The biographer Ingrid Seward, speaking about her newly released book, says Princess Diana believed Prince Harry would be “fine” despite concerns around royal life. Seward also claims Diana worried about Prince William because he “didn’t like the attention.”
In related remarks, Seward says she includes an account in which Harry tells Prince William, “if you don’t want to be King, I will.” The outlet presenting the interview frames these statements as part of a broader look at Diana’s views of her sons and their temperaments.
Both reports rely on Seward’s interpretation and retelling of past conversations, rather than providing direct primary documentation in the articles. As a result, the emphasis is on what Seward says Diana thought and how she believed William and Harry would handle public scrutiny and royal duties.
