14 DAY TRIAL // The British royals are like your favorite cardigan: they may not always be the latest fashion, but they never go out of style. Somehow, the royals manage to swing back into worldwide attention every time there's a new scandal or an event in their family.
These days, as the world is cheering the news of the second royal baby of Kate Middleton and Prince William, there is also some darker news emerging. Radar says that writer Penny Junor has uncovered some pretty interesting details in the life of the late Princess Diana and she's put them in a new tell-all book.
Princess Diana was crazy with jealousy, threatened to kill Camilla Parker
The sauciest of the discoveries is that Princess Diana was at one point so consumed with jealousy towards Camilla Parker Bowles that she reported to calling her on the phone in the middle of the night and taunting her.
“I’ve sent someone to kill you … they’re outside in the garden … look out of the window; can you see them?” Princess Diana reportedly told Camilla who was known to be having an affair with Prince Charles, Diana's husband at the time.
This comes as a highly shady report, since Diana was mostly known for her gentle nature, her charitable work and good grace. It's hard to believe that she would be so vindictive and go as far as threaten to kill her rival for the love of Prince Charles.
Junor's book is called “Prince Harry: Brother, Soldier, Son” and it also tackles Prince's Harry's troubled upbringing, in what the author describes as “a broken home.” The author goes as far as to claim that Princess Diana's fits of jealousy had a deep impact on Prince Harry.
Prince Harry was deeply affected by his mother's needy nature
Junor pities Harry who had to “endure his parents very bitter divorce, the revelation of their affairs and even their most intimate secrets, from Diana's eating disorder and self-harming to Charles' excruciatingly emberrassing phone conversations with Camilla.” The most famous one was that he wanted to be reincarnated as her tampon.
The fact that Diana failed to hide her dalliances from her children has caused them to be influenced by her mood swings, particularly Harry, who was younger and impressionable. Diana took her problems to her two sons, confided in them and sought them for comfort, putting a lot of responsibility on their shoulders.
Junor goes on to describe Diana as a needy and smothering mother, who “wanted 100 percent of her children, in the same way she had wanted 100 percent of Charles, to the exclusion of all others.” One of her favorite phrases in the world when addressing her boys was “Who loves you most?”
