Why Princess Diana would have supported Prince Harry speaking out
Prince Harry made global headlines last week after speaking out in a candid conversation following his High Court loss
Princess Diana would have been proud of Prince Harry’s bombshell BBC interview, a royal expert has claimed.
While the remarks sparked fierce debate, royal author Ingrid Seward believes Diana would have supported her son for speaking his truth.
Speaking to Hello! magazine’s A Right Royal Podcast, Seward reflected on Diana’s own infamous BBC Panorama interview in 1995 and said the late Princess of Wales stood by her decision at the time.
"I saw her quite shortly after that, so obviously I asked her, and she said, 'No, I don't regret any of it,'" Seward recalled.
Diana reportedly told Seward that she received "thousands of letters" from people suffering from anorexia and bulimia after her interview, feeling that she had helped others by speaking so openly about her struggles.
The only part Diana admitted feeling uneasy about was her public admission of her relationship with James Hewitt, due to its impact on her sons, William and Harry.
When asked how Diana might have reacted to Harry’s recent interview, Seward said: "I think she might have been proud, ‘I'm glad you said what you thought.'"
She added, "She liked to say exactly what she thought and then deal with the consequences afterwards, which is, of course, what happened to her."
What did Prince Harry say in his BBC interview?
The Duke of Sussex is at the centre of royal drama following his bombshell BBC interview, where he claimed King Charles "won’t speak to him" and shockingly added that he doesn't know “how much longer [his father] has”.
The emotional sit-down came just days after Harry lost his appeal to reinstate his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK — and now, the fallout is getting even messier.
But with growing calls for him to be cut off, and Buckingham Palace sticking firmly to their position — reiterating that “all these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts” — a reunion with the Royal Family seems further away than ever.
