Perhaps one of the most photographed women of all time is Princess Diana.
With time, both sons have opened up about their mother and her legacy.
The pair officially separated in 1992 and went on to divorce following Diana’s bombshell BBC interview in 1995.
Specifically, Diana’s relationship with rugby player Carling was brought into the spotlight.
In fact, he credits his mother for showing him what emotional expression really consists of.
“William was absolutely livid,” Simone shared with the publication.
People at school were calling her all sorts of names."
But their marriage crumbled, and by 1996, the two were finally divorced.
Here’s where the young Prince William unexpectedly comes in.
“Don’t worry Mummy,” William reportedly said at the time.
“I will give it [HRH title] back to you one day when I am king.”
In his view, the BBC not only failed Diana, but failed his parents' marriage, too.
The interview, William added, was a “major contribution to making my parents' relationship worse.”
“Later, even Diana privately admitted she went too far in burdening him with her problems.”
Sadly, the vehicle was involved in a horrific accident, and both Diana and Dodi were killed.
In a handwritten letter obtained byHello!
Magazine, Diana wrote that just six months after welcoming Harry, William was protecting him at all costs.
This was, of course, a choice that bucked royal tradition.
“There really isn’t.
It’s like an earthquake has just run through the house and through your life and everything.
Your mind is completely split.
And it took me a while for it to actually sink in.”
“Being so small at that age, it was very difficult to communicate or understand your feelings.
It’s … it’s very complicated,” he said.
Bond went on to say that William would promise to “look after” his mom.
“I remember picking up the camera and she said, ‘No pictures.’
… She came over and said, ‘Why are you here?'”
“She would have been very upset at the way these two have split apart,” he added.
For her memory, here’s hoping that the two brothers mend their relationship with time.
