In recently discovered audio tapes, Princess Diana shares an emotional revelation about King Charles expressing his disappointment over not having a daughter. These tapes, which have been concealed for years, detail the strain in the royal marriage.
The former Princess of Wales, tragically killed in a Paris car crash when she was 36, narrates in the audio about the disintegration of her marriage to Charles due to his longstanding affair with his now wife, Queen Camilla. The tapes were procured by ABC a month after the 26th anniversary of her death.
Interestingly, the announcement about the tapes comes just on the verge of the news about the demise of Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Dodi, Diana's alleged lover who also died in the car crash.
These tapes will be featured in a documentary slated to air in the coming year. They contain snippets from several personal recordings by Diana during the tumultuous 1990s, capturing intimate moments like her wedding day and discussing Charles' relationship with her stepmother.
Moreover, the tapes also shed light on Diana's challenging relationship with her stepmother, Raine Spencer, following her father's, John, death in 1992 and her strained relationship with her step-brother Charles.
