Duchess of York: Diana would have been ‘naughtiest’ grandmother

The Duchess of York thinks Britain’s Princess Diana would have been the "naughtiest" grandmother.

The duchess, Sarah, believes the former wife of Prince Charles would be extremely proud of her sons Princes William and Harry, and would have loved William’s 17-month-old son, Prince George.

Speaking about what the princess would have been like as a grandparent, she said: "[Diana] would have just been the naughtiest, funniest and the best ever just because she loved her boys so much and she would be so proud of all of them and what they’ve achieved."

The royal died at the age of 36 in 1996 after being involved in a car crash in Paris, but the duchess, 55, is sure she would have been thrilled to see her sons are so happy, and would have enjoyed the company of William’s wife, the Duchess of Cambridge.

She continued: "They really are extraordinary boys and Katherine is incredible.

"I just think it is all goodness and we need to hear more about goodness and Diana would have loved that."

As well as praising the young royals for their close bonds with each other, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew gushed over "squishy" Prince George.

Speaking on ‘The Meredith Vieira Show’, she added: "I believe in love. I believe in just that goodness of love and I think they are a beautiful example of a great family, totally in love and with that delicious little George, so squishy, you know you want to eat him."
