The Unborn Child were harmed and on June 21st 1992 she and Prince Charles welcomed their son Prince William into the world the tale of his birth was almost like a fairy tale which is a testament to how wonderful their marriage was at the time when princess Diana decided to give birth to the first heir to the British throne in a Maternity Ward everyone questioned her decision but her husband Prince Charles supported her the entire time in an even more unusual move he sat by her bedside watching over her as she gave birth
first Princess Diana chose to give birth to her first child at the Lindo wing of St Mary’s in London which was very unusual at the time because Royals gave birth in the palace according to reports he was the first Royal father to attend his wife’s birth Diana and the nurses had to work out a time for Diana’s birth that fit Prince Charles’s schedule so he could be there even when Diana’s natural birth became intolerable and William had to be induced Charles was by her side monitoring her the entire time and by

letters were published in 1994 as part of Jonathan dimbleby’s official biography of the Prince of Wales his contagious enthusiasm passed to his wife who was equally Overjoyed to have William home she said she was ecstatic that William had arrived and that she was glad Charles was there to assist her during his birth Prince Harry is born their fairy tale birth combined with Prince Charles’s departure from the Royal Norm was enough to make them an iconic couple the world saw their happy marriage unaware of the cracks that had
been forming but when Prince Harry was born the couple’s problems started to show 2 years after Prince William was born in September 1984 Charles and Diana learned they were expecting their second child this was particularly wonderful news because Diana had purportedly miscarried shortly after the announcement of her second pregnancy which had left her so traumatized that she had told her friends she wasn’t cut out for childbirth Prince Charles didn’t feel the same though as Diana reportedly confided in her close friend James
coldhurst that he was disappointed by Harry’s gender Charles had really been hoping for a daughter so it was very disappointing when he found that Diana was Heavy with a boy again however getting pregnant with Prince Harry proved her statement incorrect Diana understood how much Charles wanted their second child to be a girl so she tried to hide the information from the ultrasound she had regarding Harry’s gender at first even though she couldn’t keep it a secret for long in September 1984 Diana gave birth to a boy named
Henry Charles Albert David mountbatten Windsor the baby was born after 9 hours of Labor and no induction according to Diana’s second biography Charles was was disappointed that Harry was a boy in his first statement he expressed disdain for Harry’s red hair a trait that runs in her family Charles was also disappointed that Harry wasn’t christened until December he reportedly told Diana’s mother that they thought Harry would be a girl so the cracks were now apparent the couple sat down with ITN in 1985 to dispel rumors about themselves and their
relationship journalist alist Bernett asked Diana if she had found it difficult to adjust to being a public figure to which she admitted she had when asked if there was anything she would have loved to change about her husband Prince Charles she said no Prince Charles however hinted at the question if he and Diana were fighting by responding that all couples fought Diana later disclosed that she was deeply traumatized by Charles’s remark during that interview and at Harry’s birth particularly because in the weeks
preceding his birth she and Charles became the closest they had ever been Diana even claimed that Harry’s birth was the Catalyst for the breakdown of their marriage because shortly after the worst happened the Affairs Diana knew that Prince Charles had resumed his affair with her ex-girlfriend Camila Parker BS in her autobiography Diana claimed that the worst day of her life was discovering that Charles had returned to Camila desperate to keep her marriage intact Diana confronted her husband’s mistress at a birthday
celebration in 1989 in her book Diana recalled that her confrontation with Prince Charles was the bravest thing she had done in her 10 years of marriage to him she had simply told Camila that she knew about the affair between her and her husband hoping to end it but it wasn’t enough to stop the affair from getting even hotter the affair became an Open Secret after a leaked phone conversation between the pair in 1989 made headlines around the world the transcript of their conversation was first published by an Australian
newspaper then a German one and finally by British tabloids the Press even called The Affair adultery because Camila was already married to Andrew Parker BS whom she had met after Prince Charles left on a six-month tour with the Royal Navy in an effort to save face Prince Charles himself admitted to the affair on live television when asked if he was faithful during his marriage Charles originally said yes before adding that he was until his marriage irretrievably broke down during his interview with Jonathan dimbleby in her
