Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what her sons have to say. They knew her very well and adored her. At the very least this programme won't be a hate-fest on a dead woman, ascribing all sorts of motives to her, dissecting her mental health issues and shredding her character.

Nor will it pile most of the blame for the sadness of her life on her own behaviour, as if others had no bearing on the situation at all.

I'm looking forward to hearing how her sons regard her as an inspiration, how she has influenced their lives even from beyond the grave, and listening to friends who also knew and loved her.

[royalanthropologist]

I too I am hopeful that some random people do not misinterpret the documentary. i.e. ;" Oh they are praising their mum. Must be because they hate their dad". The boys can praise their mum and love their dad as well. The two things are not incompatible. It is about time the world heard from them directly because as far as I am concerned they are one of the select few people who truly knew Diana and loved her.

[royalanthropologist]

Yes. It is about Diana and I hope that is how it remains. I think it was about time William and Harry took back their mother's legacy so that it is not entirely defined by third parties (proponents and opponents).

[TLLK]

It might also be the time for the brothers to tie in their work with mental health awareness by acknowledging that they have other family members (including their mother) who have benefited from seeking treatment with a professional. In the 1990's Diana's admission that she suffered from binge eating and bulimia prompted others in record numbers to seek assistance. Here is the opportunity to reach out to a new generation.

[Curryong]

This is very true, TLLK, and I hope they do that. However, I fear that in this, as in so much else in life, people's financial position is the final determinant in a patient seeing a therapist or psychiatrist on a regular basis and whether they can slip discreetly into a private (expensive) clinic or have to wait quite a long time on waiting lists to enter state facilities. It's this, in my view, that shows the limits of Heads Together, valuable though this campaign has been in encouraging others to seek assistance.

[TLLK]

^^^And sadly in light of recent government action this will likely be the case for those without access to private health care.

William on Diana. In his own words

[Curryong]

The impact of separation and divorce on young children in a marriage can never be underestimated. It's still reverberating with William and Harry over twenty years later. Now, they get a chance for a cathartic session they can share with others and talk about their mum. That can only be good. It's excellent too that William talks to his children about their grandmother.

[royalanthropologist]

One of the important lessons for children of divorced parents is that it is not their fault. They cannot become invigilators of a marriage that was not theirs in the first place. All the people who support the broken family must try to keep the kids well out of the drama, even if that means not saying things that one wants to say. 

I was particularly taken aback by the notion of children being ferried to and from one parent with not enough time with either parent. That is where divorcing parents sometimes get it very wrong. Your personal issues as a couple should never be allowed to interfere with your responsibilities as parents. That means not using children as pawns and certainly not asking them to take sides. Very insightful documentary though. I did find the "tummy" comment a bit strange but maybe that is how William expresses himself.

[sandy]

There are many children of divorce  in the world today. IT is very sad and tough on the children.  The boys had access to media and papers all these years so they could draw their own conclusions. I don't think the tummy comment is strange. Will has little children around and that's the sort of language parents use with little children. I think that impacted the way he talks on the documentary. I don't think William and Harry particularly liked their late mother trashed by Penny Junor, they are not going to attack her publicly but they appear to have countered some of her vitriol. It also refutes the notion that was going around that William was not speaking to his mother right before she died. Obviously he was according to his own testimony. There are subtle ways to counter things. I hope William's children and Harry's future children grow up in happy homes with no divorce. That is what should be the hope that comes out of this.

And I am glad they got the chance.  I am encouraged to by William's saying he is telling his children about their grandmother. Good for him.

[Trudie]

Nothing strange about William using the phrase of in the tummy. William has children and is mindful that perhaps children will watch the documentary with their parents. William and Harry were so very lucky to have had a mother that truly showed her love for them and William is making sure his children know all about their wonderful grandmother and not just their step grandmother.

[royalanthropologist]

Ah well. I did not consider that. The phrase tummy seemed so toddlerish but if he had his children in mind then perhaps it explains it.
