Last call that haunts them still...
DIANA phoned the Princes at Balmoral from her last holiday with Dodi Al Fayed – a call that causes them heartache to this day.
In tonight’s revealing BBC documentary, Harry says: ‘I think it was about teatime for us. I was a typical kid running around playing games with my brother and cousins, and being told “Mummy’s on the phone” and I was like, “Right, I just really want to play.”
‘I had to live with that for the rest of my life, knowing that I was that 12-year-old boy wanting to get off the phone and run around and play games rather than speak to my mum.’ Last month, he admitted to ITV: ‘As a kid I never enjoyed speaking to my parents on the phone.
‘We spent far too much time speaking on the phone rather than speaking to each other, because of [the divorce].’
William shares his brother’s sense of guilt. He told ITV: ‘Harry and I were just in a desperate rush to say goodbye, you know, see you later and we’re going to go off.
‘If I’d known now, obviously, what was going to happen I wouldn’t have been so blasé about it.
‘That phone call sticks in my head quite heavily.’
If I’d known that was the last time I was going to speak to her, the conversation would have gone in a very different direction. I had to live with that for the rest of my life Harry
