Princess Diana Knew 1 Big William and Harry ‘Change’ Was ‘Fate’
Princess Diana knew she had her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, “for a reason.” Giving birth to boys marked a big “change” for the British royal family, one that she saw as “fate.” Why? So there’d be “‘backup’” for the future king.
In tape recording transcripts for Andrew Morton’s bombshell 1992 biography, Diana: Her True Story, released following Diana’s death, the late royal shared her view of the Duke of Sussex as the Prince of Wales’ “‘backup.’”
“Harry was supposed to be a girl,” she said (via Newsweek). “[King Charles III] was absolutely amazed, and he adores him. But I know we had two boys for a reason.”
“We were the only people in the family to have two boys,” Diana explained of her and King Charles. “The rest of the family had a boy and a girl, and we were the first to change and I know fate played a hand there. Harry’s a ‘backup’ in the nicest possible way.”

Harry’s known of his spare status for as long as he can remember
“The Heir and the Spare—there was no judgment about it, but also no ambiguity,” Harry explained early in his 2023 Spare memoir, which is set to be released in paperback.
“I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B […] brought into the world in case something happened to Willy. I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion, and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow.”
