The tragic story of the Holocaust continues to haunt the world, even decades later. Princess Diana. Comment on her unexpected death and the circumstances that led to it Prince WilliamHis mother was also present shortly before the tragedy. It was all the more heartbreaking.
William wanted his mother to leave The UK
In a 2007 documentary Diana: The Last Days Of A PrincessLong-time photographer for The SunArthur Edwards, a newspaper editor, shared his experiences with the princess. He had traveled to the south of France to photograph Diana, her sons, and her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed as they vacationed on Fayed’s yacht.
Edwards recalled the moment when the princess decided to stop allowing the paparazzi to photograph her. “Suddenly, she strode down some steps and very rapidly got into a boat,” he said. “I remember picking up the camera and she said, ‘No pictures.’”
Diana approached the photographers asking why they were there. They told her it was because she was there, and Diana responded, “William’s told me that I should leave England and go and live somewhere else.”
Edwards shared that he felt upset by the princess’ comments: “I thought, ‘I don’t want to be the reason why she’s going to live in exile.’” Princess Diana would pass away just a month later following a serious car crash.
How Diana’s Experiences Influenced William And Kate’s Relationship
William’s concern for his mother’s happiness and safety colored the way he felt about his then-girlfriend Kate Middleton when they first started dating. “He had seen firsthand how his mother had been harassed by the paparazzi and was determined that Kate not be subjected to the same treatment,” wrote Katie Nicholl in “Kate: The Future Queen.”
Middleton was even referred to an EU law by the prince. Kelvin MacKenzie was a former editor for the Sun, spoke about the situation in the latest documentary The Tabloids, and the Royals.
“He wants to protect [Kate] so he effectively invokes the law, there’s a European Court of Human Rights law saying everybody has a right to privacy. And he invoked that on Kate’s behalf,” MacKenzie said.
William And Harry’s Lives Today
William’s efforts to protect Middleton have obviously paid off. The couple enjoys a private life, raising their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — as normally as they can under the circumstances.
Prince Harry is also trying his best to live a normal existence. He moved to California in 2015 with Meghan Markle and their children Archie, and Lilibet. Harry and Markle, who were also the target of tabloid harassment, took William’s advice for their late mother by leaving England and their relentless press.
