Although things may have seemed happy for Prince Charles and Princess Diana at the beginning of their relationship and marriage, it wasn't too long after they did say their vows that things started going downhill for them. According to the Princess of Wales, there were three people in the marriage and it was getting too crowded.

What the Princess meant by that is that she found out her husband, the Prince of Wales was cheating on her with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Once Diana found out, little Prince William noticed a change in his parent's relationship. He came to his mother and said he knew something was going on and asked her if she would answer his questions. Seeing as how he was the older child and would understand more than his little brother, Prince Harry, she said yes, she would tell him by answering his questions. This was all according to an interview Diana did with BBC Journalist, Martin Bashir.

After this, Prince William knew about his father's affair with Camilla. However, Prince Harry had no clue yet. The way he did find out, really didn't seem fair for a small child to find out this way.

Diana told journalist, Martin Bashir, "William asked me what had been going on, and could I answer his questions, which I did. He said, was that the reason why our marriage had broken up? And I said, well, there were three of us in this marriage, and the pressure of the media was another factor, so the two together were very difficult.”

Diana had explained to Prince William back then, "Although I still loved Papa I couldn’t live under the same roof as him, and likewise with him.”
