It’s been a jam-packed week for both Harry and William, who for have both spoken openly about their mother Diana in a new ITV documentary, Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.

The 35-year-old father shared how he has kept her memory alive for his own children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

“So we’ve got more photos up round the house now of her and we talk about her a bit and stuff. And it’s hard because obviously Catherine didn’t know her, so she cannot really provide that – that level of detail,” he explained.

“So I – I do regularly put George or Charlotte to bed, talk about her and just try and remind them that there are two grandmothers, there were two grandmothers in their lives, and so it’s important that they – they know who she was and that she existed.”

Diana was pregnant with Harry in this image.

Harry recalls his mum encouraging him to love life and be naughty.

Wills, who thinks the kids would have called her “Granny Diana”, added, “She’d be a nightmare grandmother, absolute nightmare.”

“She’d love the children to bits, but she’d be an absolute nightmare. She’d come and go and she’d come in probably at bath time, cause an amazing amount of scene, bubbles everywhere, bathwater all over the place and – and then leave.”

Sir Elton John also featured in film, speaking candidly about his dear friend: “She changed so much for so many.”
