Eye-Opening New Details About Prince Harry's Birth Are Emerging
With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, people are looking back at the royal family’s history over the decades — and recalling Diana, the Princess of Wales, and her tragic death in 1997. Previously married to the now-King Charles, she left her two sons, William and Harry, behind. In particular, some saddening details about Harry’s birth have recently come to light, and people are beginning to understand why the young Prince has decided to leave the royal family behind once and for all.
The beloved princess
Diana was loved by many. Her public image and charismatic persona are still fondly remembered to this day. From the beginning of her marriage, she was active in charity work. Seeing her in a hospital or at any place where “regular folks” were wasn’t an uncommon sight at all. And her support of AIDS patients was revolutionary — and even somewhat controversial — at the time.
Raising the new generation
Not long after marrying Prince Charles in 1981, the couple had their first child. William, Prince of Wales, was born in 1982 and is today one of the most prominent members of the British royal family. Then in 1984, the couple's second child arrived: Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. Today, we know Harry for his marriage to Meghan Markle and the so-called "Megxit," which saw them leave the royal family.
The sad story of a sad prince
What many people didn’t know — and still don’t — is the unusual story of Prince Harry’s birth. Though this hasn’t been a complete secret, more and more details are coming to light after Queen Elizabeth’s passing. In particular, the book Diana: Her True Story by English journalist Andrew Morton is taking the spotlight online. It details a very turbulent relationship between Charles and Diana and how it affected their children and the wider family.
The secret that shouldn't be told
In the early 1990s, when the book came out, it wasn't easy to get to the bottom of things since the spread of information wasn't as direct and easy as it is today. It was also pretty difficult back then to get inside information on the royal family, especially something they felt like keeping secret. And, despite what some may think, the royal family wanted to keep plenty of secrets to themselves—one of the biggest ones being the deterioration of Diana and Charles' marriage.
