The People's Princess Shared Insights into Her Sons' Distinct Personalities
Princess Diana, who tragically passed away in a Paris car crash in 1997 at the age of 36, once spoke lovingly about the distinct personalities of her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. In an ITN interview from 1985, Diana described her youngest son, Harry, as "a different character altogether," while admiring William's enthusiasm.
As the world marks the 27th anniversary of her untimely death on August 31, Diana's words about her sons continue to resonate. Reflecting on the differences between them, she noted that while William was an enthusiastic and outgoing toddler, Harry, who was just a baby at the time, was more observant and reserved.
In the interview, Alastair Burnet asked Diana if she had noticed William developing a will of his own. She responded, "Well, he certainly does. He's a typical three-year-old. I work with three-year-olds, and he's very enthusiastic about things, pushes himself right into it, he's not at all shy."
When describing Harry, she said, "Harry is more quiet and just watches. Whether he copies William, we wait and see, but he's a different character altogether."
These insights from Diana provide a touching glimpse into the early personalities of her sons, who are now famously at odds. Meanwhile, a new docuseries titled Who Killed Diana? has been announced, aiming to explore the circumstances surrounding the 1997 car accident that claimed the life of the beloved princess. The series is expected to delve into the mysteries and controversies that have surrounded Diana's death, as well as the impact it had on her sons, William and Harry.
