Princess Diana broke royal family rules over Christmas to ensure Princes William and Harry were never “spoiled,” a report shows.
The Princess of Wales, who tragically died in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997, often broke with royal tradition to ensure that her two sons did not grow up “spoiled”, said a close friend.
This habit became particularly evident during the holiday season when Diana was determined to teach William and Harry about the less fortunate and do something for charity.
Ken Wharfe, Diana’s former bodyguard, announced that the two young princes would receive mountains of gifts from unknown sources for Christmas, but Diana would force the couple to donate some of the gifts to charity.
Talk to OK! He told Magazine, “Diana took great care not to flood her with gifts – gifts came from unknown sources, and they were often returned or given to charity because they didn’t need them.
“She was very aware of what she was buying, knowing the hallway in Sandringham would be full of presents.”
