Before her death, she was asked if the title of king should go directly to William during a Panorama interview, Diana said:
"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."
In the same interview, Diana was asked if she believed Charles would ever be king.
She replied:
"There was always conflict on that subject with him when we discussed it, and I understood that conflict, because it’s a very demanding role, being Prince of Wales, but it’s an equally more demanding role being king."
"And being Prince of Wales produces more freedom now, and being king would be a little bit more suffocating."
"And because I know the character I would think that the top job, as I call it, would bring enormous limitations to him, and I don’t know whether he could adapt to that."
