The Final Words Prince William Ever Spoke to Diana Tear Our Hearts

The news of Princess Diana’s passing shocked everyone. The “People’s Princess” was mourned by millions of people throughout the world, and her funeral became the most watched broadcast in history. Many people felt as though they had lost a relative. For Prince William and Prince Harry, it was tragically true. When their mother passed away while they were still young, the brothers made a legendary trek behind her casket as she was laid to rest.

The accident happened while the brothers were at Balmoral, and the news the next day was nothing short of a major shock. Just the day before their mother was killed in a horrible car accident in Paris, Prince William and Prince Harry had chatted with her. Prince William discussed their mum in an interview, revealing the emotional weight of their final conversation.

Princess Diana’s car collided in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France, at around 12:23 in the morning on August 31, 1997. She was accompanied by a driver and bodyguard as she left the Ritz Hotel in a car with her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed. They collided in the Paris tunnel at a high rate of speed while being pursued by paparazzi photographers.

Biographer Howard Hodgson, author of Charles: The Man Who Will Be King, claims that Diana believed Queen Elizabeth and Charles intended to keep her apart from her children. According to Hodgson, Diana was well aware that the Queen had the constitutional right and authority under common law to take control of both boys’ care and education. This led Diana to fear that if she burned all her bridges with the Royal Family, she might be excluded from her sons’ lives.

Despite her fears, Diana always stayed in touch with William and Harry, whether she was near home or somewhere else in the world. On the evening of August 30, 1997, she called her kids from Paris. In the documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, William and Harry revealed more about their last conversation with their mother. Harry admitted he couldn’t recall the specifics of their chat but regretted its briefness for the rest of his life. He reflected on the things he would have said to his mother if he had known it would be the final time he would talk to her.

These final words and missed moments highlight the deep bond between Diana and her sons and serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring impact of a mother’s love.
