Royal Family News: Prince Harry And William Want Answers About Paparazzi’s Role In Mom’s Death

British royal family news reveals that Prince William and Prince Harry were young boys when their mother, the late Princess Diana suffered a fatal injury in a Paris car crash. Now Lord John Stevens is sharing his memories of that tragic time, specifically a challenging talk he had with the grieving boys. Stevens is a former police chief and he was tasked with investigating the fatal 1997 car crash which claimed the beloved princess’s life. At that very sad time he spent about an hour talking to her two sons.

Royal Family News – Diana Died A Tragic Death

Stevens, who is now 79, told Us Weekly, “Yes, of course, it was a difficult thing … I went along with two other people who were part of the investigation [including a] detective inspector, and [when we were] outside the door [at Kensington Palace], it was said, ‘No, they only wanna see you,’ that’s me.”

He added: “So, I went in there and we had … over an hour, probably, I can’t remember exactly how long. I outlined what the conclusions were for about 10 or 15 minutes and then the rest of the time was them asking me questions, which you’d expect because they didn’t know the circumstances of their mother’s death, where [and] when she’d died, what did she say and, and beyond that, I don’t wanna declare what the conversations were.”

Royal Family News – Diana’s Death Was Shocking

Stevens also speaks about that trying time in the upcoming “The Diana Investigations” docuseries on Discovery. William the Duke of Cambridge and Harry the Duke of Sussex were 15 and 12, respectively when their mother died. He recalls the discussion that day as “very emotional” for both boys.

He added, “I have to say, I was quite emotional about it myself. What they were angry about, they declared it publicly, were the paparazzi who they thought were very much behind what had taken place by chasing the car and making the car or inducing the car to go at 75 miles an hour. They weren’t too happy about that. I can tell you.”

Royal Family News – William Speaks About His Mother’s Death

Both Prince William and Harry have spoken publicly about their stunning loss, with the former saying that it took him, “five to seven years,” to process his loss.

William said in the 2017 HBO documentary, “Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy: “Slowly, you try to rebuild your life, you try to understand what happened. I kept myself busy, as well, to allow you to get yourself through that initial shock phase. We’re talking maybe as much as five to seven years afterwards.”

He added, “You know, there was times when you look to someone or something for strength and I very much felt she was there for me.”

He also makes sure that her memory lives on for the grandchildren who never got a chance to meet Diana. “I do regularly, [while] putting George and Charlotte to bed … just try to remind them that there are two grandmothers — there were two grandmothers in their lives. And it’s important they know who she was and that she existed.”

“We’ve got more photos up around the house of her, and we talk about her a bit and stuff. And it’s hard because obviously my wife didn’t know her, so she cannot really provide that level of detail,” he said.
