When Diana talks about her wedding day, she is heard saying that “the whole thing is ridiculous” because she was a “kindergarten teacher.”
In another clip, she is seen claiming that Charles told her stepmother Raine Spencer at Prince Harry’s christening in 1984: “We’re so disappointed, we wanted a girl.”
