Andrew Morton Quote

Ironically, during that time, Charles and Diana enjoyed the happiest period of their married life. The balmy summer months before Harry’s birth was a time of contentment and mutual devotion. But a storm cloud hovered on the horizon. Diana knew that Charles was desperate for their second child to be a girl. A scan had already shown that her baby was a boy. It was a secret she nursed until the moment he was born at 4.20pm on Saturday, September 15 in the Lindo wing at St. Mary’s Hospital. Charles’s reaction finally closed the door on any love Diana may have felt for him. Oh it’s a boy, he said, and he’s even got rusty hair. [A common Spencer trait.] With these dismissive remarks he left to play polo. From that moment, as Diana has told friends: Something inside me died. It was a reaction which marked the beginning of the end of their marriage.
