Prince William's 'regret' over his last ever conversation with his mother Princess Diana
Prince William has openly expressed one enduring regret over his final conversation with mother Princess Diana. Here we reflect on the dark days around her death, and the happier memories from his early childhood...
She was just 36 when she and partner Dodi Al-Fayed, 42, and their driver Henri Paul, 41, died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. Pressure on them was already intense before they lost their mother, as they had been struggling with life in the spotlight, and were also caught between warring parents.
Though the pair had spoken to her the evening before when she rang from Paris, the call was brief – which has caused the brothers profound regret ever since. “Our grandmother deliberately removed the newspapers, and things like that, so there was nothing in the house at all. So we didn’t know what was going on,” William said in BBC documentary Diana, 7 Days, which also screened in 2017.
The haunting images of William and Harry walking alongside Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, 58, at the funeral remain etched in British memories.
