In a heart-wrenching revelation, the Duke shared his inner turmoil following the tragic passing of his mother, Princess Diana.

Amidst the turbulent times within the royal family, the Duke bravely unveiled some of the most poignant moments he endured after the loss of Princess Diana.

It was on August 31, 1997, when the Duke, merely 12 years old at the time, was informed by his father, the King, about Diana’s untimely demise.

The Duke’s initial concern was for his mother’s well-being, but he also confessed that his father’s words had a lasting impact on him, akin to sharp darts piercing a board.

Recalling the harrowing moment, the Duke vividly described how the King sat beside him, placing a hand on his knee as he delivered the devastating news.

The Duke recounted the unfamiliar look in his father’s eyes, a gaze he had never encountered before, as reported by GB News.

Despite being informed about the accident, the Duke anxiously awaited reassurance from his father regarding his mother’s condition.

“The patient has been sent to the hospital, where her head will be treated.

The Duke and I will visit her once we get there.

Hopefully by tonight, the son’s reasoning will have been clear,” the Duke shared.

At the tender age of 12, the Duke came to the stark realization that his mother had indeed passed away, contrary to his earlier hopes.

The King’s words echoed in his mind, “They tried, darling boy.

My worst fear is that she did not survive,” leaving an indelible mark on the Duke’s young life.

He admitted to the profound impact of those words, revealing that he could not recall his own response at the time, emphasizing that he remained stoic, devoid of tears.

The absence of tears during such a poignant moment remains etched in his memory with startling clarity.

Following Princess Diana’s tragic demise, the Duke unveiled a poignant memento he had received.

His aunt, Sarah Ferguson, presented him with a small blue box containing a lock of Diana’s hair, a precious keepsake that served as a tangible connection to his beloved mother.

The Duke reminisced about how his mother had her hair cut in Paris, a detail Sarah had thoughtfully explained to him.
