He certainly has his regrets. There’s a new report that suggests King Charles wishes that he were a more strict parent while Prince William and Prince Harry were growing up during their childhood.
Instead, he mostly decided to let the boys do what they wanted to do during their teenage years, which could have led to all of the problems that they are dealing with now. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Royal Family News – King Charles Regrets Adapting Princess Diana’s Parenting Style
According to royal expert and author Ingrid Seward, who often has something or another to say about the royal family, King Charles certainly wishes he could turn back time to when the boys were younger.
That’s mostly because Prince William has grown up to be someone quite stubborn with anger issues while Prince Harry has been the royal renegade who has broken one rule after another.
Yet, it seems like he just carried on with Princess Diana’s parenting methods, which might be why he’s gotten the results that he’s dealing with today.
That said, there was a time before all of this royal feuding that King Charles and Prince Harry were very close.
Seward said, “They got on incredibly well. I think Charles probably regrets that he wasn’t strict with Harry and [his older son] William. He went on with [Princess] Diana’s freestyle of bringing up children.
Diana allowed them to do, more or less, what they wanted, which was very fashionable in those days. You let children just get on with things.
I think Charles probably regrets that he wasn’t a bit stricter, because it might’ve given both boys a few more boundaries.… Children all need boundaries, and I don’t think they had too many.”
Royal Family News – King Charles Has His Regrets
Seward also opened up about how King Charles felt after his ex-wife Princess Diana’s death.
She explained, “I think Charles was in shock, in enormous shock, and was probably … trembling himself. So what he did was just sort of patted Harry on the shoulder, which is what you might do when you are in shock.
It’s quite hard to suddenly let emotions go and hug someone. . . . You are quite mechanical. So I completely understood why Charles was like that, but obviously Harry held it against him.”
So far King Charles himself has not made any comments about the matter.
