Since birth, Prince William has been aware of his predetermined future as the heir to the throne, with a high likelihood of ascending to the position of king one day. This destiny has been ingrained in him from a tender age. On the other hand, Prince Harry, as the spare, has faced a much more uncertain existence. Recently, he even decided to step away from his role as a working royal alongside his wife, Meghan Markle. Despite their diverging destinies, a royal expert reveals that their late mother, Princess Diana, believed that Prince Harry would excel as a monarch. Diana even bestowed upon him a secret nickname, GK, or Good King Harry.
The reasons behind her conviction remain undisclosed, but it has been suggested that Prince William often confided in her about his reluctance to assume the throne. In response, a young Harry boldly declared, "If you don't want the job, I'll have it."
Renowned Royal expert Robert Jobson sheds light on Diana's perspective, sharing that she referred to Harry as GK due to her belief that he would be better equipped for the future role than William. These revelations emerged during an interview on the Channel 5 program "William and Harry: Princes at War." Further insights into Diana's discussions about her son's futures come from TV broadcaster Jeremy Paxman, who recalls a lunch meeting where the princess expressed William's admission that he didn't aspire to be king. In response, Harry would assert, "If you don't want the job, I'll have it."
During her iconic Panorama interview with Martin Bashir in 1995, Princess Diana was asked about whether the title of King should be directly bestowed upon 13-year-old William. She responded with consideration, highlighting William's tender age and questioning the wisdom of burdening him so heavily at such a young stage in life. Hence, she found it difficult to provide a definitive answer.
Relations between William and Harry have been strained for quite some time, and the situation intensified following Harry's public accusations against his brother in his memoir "Spear" and Netflix documentary "Spear," both released shortly after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. In these accounts, Harry alleges that William physically attacked him and pushed him into a dog bowl amid a dispute concerning Meghan.
