It was part of her most explosive interview ever.
Back in November 1995, Princess Diana (opens in new tab) was asked if she thought her oldest son, Prince William, should succeed Queen Elizabeth on the throne instead of his father, Prince Charles.
Diana initially dodged the question, which came during her famous BBC1 (opens in new tab) Panorama interview, noting that William was only 13 at the time and too young for that responsibility.
"My wish is that my husband finds peace of mind, and from that follows others things, yes," she finally answered.
Princess Diana (opens in new tab) always knew that her oldest son, Prince William (opens in new tab), had what it took to be a great king.
In November 1995, the late royal sat down for what would turn out to be an explosive interview with BBC1 Panorama (opens in new tab) about her divorce from Prince Charles (opens in new tab). During the interview Martin Bashir asked Diana (opens in new tab) if she thought Will, who was 13 at the time, should succeed Queen Elizabeth as the reigning monarch on the British throne. You know, as in instead of his father, Charles.
"Do you think it would make more sense in the light of the marital difficulties that you and the Prince of Wales have had if the position of monarch passed directly to your son Prince William?" Bashir asked.
"Well, then you have to see that William's very young at the moment, so do you want a burden like that to be put on his shoulders at such an age? So I can't answer that question," Diana answered, dodging the heart of the question.
"Would it be your wish that when Prince William comes of age that he were to succeed the Queen rather than the current Prince of Wales?" Bashir pressed.
"My wish is that my husband finds peace of mind, and from that follows others things, yes," Diana said.
So, there you have it.
Why Prince Charles Can Still Be King, But This Royal Had To Give Up Title

Prince Charles is set to inherit the throne likely within the next few years, as the heir to Queen Elizabeth II. However, some are wondering just how eligible he really is to become the King considering his marital history, when others have been forced to give up their claims to the throne in the past for a similar reason.
In the Online forum Quora, one royal fan wondered why Prince Charles was still eligible to be king despite his divorce from Princess Diana and marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles—a fellow divorcee—when his great-uncle, King Edward VIII, was forced to abdicate the throne and give up his life as a royal when he wanted to marry divorced American actress Wallis Simpson.
However, the reasoning for Charles’ eligibility can easily be explained by updated laws and social attitudes that didn’t exist in the 1930s. One user answered the question by stating that not only have the Succession to the Crown laws changed, but public expectations of the monarchy have as well.
“It looks very much like the expectations of the monarchy of themselves have changed to come into line with the expectations the public have for themselves,” the user wrote. “It also seems that the public expectation of how much the person in the role can reveal of their private selves has broadened.”
Another user went into more detail on the issue and the situation, explaining just how much things had changed, and that Charles can and still will be king because his marriage to Camilla produced “absolutely no constitutional, legal or religious impediments.”
During Edward VIII’s time, divorce was mainly considered sinful within the Church of England, especially if the divorced person was considering remarriage while their former spouse was alive. However, since times have changed—and Princess Diana is also no longer alive, Charles does not have nearly as many obstacles standing in his way.
“Times have changed very substantially since then,” the user wrote. “Socially, divorce is not considered reason for a person to be deemed socially unacceptable and nor is a divorced person re-marrying while their former partner is still alive. Charles’ former partner Diana is no longer alive, although Camilla does have a living husband. While some of the more extremist conservatives in the Church of England may not agree, the prevailing view is that divorce and re-marriage are no longer grounds for excommunication.”
