Princess Diana’s dying wish was reported that Prince William will become king and succeed Queen Elizabeth and not Prince Charles.

In the documentary Diana: The Truth Behind The Interview, Sir Max Hastings shared details from his conversation with Princess Diana.

According to Hastings, the only thing that the Princess of Wales cared about was for Prince William to become king. After all, she groomed her son to be one before her death.

Hastings also said that Princess Diana explicitly told him that she didn’t Prince Charles could be an effective king.

Now, a source told In Touch Weekly that Hastings’ revelations rocked the palace. Even though Princess Diana has been dead for 23 years, her actions continue to haunt the palace and the royal family.

The insider also said that the documentary was especially difficult for Prince William to absorb because he was furious at his mom for speaking out about her marriage to Prince Charles and the latter’s affair with Camilla.

And even though his mom is no longer around, there is still so much talk surrounding Princess Diana’s Panorama interview with Martin Bashir.

But at the end of the day, Prince William is also, reportedly, mature enough to realize that Princess Diana only had his best interests at heart. And he’s also learned how to view his parents’ marriage objectively.

The Duke of Cambridge only recently learned about the true extent of Princess Diana’s misery, and it hasn’t allegedly been easy for him.

“Obviously, the interview doesn’t make Charles look good. And Charles already has major insecurities, especially when it comes to his popularity being compared to William’s. The public adores William,” the source said.

Prince Charles is also, allegedly, worried that Princess Diana’s dying wish would come true because the queen doesn’t have any plans to give up her title anytime soon. And the heir to the throne may be too old to rule the nation when she abdicates.

Meanwhile, the source said that Princess Diana raised Prince William to be much better than his dad and to have all the qualities that are needed from a king.

The source said that if Princess Diana was still alive today, she would push for Prince William to bypass his dad from the throne. After all, the late royal thinks that Prince Charles is weak, cruel, and self-centered. As such, the Princess of Wales didn’t think that her ex-husband the makings of a great king.
