Why William and Harry have chosen to reveal their devastating heartbreak on the eve of the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death…
Princess Diana’s tragic death caused a shockwave of grief across the world. But few of us could compare our sadness with the pain felt by her young sons, william and Harry.
While the nation howled and wept on the day of her funeral, the princes solemnly kept calm as they walked behind their mother’s coffin.
And now, after two decades of keeping a stiff upper lip, Diana’s boys have decided to open up and speak frankly for the first time in a series of heartbreakingly honest confessions about their suffering following their mother’s premature death at the age of 36. ‘I am not looking forward to it [the anniversary],’ says William. ‘But I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time.’
Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty magazine and author of e-book Diana: The Last Word, tells Woman that the looming anniversary is probably not the only thing that has encouraged the boys to open up, but it’s also the support of the women in their lives: Kate and Meghan.
