Prince William: I feel emptiness on Mother's Day

Royal misses his mum Princess Diana

Friday, 13 March 2009

Prince William has opened up for the first time about the death of his mum Princess Diana.

The royal passed away in 1997 after being involved in a car crash in Paris, when Wills was just 15.

'Mother's Day is so painful for grieving families; for mothers remembering a lost child or for children longing for their mother – a day of happiness turned to sadness,’ he said.

‘Losing a close family member is one of the hardest experiences that anyone can ever endure.

'Never being able to say the word "Mummy" again in your life sounds like a small thing.

‘However, for many, including me, it's now really just a word – hollow and evoking only memories.

‘I can therefore wholeheartedly relate to the Mother's Day campaign as I too have felt – and still feel – the emptiness on such a day as Mother's Day.’

William, 26, made the comments yesterday as it was announced he is has become the Royal Patron of the Child Bereavement Charity.
