The Spare

In the early days of 1985, Diana was happy to find ot that she was pregnant with another little baby. She was pleased to find out that Charles had become more committed cutting down on his public engagements to spend more time with his family and support his wife in her time of need. He desperately wanted the child to be a little girl and expected to have a daughter, but much to Charles' disappointment, when Diana gave birth on September 15th, it was another little prince. The first words that came out of his mouth were, "Oh God, it's a boy." He later criticized the baby's red hair,  which was a common Spencer family trait. At that moment, any love that she had for him vanished. She said,  "Then suddenly as Harry was born it just went bang, our marriage, the whole thing went down the drain... something inside me closed off." The baby was named Henry Charles Albert David, but everyone called him Harry. Diana had yat another child to love, and despite Charles' disapointment with Harry's gender, he loved him too.
