Princess Diana and King Charles announced their separation in 1992, before finalizing their divorce in 1996. At the time, their two sons—Prince William and Prince Harry—were still young, and likely experienced a difficult transition when their parents split up. According to a new royal biography, Prince William even developed some "protective instincts" while witnessing his parents ending their marriage.
In the new royal biography, William and Catherine: The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story, royal expert Russell Myers revealed that Princess Diana tried her best to prepare Harry and William for their futures.
