Unheard tapes of Princess Diana telling how Charles said he was 'disappointed' when Prince Harry was born because 'we wanted a girl'
Daily Mail ^ | Sep. 1 2023 | Harry Howard

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.

So they needed a spare for the heir, but he wanted a mare?

Well, Meghan did remove his testicles, so at least he's moving in the right direction.

Diana RIP, would take that public statement back if she had a do-over.

No mom whould hurt the child (forget it’s Harry) telling how his father was disappointed that he was not this or that, or maybe born at all. Diana was in such a painful place and near frantic situation, she slipped up.

The Y chromosome was Charlie’s responsibility...assuming he was Harry’s biological father.

Isn't nice when things start to work out in the end?

I’m American, not British, but I am embarrassed to live on a planet in 2023 with a major country that has an entity actually called “the royal family”.

Queens are fine for bees, but for humans?

Seriously?

[...the “Y” chromosome is his responsibility.]

I believe there is also a timing issue. I’ve been told that a male sperm is faster but dies sooner than a female sperm. If the egg is waiting around for a sperm to arrive, there is a higher chance it will be a boy. If the sperm is waiting on the egg to drop, it will probably be a girl. This was told to my wife by her OB. Following that advice we are 2 for 2.
