Princess Diana knew William would Marry Catherine

OHMYGOSSIP — Britain’s late Princess Diana knew Prince William would marry Duchess Catherine because she wanted him to tie the knot with a “down to earth” woman with a “close family unit”.

The Princess’ trusted friend Lana Marks, a handbag designer, believes her former pal would have been very impressed with her son’s choice of wife because she wanted him to tie the knot with a “down to earth” woman with a “close family unit”.

Speaking to US magazine Glob, she said: “Kate is absolutely everything Diana wanted.

“She even said William’s wife would have dark hair. Diana wanted someone down-to-earth for William, with a close family unit so he could enjoy a normal family life.

“She wanted a future queen of the people, for the people. I knew Diana very well during the last 18 months of her life. Diana discussed with me in great detail what she wanted for William in terms of a wife, children – what she wanted for his future.”

Recent reports suggest Princess Diana reached out to her future daughter-in-law and Prince William in a secret tape recording because she feared for her life and wasn’t sure if she would be around to guide her eldest son.

Diana’s message reportedly urged William to: “Cherish your children for me… let them know I’ll love them and watch over them…”

When Lana was told of the contents of the tape, she said: “Oh my God, I know her choice of words, the way she would say things and this sounds exactly like her.”

The new tape emerged following claims that the Princess was assassinated in Paris in 1997 by members of the Special Forces.
