Prince William On Mother’s Death: Grief Is The ‘Most Painful Experience’ To Endure

Prince William grew up in front of the world. And the world watched him grieve the sudden and tragic death of his mother when he was only 15.

Now 33 and a father of two, he spoke about Princess Diana’s death during a charity dinner in a moving, and very rare, speech, ABC News reported.

The prince doesn’t often speak about his mother, who was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Only three years earlier, she launched Child Bereavement UK, which helps children grieving the death of a parent or parents grieving the death of a child.
