Princess Diana told Camilla 'I sent someone to kill you' claims Prince Harry biographer

As he turns 30, a brilliant new book by a top royal biographer exposes the inner torment of Prince Harry. On Saturday, in this exclusive Mail serialisation, Penny Junor revealed his wild binges, tensions with the Middletons and his many flirtations. Today, we uncover the toxic upbringing that shaped his life.

Harry and William were just eight and ten when they went on their first holiday without their parents in the summer of 1993, almost two years after Charles and Diana's very public separation.

Squidgygate, a 30 minute tape recording of Diana having a flirtatious conversation with her lover James Gilbey, had been followed just a few months later by Camillagate.

It was an 11 minute tape of their father's late night phone ramblings to his mistress which could be distilled to just one thought: the heir to the throne wished that he could always be with the woman he adored and mused on the possibility of turning into a Tampax to achieve it.

At the hermes bag imitation boys' boarding school, Ludgrove, every effort had been made to ensure that the most lurid headlines were kept out of sight. But there were more than 180 boys at the school aged between seven and 13 and it was impossible to keep it from every one of them. The stress that Harry and William were under is simply unimaginable.

So they were buy Hermes bags replica certainly in need of a break when they went to Polzeath in Cornwall with their good friends the van Straubenzee boys, whose parents rented the same clifftop house there every year. On that first visit, Harry cut his leg on some barnacles and started to cry. The poor little boy was in agony.

His leg was bleeding profusely and the salt water was making it sting. In the absence of his mother, father or even a nanny, his Police Protection Officer, Graham Cracker, stepped in.

'Harry, pull yourself together and stop whingeing,' he said brusquely. 'It's just a scratch.' When a concerned Mrs van Straubenzee tried to intervene, he batted her away. 'He's perfectly all right.'

It's a small vignette and hardly the most traumatic of incidents. But it took place against a backdrop of appalling family misery and is indicative of a childhood in which the young Prince was left, not for the first time, bereft of every child's most basic requirement: a mother's reassuring comfort.

Those who know Prince Harry generally agree the fact he is never going to be king is a good thing.

It's always said with an affectionate laugh because people love Harry. But he's always had a wild, unpredictable streak to him, even as a little boy.

His detractors say he's not very bright and there was a time, granted, when he behaved like a mindless Hooray Henry with no self control. A time when one wondered whether the terrible combination of his mother's death and the chaos of his childhood had set him on a dangerous and perhaps irreversible downward spiral.

Wildly emotional, Diana expected little Harry to comfort her

Not only did he lose his mother at a desperately difficult age, just two weeks before his 13th birthday he lost her in a spectacular manner that made headlines around the world.

There can surely be few whose hearts were not broken by the sight of Harry as a little boy walking so bravely behind his mother's cortege.

But even before her death he'd endured the misery that comes with a broken home, warring parents and a dad who was often absent.

Like his brother, he had to endure his parents' very bitter divorce, the revelation of their affairs and even their most intimate secrets, from Diana's eating disorder and self harming hermes Birkin Bag replica to Charles's excruciatingly embarrassing phone conversations with Camilla.

It wasn't just that his mother wasn't there to comfort him when he hurt his knee. What was far worse was that she expected him to comfort her as she ricocheted from one terrifying emotional outburst to the next. Some were played out on the front pages of the national newspapers.

Others I am revealing here for the first time.

Contrary to what Diana believed, there was no campaign to discredit her following the separation. In fact, quite the reverse. Charles had given specific instructions to his staff to say and do hermes bag replica nothing to reflect badly upon the Princess.

He made it blindingly clear that no matter what Diana did or said, she would always be the mother of his children and anything that hurt the Princess would hurt them.

For all that, Diana saw conspiracies everywhere and sent anonymous, unnerving and sometimes poisonous messages to a range of people, including her Private Secretary Patrick Jephson and 28 year old Tiggy Legge Bourke, who'd been hired by Prince Charles to look after the boys following the separation. Even Camilla had threatening telephone calls from her. They were always made in the dead of the night, when Camilla was alone in her country house in the middle of nowhere.

I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?

'I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?'

The Prince picked up many of Diana's cast off staff and she drove him to distraction in many ways. Charles found conversations with her difficult and upsetting. He seemed to provide a focus for her anger; but he did care very much that she should be looked after.

He worried about her and was always there at the end of a telephone, right to the end, when things went wrong with a love affair or the children or even the Press.
