Revealed: The scathing words Prince Charles uttered when Harry was born because he 'wanted a girl'
It is no secret that King Charles has a strained relationship with his youngest son. After quitting frontline royal duties and moving his young family to California in 2020, the Duke of Sussex, 40, has been left in the dark when it comes to his father's cancer battle, only learning of his recent hospital visit on March 27 through media reports, according to People Magazine. And when Harry flew across the pond in early April to attend a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London - a mere 2.5 miles from Buckingham Palace - he did not meet Charles. But the well-documented rift between father and son may go back even further than royal watchers realise. According to Diana herself, Charles was desperate to have two children - one boy and one girl. 'I knew Harry was going to be a boy because I saw on the scan,' she explained to Andrew Morton for his bestselling book Diana: Her True Story In Her Own Words. 'Charles always wanted a girl. He wanted two children, and he wanted a girl. I knew Harry was a boy, and I didn't tell him.' So when Diana gave birth to their second son Harry in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital on September 15, 1984, Charles could barely hide his disappointment. 'First comment was: "Oh God, it's a boy," second comment: "And he's even got red hair,"' Diana recounted to her trusted biographer Morton. In his own bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry said he was 21 the first time he heard the story of 'what Pa allegedly said to Mummy the day of my birth: "Wonderful! Now you've given me an Heir and a Spare - my work is done." 'A joke. Presumably,' Harry penned. 'On the other hand, minutes after delivering this bit of high comedy, Pa was said to have gone off to meet his girlfriend. So. Many a true word spoken in jest.' Outside the hospital, Prince Charles appeared to hide his true feelings and told the waiting journalists: 'He's wonderful. Absolutely marvellous.' It is no wonder the Diana would go on to tell friends that 'spiritually' their marriage 'ended the day Prince Harry was born', according to Morton. Charles told his official biographer Jonathan Dimbleby that he picked things back up with Camilla in 1986. Meanwhile it is alleged Diana's affair with army captain James Hewitt started around the same time. The royal couple, who had separate bedrooms at their homes for years stopped sharing the same sleeping quarters during an official visit to Portugal in 1987. The next few years saw Charles and Diana plagued with rumours of marital problems, culminating in the blistering tell-all of the collapse of their marriage as published by Morton in 1992. The Princess of Wales had secretly contributed to the book by providing Morton with audio recordings which would later be included in a 2017 ITV documentary. Diana claims in the recordings that Charles's disappointment at having a second boy rather than a girl persevered until Prince Harry's christening on December 21, 1984. After the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the future king allegedly told Diana's mother Frances Shand Kydd: 'We're so disappointed, we thought it would be a girl.' Frances then 'snapped his head off' and told him he should 'realise you are lucky to have a child', Diana added. The doomed royal couple announced their separation just months after the publication of Morton's book in 1992 and finalised their divorce in August 1996. Elsewhere in Morton's explosive biography, Diana reveals that the birth of her first son William - the heir - came with its own set of issues. The Princess of Wales told Morton she had to choose a date to be induced that fit around Charles's busy polo schedule. 'When we had William, we had to find a date in the diary that suited Charles and his polo,' she said. 'William had to be induced because I couldn't handle the press pressure any longer, it was becoming unbearable. It was as if everyone was monitoring every day for me.' Princess Diana added: 'Anyway, the boy arrived, great excitement. 'Thrilled, everyone absolutely high as a kite – we had found a date where Charles could get off his polo pony for me to give birth.

Scottish Labour win Hamilton by-election in shock upset for SNP
Davy Russell won 8559 votes, while the SNP's Katy Loudon won 7957. Reform UK's Ross Lambie came in a close third with 7088. Turnout for the by-election was 44.2%. Of the total electorate (61,485), 27,155 ballot papers were verified. A total of 46 ballot papers were rejected. The by-election was held after the death of Scottish Government minister Christina McKelvie, who won the seat for the SNP in the 2021 elections with 46% of the vote. Just four candidates ran in the seat in the 2021 Holyrood elections, while the by-election attracted 10, including from fringe groups. After the Scottish Labour victory, group leader Anas Sarwar said: "It's an incredible night and it's a tribute to a fantastic local candidate and a fantastic local candidate by the way that has had to put up with pretty elitist and classist comments about him. "This man lives here. The other candidates are going to leave this constituency tonight whereas Davy is not leaving it tonight, he lives here." He added: "We have proven pundits wrong, we have proven the pollsters wrong, we've proven the political commentators wrong, we've proven the bookies wrong and we're going to continue to do what we need to do to change the lives of people here in Scotland." Russell, now an MSP, had been criticised during the campaign for declining to take part in election debates. The SNP were the bookies' favourites to win the seat ahead of the ballot. The by-election campaign was largely defined by the introduction of Reform UK, who are currently topping UK-wide political polls. The party spent between £20,000-£25,000 targeting voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse with a "blatantly racist" advert on Facebook and Instagram, which was condemned by both the SNP and Labour. Nigel Farage, in a visit to Scotland this week, said it was unlikely his party would win the by-election, despite recent polls suggesting Reform UK was second in voter preference in Scotland with just 11 months to go to the next Holyrood election. Reform UK, a rebranded Brexit Party, briefly had an MSP in 2021 after former Scottish Tory defector Michelle Ballantyne joined up, but she failed to retain her seat. Polls have suggested they are on track to return a significant group of MSPs in the 2026 elections.
