William, who never made his feelings about his mother public, changed his mind after becoming the royal patron of the Child Bereavement Charity.

Princes Diana died in 1997 in a car crash when Prince William was just 15 years old.

Prince William went on say that “initially there is a sense of profound shock and disbelief that this could ever happen to you. Real grief often does not hit home until much later. For many it is a grief never entirely lost."

"Life is altered as you know it, and not a day goes past without you thinking about the one you have lost."

He added: "I know that over time it is possible to learn to live with what has happened and with the passing of years, to retain or rediscover cherished memories."
