According to one expert, Prince William’s career goals may contribute to Princess Diana’s happiness.
The Prince of Wales was determined to become a police officer when he grew older because he loved his mother and wanted to please and protect her.
Robert Jobson in his book William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch reveals how the father-of-two wanted to help his mother out.
William tried his best to be encouraging; at one point, he told her he wanted to be a police officer so he could protect her. She had taken to calling him “the man in my life.” However, Jobson wrote that when his parents divorced formally in 1992, he was only 10 years old.
Princess Diana passed away in 1997 after sustaining injuries from a car accident in Paris.
Dodi Al-Fayed, the former Princess of Wales’ boyfriend, was riding along in the car.
