Prince William breaks silence on his grief after Princess Diana

Prince William has just gotten honest about his experience with Princess Diana’s death at 15-years-old.

The entire speech came during the heir’s 30th anniversary dinner for Child Bereavement UK, according to the Daily Mail. 

The dinner at Windsor Castle was one to celebrate the charity’s connection to Winston's Wish, which is a charity set up to help bereaved children in Gloucestershire.

There the future King of England tugged at heartstrings by saying, “Grief is the very worst pain any child or parent will ever endure, and while we cannot prevent these losses, we can ensure that every possible type of expert support and care is given, to help rebuild the lives of those affected.”

Because “in my 16 years as patron of Child Bereavement UK, I have seen the life-changing impact of their work and how the support, care and compassion provided protects the long-term health and wellbeing of those living with loss.”

The prince also added, “I have also seen the growing need for support of this kind, and it is because of this increasing demand that I am delighted that Child Bereavement UK and Winston's Wish are joining forces to expand their impact.”

Because “they have recognised that together they can do so much more, and I commend them both for taking this bold step to reach more people and help to reduce the long-term challenges that unresolved grief can cause.”

At the event, the royal also spoke to a little girl named Rebecca who lost her dad at 15-years-old.

While speaking to her Prince William admitted he “really understood” her pain because he’s “been in the same situation, around our age as well.”

He was also seen adding, “sometimes the hardest thing about grief is finding the words for how you actually feel.”

However, he also told the teenager, “it's crucial in those first few years, particularly, that you have support like this...It gets you in a practice to know how to help yourself going forward.”

Because “the mind gets focused on one thing, doesn't it? It's very difficult to do school and normal life,” he concluded by saying.
