When asked about his thoughts on the recent rumors about Kate, Charles told BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, in an interview released March 17, “I do worry about what happened to the truth.”
Diana, ex-wife of King Charles III and one of the most beloved philanthropists in the world, died in 1997 at age 36 in a car crash in Paris after being pursued on the road by paparazzi. William and Harry, then 15 and 12 years old respectively, were not with her at the time of the accident.
“I think it was more dangerous back in the day,” Charles said about the media scrutiny of his sister. “If I look back to ’97 and Diana’s death, I think that was so shocking, the circumstance of her death was so shocking, that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldn’t do. Not because they had a moral judgment, but because it was unacceptable to the public.”
Charles is not the only one of Kate and William’s family members to publicly share their well-wishes for the princess following her announcement of her cancer diagnosis. Her brother, James Middleton, The King and wife Queen Camilla and Harry and wife Meghan Markle have all expressed their support, as have a slew of celebrities and world leaders.
