This Saturday, April 8, the “Daily Mail” reveals an excerpt from the new book by Robert Jobson, “Our King Charles III: the Man and the Monarch”, to be published on April 13. This one tells the day when Prince Harry was severely reframed by his mother Diana, following a derogatory behavior.
On April 13, author Robert Jobson will publish his new book Our King Charles III: the Man and the Monarch, in which he recalls anecdotes that have marked the life of the man who is about to be officially made King of England on May 6. The Daily Mail has already begun publishing excerpts from the book in advance of its release. In its April 8 issue, the British tabloid chose to highlight a passage from the book that recalls an unfortunate incident committed by Prince Harry when he was still a child, which had put his mother Diana in a very delicate position.
The story goes back more than thirty years, when Harry was barely 8 years old. Diana had organized for him and his older brother William an outing on a London bus, under police protection for security reasons. On board the vehicle, the princess of hearts was quickly overwhelmed by the situation because of the bad behavior of her youngest son who was having fun making fun of the Punjabi accent of the bus driver. An act of “ordinary racism”, as the author describes it, which did not seem to concern the driver, but which had strongly “mortified” Diana, who would have asked that the race be interrupted. According to Robert Robson, the little family immediately got off at the edge of Green Park and Diana slapped Harry before telling him never to do that again.
Diana made Harry write a letter of apology
Very concerned about this affair, the young mother did not stop there. Back home, she would have asked young Harry to write a letter to apologize for his behavior and for having spoiled this day organized by the police inspector.
A letter that Robert Robson claims to have been able to consult with the inspector Ken Wharfe who always has it in his possession: “I saw the letter in which Harry jokes about the sentence that he pronounced (to the bus driver)”. And the writer concludes: “As he was a child at the time, he can probably be forgiven, but this incident shows that on this point, Diana was completely in agreement with Charles. She did not tolerate any form of racism from her two sons.”
