Prince William reveals he was shy about Princess Diana as a kid

It seems that the scandals in the royal family will never end. While Prince Harry was writing his memoirs about life in the royal family, his older brother William decided to take a different path. Author and expert Robert Jobson has published excerpts from his new book in which he interviews Prince William on DailyMail. Is it a coincidence that this work appeared in the form of an autobiography of Prince Harry just before the memoirs promotional campaign, or did William decide to be proactive? We tell the most interesting facts from the trailer.

It turned out that unlike Harry, Prince William was raised in a strict manner. For example, during state meetings II. Elizabeth asked the butler to put a separate stool next to her chair for William. From the very beginning, His Majesty immersed his eldest-grandson in state activities. Prince Charles has made it clear to him that he will one day be king.

By the way, because of this, there were constant conflicts between the brothers. One of the family’s former chauffeurs remembers that one day they picked up the princes from school and witnessed a scandal. “They fought, they pushed, then William asked him to stop. And Prince Harry shouted to the whole car that he could do whatever he wanted. He said: You will be king, not me! Princess Diana and I looked at each other and raised one eyebrow thoughtfully.

William remembers Princess Diana letting Harry get away with a lot of things. To piss off the servants, she let him be a hooligan. When she was 8 years old, she advised one of the maids to lose weight and also made her school teacher attempt to take off her pants. “Princess Diana laughed when she heard this story in the principal’s office! And instead of punishing and stopping Harry, Lady Dee got caught up in this sarcasm.

The eldest son was always Charles and II. He was closer to Elizabeth and often did not understand the connection between Diana and Harry. “Once we were in a car with a nanny, mother, and a bodyguard. My mother started to play a rude joke and one of the staff tried to stop her: There are details that are not made for children’s ears. But this did not stop him and even angered him, he already believed that we can listen to everything. And when we got to school, happy Harry ran to his classmates and shared a fresh anecdote from his mother with all the juicy details. It was good that the teacher finally stopped him,” she says.

In general, Prince William admitted that he was ashamed of his mother. When she went to boarding school after elementary school, Diana worried that being too strict would hurt her. During this time, their relationship became “toxic”.

“He used to call me at school, sobbing on the phone and telling me horrible things about his father. I did not want to participate in their fight, I felt sorry for him, I wanted to mediate. But I also loved my father. I once asked that I stop speaking negatively about him, but after a while he continued, ”says the Duke of Cambridge.

The book chronicles the memory of former Dailymail editor Kitty Mooney beginning to sing a playful song from Prince Charles’ youth series at one of her dinner parties. Kitty turned to William and joked that such a father would turn red. He replied: “I am not ashamed of my father, I am ashamed of my mother.”
