Since the day he was born, Prince William has been groomed for the role of king.

However, an intriguing revelation from a royal expert suggests that Princess Diana had a different perspective on the matter.

It is believed that Diana thought her youngest son, Prince Harry, would be better suited for the position of monarch.

This surprising insight sheds light on the complex relationship between the two brothers and their divergent paths in life.

As children, William and Harry may have appeared close, but their destinies have always been distinct.

William, as the heir to the throne, has had his entire future mapped out since childhood.

The weight of his future responsibilities has been evident to him from a young age.

On the other hand, Harry’s life has been far less certain, especially since his decision to step back from his role as a working royal alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.

Despite their differing paths, royal expert Robert Jobson reveals that Princess Diana secretly nicknamed Harry “Good King Harry” or GKH.

This nickname stemmed from Diana’s belief that Harry possessed the qualities necessary to excel as a monarch.

The reasons behind her conviction remain undisclosed, but it is speculated that William often confided in his mother about his reluctance to ascend the throne.

In response, a young Harry boldly declared, “If you don’t want the job, I’ll have it.”

According to Jobson, Diana’s private reference to Harry as GKH was an expression of her belief that he would be better equipped for the role of king in the future.

This sentiment was echoed by TV broadcaster Jeremy Paxman, who recalls a lunch meeting with Diana where she discussed her sons’ futures.

Paxman recounts that William expressed his disinterest in becoming king, prompting Harry to assert his willingness to take on the responsibility.

In a 1995 interview with Martin Bashir, Diana was asked if William should assume the title of king directly.

She hesitated, acknowledging that William was still young and questioning whether such a burden should be placed on his shoulders at his tender age.

Her response indicated her concerns about the weight of the crown on her eldest son’s shoulders.

The strained relationship between William and Harry has been a topic of public interest for some time now.

Tensions escalated further with Harry’s public accusations against his brother in his memoir, “Double Tell Walls,” and his Netflix documentary, “Spare.”

In “Spare,” released shortly after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry made the shocking claim that William physically attacked him and even pushed him into a dog bowl during a heated argument about Meghan.

The revelations surrounding Diana’s belief in Harry’s suitability for the role of king add another layer of complexity to the ongoing rift between the brothers.

While their paths have diverged significantly, it is clear that their shared upbringing and unique experiences within the royal family have shaped their perspectives and ambitions.
