10 Times the Royals Got Surprisingly Candid
Queen Elizabeth on how heavy that crown is

“You can’t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up. Because if you did, your neck would break — it would fall off,” she explains in a new documentary called The Coronation

Prince Harry on no one wanting to be king (or queen)

“Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don’t think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time,” he told Newsweek.

Prince William on how he wants to raise George

“I want George to grow up in a real, living environment, I don’t want him growing up behind palace walls, he has to be out there. The media make it harder but I will fight for them to have a normal life,” he told GQ.

Prince Harry on his mental health struggles

“I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well,” he said during a podcast interview. “I thought that thinking of her was only going to make me sad and not going to bring her back. So from an emotional side, I was, like, ‘Right, don’t ever let your emotions be part of anything.’”

Princess Diana on feeling lonely in her marriage

“It was isolating, but it was also a situation where you couldn’t indulge in feeling sorry for yourself: you had to either sink or swim. And you had to learn that very fast,” she told Frontline.

“I used to think I was stupid and slow,” she said of her struggles with dyslexia.

Prince Harry on disagreeing with how his mother's death was handled

“I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television . . . I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances,” he told Newsweek.

Princess Diana on her struggles with bulimia
image

“I had bulimia for a number of years. And that’s like a secret disease. You inflict it upon yourself because your self-esteem is at a low ebb, and you don’t think you’re worthy or valuable. You fill your stomach up four or five times a day – some do it more – and it gives you a feeling of comfort. It’s like having a pair of arms around you, but it’s temporarily, temporary. Then you’re disgusted at the bloatedness of your stomach, and then you bring it all up again,” she told Frontline.

Kate Middleton on the isolation of motherhood

“It is lonely at times and you do feel quite isolated, but actually so many other mothers are going through exactly what you are going through,” she said during a meeting at the Global Academy.

Prince William on Harry's engagement

“For me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and stop scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years!” he said of the big news.
