.

In the book “Diana: Her True Story – In Her Own Words,” royal biographer Andrew Morton said that Prince Charles’ dismissive remarks over the birth of the Duke of Sussex hurt Princess Diana tremendously. The Princess of Wales was aware that her then husband was desperate for their second child to be a girl.

But a scan already showed that the royal couple was going to have a baby boy. However, Princess Diana didn't tell Prince Charles that they won't be having a baby girl. “It was a secret she nursed until the moment he was born at 4:20 p.m. on Saturday, September 15 in the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital,” he said.

“Charles’ reaction finally closed the door on any love Diana may have felt for him. ‘Oh, it’s a boy,’ he said ‘and he’s even got rusty hair.’ With these dismissive remarks, he left to play polo. From that moment, as Diana told friends: ‘Something inside me died,’” Morton said.

According to the royal expert, Prince Charles’ heartbreaking reaction marked the beginning of the end of the royal couple’s marriage. But despite the shocking statement, the Prince and Princess of Wales stayed together until 1992.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles’ reaction to Prince Harry being a boy didn’t cause any problems between the two male royals’ relationship. But even though they were close, Prince Harry used to play pranks on his dad.

During one incident, he and his older brother, Prince William, let a stink bomb off in the hall after Princess Diana took them to the joke shop. After that, the royal siblings let another stink bomb off, this time at their dad’s office. Prince Charles reportedly became furious over what his sons did, but Princess Diana just got a good laugh out of it.

Last year, Prince Harry once again proved how close he is to his dad. He credited him for walking Meghan Markle down the aisle on their wedding day.
