The Duke of Cambridge spent almost 20 years to come to terms with the death of his late mother.
Princess Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997, and on the 20th anniversary of her death Prince William has spoken out about his coping mechanism and how he long it took him to feel more at peace after the loss.
Speaking in an interview with GQ magazine, the 34-year-old royal said: "I am not looking forward to it, no, but I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time, where I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly and I can remember her better and publicly talk about her better.
"It has taken me almost 20 years to get to that stage. I still find it difficult now because at the time it was so raw.
"And also it is not like most people’s grief, because everyone else knows about it, everyone knows the story, everyone knows her.
"It is a different situation for most people who lose someone they love, it can be hidden away or they can choose if they want to share their story. I don’t have that choice really. Everyone has seen it all."
