It's taken 20 years to come to terms with mother's death: Prince William

May 29, 2017 23:01

Britain's Prince William has said that it has taken him 20 years to open about his mother's death, as he lamented that his wife Kate Middleton and children will never meet Princess Diana.

The Duke of Cambridge, whose mother Diana, Princess of Wales, died 20 years ago in August, said he would like to have had her advice.

"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," the 34-year-old British royal told the GQ magazine in a candid interview to publicise charity Heads Together.

William said it has taken nearly 20 years for him to become comfortable speaking about his mother's demise.

Talking about the imminent anniversary of his mother's death, he said, "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."

"It has taken me almost 20 years to get to that stage. 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," the second in line to the throne said.
