Europa Press, en.edatv.news, STILLFX William discovers that Lady Di divorced Charles III because of what happened to her
The shocking event in William's life that brings to light the real reason behind his parents' separation
The lives of monarchs and their children are marked by tradition and public expectations. The most prominent members of royal families are constantly watched, and the relationship between Charles III and Lady Di was no exception. For years, people talked about the distance between them.
The relationship between Charles III and Lady Di and their eventual divorce were surrounded by speculation. For the most part, controversies and rumors were fueled by the media. However, what had seemed a mystery to their son William finally came to light in an unexpected way.
William's accident and his parents' response
In June 1991, William, just eight years old, suffered a blow to the head while playing at Ludgrove boarding school in Berkshire. The severity of the accident led to the child being taken first to Royal Berkshire Hospital and then to Great Ormond Street Hospital for a more thorough evaluation. There, doctors confirmed that William had a skull fracture that required urgent surgery, although he remained "cheerful and talkative."
Lady Di didn't leave her son's side at any moment. In contrast, Charles III decided to keep his royal commitments and attend a performance of Tosca at the Royal Opera House. This contrast was noticed by the media and those around the family, highlighting an emotional disconnect between William's parents.
The revelation that changed William's perspective
This incident revealed a painful truth for William, as biographer Andrew Morton commented in the book "Diana: Her True Story-In Her Own Words." "The dramatically different way the couple replied to William's injury underscored what those within their immediate circle had known for some time." "The fairy tale marriage between the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer had ended in all but name."
Although William was just a child, this event was the first step in understanding the complexity of his parents' relationship. Charles III's indifference at such a critical moment showed him that the marriage between them was no longer the same. The reality behind their separation was becoming increasingly clear.
