PRINCES SAY DIANA LOVED Our naughty

William red faced when princess brought three supermodels

PRINCESS Diana was a naughty parent who loved to make mischief, say her two sons.

She would delight in dressing the little princes in zany outfits, sending them funny cards and smuggling them sweets inside their sports kits.

The loving mum even brought in three supermodels to meet William, who only 12 or 13 at the time.

Princes William and Harry reveal the fun-loving, jokey side of Diana in a heartwarming joint interview.

They lift the lid on their life with Diana, who they describe as “a total kid through and through”.

The touching scenes are shown on ITV tomorrow in Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.

The brothers, now 35 and 32, were 15 and 12 when Diana died.

And their incredibly close bond shines through as they look at old family photos and openly chat about their happy childhood memories.

The pair fondly remember how their mum loved to dress them in the “most bizarre outfits”.

Rude

Harry said: “Looking back at the photos it just makes me laugh. I just think, ‘How could you do that to us?’

“It’s one thing I would love to ask her now – because I genuinely think that she got satisfaction out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits – normally matching.

“It was weird shorts and you know like, little sort of shiny shoes with the old clip on.”

He said: “And then funnily enough, we got to the age when William would turn round and go, ‘Oh this is ridiculous, you know, I’m the older brother, why do I have to be dressed the same as him?’

“And I’m sort of sitting there going, ‘Hang on a second, if you’re going to dress differently I’m not going to be the only person dressed like this – this is just ridiculous.”

But despite the embarrassing memories, the equally mischievous prince says he is “sure as hell” going to dress his own kids in the same way.

“She really enjoyed the laughter and the fun,” said William, recalling his mum’s love of “rude cards”.

He said: “She had a very cheeky sense of humour.

“She was a massive card writer. She loved the rudest cards you could imagine. I’d be at school and I’d get a card from my mother. Usually she found something, you know, very embarrassing, you know, very funny, and then wrote very nice stuff inside.

“But I dared not open it in case the teachers or anyone else in the class had seen it.”

But that embarrassment was nothing compared with the mortifying moment when William came home from school to discover his mum had arranged for supermodels Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington to be waiting for him.

He said: “I was probably a 12 or 13-year-old boy who had posters of them on his wall. And I went bright red and didn’t know what to say and sort of fumbled and I think I pretty much fell down the stairs on the way up.

“I was completely and utterly sort of awestruck. But that was a very funny memory.” He said it showed she was loving but was also a joker who liked to tease him.

Smuggle

Harry said: “That sort of childish, fun element really came out when she was spending time with us.

“Our mother was a total kid through and through... All I can hear is her laugh in my head. That sort of crazy laugh of where there was just pure happiness shown on her face.

“One of her mottos to me was, ‘You can be as naughty as you want, just don’t get caught.’

“She was one of the naughtiest parents. She would come and watch us play football and, you know, smuggle sweets into our socks.”

He recalled walking back from a football match with five packets of Starburst and his “whole shirt bursting with sweets”.

Harry said: “Behind closed doors she was a very loving, caring mother and an incredibly funny person.” He revealed how his mum always tried to give them as normal an upbringing as possible.

He said: “And if that means, you know, taking us for a burger every now and then, or sneaking us into the cinema or driving through the country lanes with the roof down of her oldschool BMW listening to Enya, I think it was... all that was part of her being a mum.”

And he says he and his brother were never in any doubt that their mother loved them deeply.

“It was that love that... that even if she was on the other side of a room,
