Prince William And Harry Reveal One Question They Wish They Could Ask Their Mother Amid Revelation They Slid Support Notes Under Her Door During Marriage Break-up

 

Prince William and Harry have shared their memories of their mother in a documentary marking the 20th anniversary of her death. Some of these memories are intimate ones that they have never spoken of before.
Also, Princess Diana's trusted butler Paul Burrell, who she called her “rock”, has made some revelations of his own, including that the Princes were upset by the break up of their parents' marriage and they would sometimes push notes under their mother's door to let her know everything will be OK. He said Diana knew the separation would affect her sons so she tried to make it easy on them by overcompensating and showering them with excessive love.
Butler said: "She knew how difficult it was for the boys when she and Charles separated. She felt she had to over­-compensate, so that’s why they would go to places like Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and Necker Island.
"It was upsetting for them to watch the fall-out of their parents’ marriage and whenever Diana got upset, they would push notes under her door saying, 'It will be OK'. Diana smothered them in love and they always slept in her room during that time and not the nursery."

While speaking in the ITV docu­mentary titled Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, the princes admit they were affected by the turbulence in their parents relationship. They said they were sometimes lonely as they struggled with their parents’ separation in 1992 and eventual divorce in 1996.
Harry says: "There was the point where our parents split and we never saw our mother enough or we never saw our father enough. There was a lot of travelling and a lot of fights on the back seat with my brother, which I would win. I don’t pretend we’re the only people to have to deal with that but it was an interesting way of growing up."
The ITV documentary shows Harry and William going through old never-before-seen family photos. Most of the photos show the Princes dressed in matching outfits and Harry said it's one of the things he would like to tak to his mother about.
"(That is) one thing I would love to ask her now, because I genuinely think that she got satisfaction out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits, normally matching. Looking back at the photos, it just makes me laugh. I think, 'How could you do that to us?'."

Harry described his mother as "one of the naughtiest parents" and admitted that he would dress his kids in the same way his mother dressed William and him.
Harry said with a laugh: "I like to think that she had great fun in dressing us up. I sure as hell am going to dress my kids up the same way."
He adds that Diana told him: "Be as naughty as you want, just don’t get caught."
Prince William, who is now a father himself, said he tries to keep his mother's memory alive by speaking to his kids about her. He has photos of her at Kensington Palace and his country home Anmer Hall in Norfolk. He explained that, when he tucks his children in at night, he speaks about Diana to remind them "there are two grandmothers in their lives".
William Went on to joke that if his mother were alive she would be a trying grandmother, adding.
He said: "She’d love the children to bits but she’d be an absolute nightmare. She’d come, probably at bath time, cause an amazing scene, bubbles everywhere, water all over the place and leave."
