Why Lady Diana pampered Prince Harry so much: "They take care of the heir, I take care of the replacement"
In an interview with the British press, Darren McGrady, close friend of Lady Diana until her death in 1997, reveals why the princess was keen to pamper her youngest son, "as hothead as she" according to him.
It's no secret that Prince Harry and Prince William had a more than close relationship with their mother, Diana. But, according to a close friend of the late princess, who died in a car accident in Paris in 1997, the younger sibling had much more privileged relationships with his mother, who was keen to pamper him, despite his elder brother. , on whom all the hopes of royalty were placed.
Since his birth in 1982, Prince William has been seen as the future great king of the United Kingdom. As a result, the eldest daughter of Diana and Charles has always received all the praise from all over the world, to the detriment of his little brother, put aside by royalty. A situation that particularly affected Diana, which overprotected Harry in such a way that he at least suffered from this distinction: "William always received special attention. Diana felt compelled to give more love and attention to Harry "reveals Darren McGrady.
Prince Charles had eyes only for William
Also, Diana and Harry shared many points in common, still noticeable today, twenty years after the death of the princess. According to this same source interviewed, the youngest son would be as "hothead as his mother". “She used to say, 'They take care of the heir, I take care of the replacement,” adds Darren McGrady. According to another close friend of royalty interviewed by Daily Mail, Diana criticized Prince Charles for being "unfair" with his younger brother, favoring the elder.
"She adored them both, but William, destined to be king, was marked from birth for special attention. Diana felt compelled to devote more love and attention to Harry, as compensation." he explained. He also remembers a falling out between the two brothers, when they visited their great-grandmother, the Queen Mother: "Prince Harry complained to his mother saying that it was unfair that William feels compelled to create stories, ”he concluded.
