William and Harry Talk about Last Phone Conversation with their Mother

The loss of Princess Diana has shaken the whole world when it happened years back. However, it has surely been an even more tragic event for her family and for her two young boys. Now, Prince Harry and Prince Williams are grownups, but the tragedy has shaken their childhood.

A new documentary about the death of Princess Diana has revealed the last memories that Harry and William have of their mother. The two didn’t have the chance to say a proper goodbye to their mother before she passed away in a car accident. Both Harry and William regretted that their last phone call with their mom was short and they actually wanted the call to end.

“The very last memory I have is a phone call from Balmoral [Castle in Scotland],” William revealed in the documentary. “At the time Harry and I were running around, minding our own business, playing with our cousins and having a very good time,” he went on to say. “Harry and I were in a desperate rush to say ‘Goodbye, see you later, can I go off?’ If I’d known what was going to happen I wouldn’t have been quite so blase about it. That phone call sticks in my mind quite heavily,” William explained.

Of course, both William and Harry would have wanted to have a more meaningful last conversation with their mother. “It was her speaking from Paris,” Harry also said. “I can’t necessarily remember what I said but all I do remember is regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was. If I’d known that that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother, the things I would have said to her,” the prince added.

Harry went on to say that thinking about that conversation has always been very hard for him. Of course, he did not know that would have been the “last time I’d speak to my mum, how differently that conversation would have panned out if I’d had even the slightest inkling that her life was going to be taken that night.”

All these impressive statements were made in the documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, a documentary movie dedicated, of course, to Princess Diana.

Prince William Talks about his Mother during New Interview

Prince William decided to open up about his mother, Princess Diana, during a new interview. William definitely has a very beautiful family with his wife Kate Middleton and it seems that the only regret that he has is that his mother will never meet his family.

Prince William opened up during an interview with British GQ and made some unique revelations. The prince said that he is sad that his mom will never be able to meet his wife and his two children. “I would like to have had her advice,” the 34 year old prince said. “I would love her to have met Catherine and to have seen the children grow up. It makes me sad that she won’t, that they will never know her.”

Being able to talk about his late mother has not been simple for William. In fact, it took him no less than 20 years before being able to do this. “I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time, where I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly, and I can remember her better, and publicly talk about her better,” he said. “It has taken me almost 20 years to get to that stage.”

William went on to say that it is still not easy because of his position. “I still find it difficult now because at the time it was so raw. And also it is not like most people’s grief, because everyone else knows about it, everyone knows the story, everyone knows her,” William explained. “It is a different situation for most people who lose someone they love, it can be hidden away or they can choose if they want to share their story.”

Prince William also talked about his role and how he manages to deal with all the attention that he gets. He said that he has been able to cope with everything because he has the support and the stability of his family, which is very important to him. He said that he just wants his two children to have a normal life and not grow up “behind palace walls.”
