This year marks the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death and to commemorate her life, a series of events are set to take place across the country.
And in the past few months, her sons Princes William and Harry, have spoken out about the grief they suffered when they lost their mother.
The brothers also founded ground-breaking initiative Heads Together alongside Kate Middleton, in an effort to encourage the general public to speak more openly about mental health.
And in the latest issue of GQ, Prince William has opened up about losing his mother at the tender age of 15.
In the candid interview, the royal admitted: "I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time, where I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly, and I can remember her better, and publicly talk about her better. It has taken me almost 20 years to get to that stage."
William then went on to discuss the impact her death has had on his family as he told the publication,
"I would love her to have met Catherine and to have seen the children grow up. It makes me sad that she won’t, that they will never know her."
William has been working hard to promote the Heads Together campaign, in an effort to encourage the public to speak out when suffering mental health issues.
"Smashing the taboo is our biggest aim. People can’t access services till they feel less ashamed, so we must tackle the taboo, the stigma, for goodness sake, this is the 21st century," he told Alastair Campbell.
"I am shocked we are so worried about saying anything about the true feelings we have. Because mental illness is inside our heads, invisible, it means others tread so carefully, and people don’t know what to say, whereas if you have a broken leg in plaster, everyone knows what to say."
The 31st August 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death.
