Princess Diana is a dear mother to sons Prince William and Prince Harry Before her death in August 1997.
“My childhood, I remember, laughed, was full of happiness, and filled with adventure,” Harry remembered during his Netflix 2022 dockuries, Harry & Meghan.
Harry was 12 and William was 15 when their mother died at the age of 36 following a car accident in Paris. The two boys talked honestly about Diana during the 2017 HBO documentary Diana, our mother: her life and heritage.
“I miss that feeling, I miss having that mother to give you that hug and that compassion that everyone needs,” said Harry, in part. “Behind closed doors, she was a loving, very caring mother and an incredibly funny person. I think she lives a lot of her life, especially in private, through us and I think the childish fun element really came out when she was spending time with us.”
Keep scrolling to look back at Diana’s sweetest quotes for William and Harry before her death:
“Most importantly, (my role is) being a mother and wife,” Diana declared in an interview in 1985. “That’s what I’m trying to achieve; whether I do another thing, but I try.”
He also said: “I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.”
Famously, Diana took her children to school, remembering the moment William sent away for the first time in September 1985.
“I was (a little sad) because he opened another chapter in my life and certainly William,” he shared at the time. “But he’s ready for it. He’s a very independent child.”
“I will fight for my children at any level so that they can reach their potential as human beings, and in their public duties,” said Diana in an interview in 1995.
In the same interview in 1995, broadcast through BBC1, Diana revealed a piece of advice she shared with her eldest son.
“I went to school and put it to William, especially, if you find someone you love in life, you have to hang on and care for it,” he said. “And if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then you have to defend it.”
Married William Princess Kate Middleton In April 2011, and they share three children: Prince George. The princess Charlotte and Louis Prince.
Longtime Diana Friend Richard Kay He revealed that his last phone call with him related to William and Harry. They spoke shortly before her death in 1997.
“Police said it was the last call she made for me,” he said in a 2021 documentary, revealing that Diana was “in a pretty good place,” but “she wanted to come back to see her boys.”
