The audio was recorded by Diana in the 1990s for her biographer Andrew Morton, who went on to publish the bestselling book Diana: Her True Story. Snippets of the clips, which are set to air in an upcoming documentary and have been released just a day after the 26th anniversary of Diana's death in a car crash, have been released in the US. Diana claims in the recording that Charles told her stepmother Raine Spencer at Prince Harry's christening in 1984: 'We're so disappointed, we wanted a girl'. Countess Spencer then 'snapped his head off' and told him he should 'realise you are lucky to have a child', Diana added.

You handled all the girl births very well; you’re a FINE person! All wives should have a hubby like you. 😊

That's great that you got good advice and it worked for you! In the case of Chuck and Diane, even if they had gotten such useful advice, it would have required them to cooperate; but Charles was above all that. She was a mere aristocrat, not a royal before he did her the great favor of marrying her, even if, to him, it was just for appearances.

May she RIP

If it was a girl it would have looked like Princess Anne.

She was quite attractive when young. Don't know why she enjoys looking so frumpy ever since her first marriage failed. Her second husband is a good-looking guy and if he were of a mind to step around, I'm sure there would be takers.

Would you think he may have wanted a girl for William to have a sister since he seems so close with his sister?

I thought the issue was that Harry is someone else’s child from an affair Diana had.

Therein lies the rub.

I don't think he gave any of it a lot of thought. He just wanted out as soon as the "spare" was born. He pretty much despised Diana at this point and was completely indifferent to the reality that cheating on a virgin teenager he had wed, throughout the marriage, would not only cause her excruciating pain; but also, in no small part, her subsequent acting out.
