The relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William during their childhood was marked by rivalry, a dynamic that deeply troubled Princess Diana.
In a revealing excerpt from the new royal book, "My Mother and I," author Ingrid Seward sheds light on Diana's apprehensions regarding her youngest son's "complex" emotions about feeling overshadowed by William.
Diana, recognizing the intense possessiveness Harry felt towards her, often referred to him as "her little baby," reflecting his struggle with sharing her attention with William.
Seward elaborates, "Diana worried that others might perceive Harry as 'thick' due to his disinterest in traditional academic pursuits and his reluctance to engage with books. His competitive nature, particularly with his brother, was evident in all aspects of their relationship."
Royal biographer Andrew Morton echoes Diana's concerns, emphasizing her desire for her sons to remain united despite any differences. Morton reflects on Diana's belief that Harry should always stand by William's side as his steadfast support.
"The one thing that would truly upset her is the division between them," Morton revealed to Ok! Magazine. "... Diana firmly believed that Harry should be there to support William unconditionally."
