Harry said, “I can’t remember exactly what I said. But I only remember – what I will regret for the rest of my life – how short the phone conversation was. If I had known that it was the last time I would speak to my mother, what would I have said to her.”

William added: “I remember feeling completely petrified, disoriented, all giddy. You feel very, very confused. And you keep asking yourself, ‘Why me?’ All the time: ‘Why? What have I done? Why? Why did this happen to us?’”

In the documentary, Harry also spoke about his mother’s funeral, which took place on September 6 in London. He said: “My mother had just died and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin surrounded by thousands of people watching me and millions more doing it on TV. I don’t think that should be asked of any child under any circumstances. I didn’t think it would happen today.”
