It is a subject he rarely discusses. However, Prince William was deeply bruised by the death of his mother Lady Diana, which occurred in 1997 when he was a teenager. On the occasion of a documentary produced by the BBC, and which will be broadcast on May 28, prince william explained how becoming a father revived the pain he felt during this tragic event. If the son of prince Charles always preferred to keep a part of discretion on the subject, the testimony of the footballer Marvin Sordell, who spoke about his own depression and attempted suicide because of the absence of his father, did it come out of his reserve. "I think when you have experienced something traumatic in life – like your father who was not there, or me, my mother who died when I was a teenager – emotions come back by leaps and bounds", he said at first.
Prince William talks about his role as father
The grandson of Queen Elizabeth then confided in paternity. "This is a life changing time and no one is around to help you. And I definitely found it very oppressive at times. So I can fully identify with what you are saying about having children . It’s one of the most incredible moments in life but it’s also one of the scariest. " To support him, William was able to count on the support of his wife, Kate Middleton, always present by his side to care for their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis. "Me and Catherine, we support each other and we live these moments together. We grow and learn together" he revealed. Very modest when it comes to evoking the death of Lady Di, Prince William nevertheless continues to pay him regular tributes. Last October, he had confessed tenderly to his mother, while he was in Pakistan. "I was a big fan of my mother. She came here three times. I was very small."
