Prince William and Prince Harry are becoming more
and more candid about their late mother, Princess Diana, as the 20th
anniversary of her death approaches. In the new British documentary Diana, Our
Mother: Her Life and Legacy, which airs on Monday, the royals open up about the
very last conversation they had with her before she died.
"The very last
memory I have is a phone call from Balmoral [Castle in Scotland]," William
said. "At the time, Harry and I were running around, minding our own
business, playing with our cousins and having a very good time. Harry and I
were in a desperate rush to say 'Goodbye, see you later, can I go off?' If I'd
known what was going to happen I wouldn't have been quite so blasé about it.
That phone call sticks in my mind quite heavily."
The memory of that phone call has also haunted Harry
over the years. "It was her speaking from Paris," he recalled.
"I can't necessarily remember what I said but all I do remember is
regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was. If I'd known
that that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother, the things
I
would have said to her. Looking back at it now - it's incredibly hard. I have
to deal with that for the rest of my life: not knowing that it was the last
time I'd speak to my mum, how differently that conversation would have panned
out if I'd had even the slightest inkling that her life was going to be taken
that night."
