Prince William and Prince Harry returned to their mother’s former home ahead of the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
The iconic royal died in Paris, France, on August 31 after she was involved in a car accident and to mark the occasion, her sons read messages and cards left at the gates of Kensington Palace and spoke to members of the public on Wednesday (30.08.17).
The British royals chatted to representatives of the eight charities closes to their mothers’ heart, with Harry asking them: "Tell me a story about my mum."
Tamara Rojo, the director of the English National Ballet, told William and Harry that a number of productions were only staged because of Diana’s fundraising efforts.
And in response to the praise of his mother, Prince William said: "We’ve got plenty of pictures.
"I remember her showing me ballet shoes she had been given and she was so proud of them. She loved dancing, she was a fantastic dancer."
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Prince William revealed he didn’t want his mother’s death to "break" him.
The 35-year-old royal was devastated when Princess Diana passed away when he was just 15, but he was determined not to let her untimely passing affect him so badly that it would ruin her "legacy".
He recently said: "When you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you’re 15, as very sadly many people have experienced and no one wants to experience – it’ll either make or break you. And I wouldn’t let it break me. I wanted it to make me.
"I wanted her to be proud of the person I’d become. I didn’t want her legacy to be William or Harry were completely and utterly devastated by it and all the hard work and the love she put into us when we were younger, for it to go to waste."
