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.
