Royal Family News – Diana Share Her Sons’ Personalities
Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. That evening she phoned her sons and they had one last conversation, with no one suspecting it would be their last.
Since then the princes have spoken about how her death affected them at such a young age. Today Harry is pushing 40 and this week he will accept ESPN’s Pat Tillman Award for Service. It is the latest controversy to envelope him since his defection.
Royal Family News – Harry Described As Passive
In a taped interview, Diana was asked about her boys’ personalities. At that time William was three and she described him as active with a “will of his own.” She added that the toddler was very “enthusiastic” about the world around him.
As for Harry, she said that he is “quieter” than his older brother. Today it’s hard to imagine a silent Harry.
Royal Family News – Diana Describes Harry And William
Diana said that Harry liked to observe things while William pushed himself into activities he was interested in.
That description jibes with William’s modern legacy which includes founding the Earthshot Prize. Those awards are given annually to individuals who come up with innovative ways to preserve and protect the environment.
In the interview Diana noted that the world would have to “wait and see” if Harry learned to “copy” his brother.
Is Harry Copying William?
What do you think royal fans, has Harry followed in William’s bold and ambitious footsteps or is he a lackey yes man content to live in the shadow of his wife as he once did with his brother?
