While we know why Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorced and just how difficult the whole process was on them, as well as on Prince Harry, we never get to hear much about Prince William’s perspective on the matter. Unlike his brother, the Prince of Wales tends to stay tight-lipped about his opinions and the goings-on within the Windsor Castle walls. Without his input on what happened, it’s safe to assume that, like any child of a tumultuous divorce, William didn’t have an easy time with the deterioration of his parents’ marriage. However, an article from The Times of London has proven that William’s struggles with his parents’ relationship may have gone even deeper.
The article details William and Harry’s difficult youth thanks to their “warring parents who were prone to shouting, sullen silences, vicious arguments, and tears.” William, in particular, would hand tissues to his mother under the door when she cried in the bathroom, reportedly telling her, “I hate to see you sad.” One of the family’s former nannies corroborated Harry’s description of the tension in the household, saying, “the atmosphere at home was at best difficult to deal with, at worst toxic.” She mentioned a time when William told Charles, “I hate you, Papa, I hate you so much. Why do you make Mummy cry all the time?”
