Prince William’s heartbreaking comments about his late mother Princess Diana have resurfaced after he revealed how he keeps her legacy alive through his own children.

‘To Di For’ podcast host Kinsey Schofield says Prince Harry has got “a lot of begging” to do to Prince William if he wants to get back into the royal fold.

A rare interview with Prince William talking about his late mother Princess Diana has resurfaced ahead of the Prince of Wales’ new documentary on homelessness.

William, 42, was just 15 years old when his mother was killed in a car accident in 1997 and has seldom spoken about Diana’s death publicly.

The Prince of Wales has shared new insight into how his late mother’s ground breaking charity work “inspires” his own philanthropy, including tackling homelessness.

In William’s upcoming ITV documentary ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’, the Prince of Wales recalled how his late mother introduced him to homeless charity The Passage.

“I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness,” he said in a preview for the documentary.

“That has grown more over the last few years.

“When I was very small my mother started talking about homelessness – much like I do now with my children on the school run.”

The comments marked the first time since 2017 that the Prince of Wales has given a media interview about the late Princess, who was just 36 years old when she did in the Alma tunnel.

Back in 2017, William told GQ magazine that walking behind his mother’s casket at her globally televised funeral was “one of the hardest things I’ve ever done”.

“In the situation I was in, it was self-preservation,” he said.

“I didn’t feel comfortable anyway, having that massive outpouring of emotion around me. I am a very private person, and it was not easy.

“There was a lot of noise, a lot of crying, a lot of wailing, people were throwing stuff, people were fainting.

“All I cared about was that I had lost my mum.”

Meanwhile, William’s estranged brother Prince Harry more recently opened up about losing his mother in his controversial memoir Spare.

In the book, Harry similarly described struggling with the intense public reaction sparked by his mother’s death and being forced to greet mourners despite his own grief.

“I remember feeling numb. I remember clenching my fists,” he wrote.

“I remember keeping a little piece of Willy in the corner of my eye because it gave me strength.”
