A few words about Princess Diana

20 years ago the mother of the princes William and Harry died, who died in a terrible car accident. Here are some words about the death of Diana said to her eldest son:

"Despite the fact that my mother died in 1997, I still often remember her. I do not have enough of her advice and support, which is sometimes very necessary. I would very much like her to have an opportunity to see how her grandchildren grow up, and also to talk with Kate and me about raising children. It seems to me that she would be an excellent mentor in this matter, because her childhood, when she was there, I remember only with a smile. For me, this is one of the first interviews in which I talk about my feelings for my mother. I did not even try to do it, because I was very hurt. When I found out about Diana's death, I wanted to hide, I wanted to protect myself from all these conversations with journalists, but I could not do it. We are public, that's why Diana's departure was the number one news for everyone in the world. Now that many years have passed since the loss, I can talk about it. "

"Everything I do and achieved, it was impossible without the support of my family. For this I am very grateful to all my relatives, because it is thanks to them that I live in a family where harmony, kindness and understanding reign. When I look at my children, I understand that it is very important for me that they do not live behind the closed walls of the palace, but communicate with their peers and freely move around the country. For this we need, adults, make every effort to ensure that our children grow up in a safe and harmonious society. "

Of course, in an interview William could not get around this topic and said these words:

"Depression is a scourge of modern society. When I saw the statistics, I was shocked at the number of people who suffer from mental disorders. I do not quite understand why we are accepted in society, when the tooth is ill to go to the doctor, and when a person has thoughts of suicide silently experiencing them in himself. This is fundamentally wrong. I would very much like people to understand this in our world. "
