Princess Diana Is Missed

Harry said, “If I’d known that that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother the things that I would – the things I would have said to her.”

“There’s not a day that William and I don’t wish that she was still around, and we wonder what kind of a mother she would be now, and what kind of a public role she would have, and what a difference she would be making,” Harry noted.

The brothers are expected to come together on July 1 at Kensington Palace to unveil a statue in honor of their mother on what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday. They commissioned the statue together years back and today they live on different continents.
