We've made some changes
to The Sunday Times

William and I can separate life into two parts. There were those years when we were blessed with the physical presence beside us of both our mother and father.
And then there are the 10 years since our mother’s death.
When she was alive we completely took for granted her unrivalled love of life, laughter, fun and folly. She was our guardian, friend and protector.
She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated.
She will always be remembered for her amazing public work. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world.
We would say that wouldn’t we. But we miss her. She kissed us last thing at night. Her beaming smile greeted us from school. She laughed hysterically and uncontrollably when sharing something silly she might have said or done that day. She encouraged us when we were nervous or unsure.
She — like our father — was determined to provide us with a stable and secure childhood.
To lose a parent so suddenly at such a young age — as others have experienced — is indescribably shocking and sad. It was an event which changed our lives forever, as it must have done for everyone who lost someone that night.
But what is far more important to us now, and into the future, is that we remember our mother as she would have wished to be remembered — as she was: fun-loving, generous, down-to-earth, entirely genuine.
We both think of her every day. We speak about her and laugh together at all the memories.
Put simply, she made us, and so many other people, happy. May this be the way that she is remembered.

Lady Diana had a beautiful spirit a warm heart and a sincere
and happy smile.
Jessica Habibi, Southwick, West Sussex
I have never really known what Diana had done, or been like, because I am too young. But I can relate to loosing a mother at a young age, and I have pity for William and Harry. I hope they can live on with all the memories of there mother, and be happy with everything she had done. I hope the years to come for the family have happiness and light involved. Live for the moment. Never have regrets.

This a son really speaking from the heart about he and his brother's feel about the loss of a mother [ who he rightly described as the best mother in the whole world]
I can imagine how he feels, to live the rest of his life from such a tender age without one of his parent, especially the one who mattered most.
Its very difficult not to always think back and relish the years when dad and mum were beside both himself and Prince Wills,
How time flies,10 years has rolled by and it just seemslike yesterday. Its said that time is the greatest healer, but it doesn't seem to me like the pain has gone by, i
We miss you- the people's princess, I urge Princes Wills and Harry to take solace in the fact that she rests in our :Lords bossom.
I sincerely hope that by 20th anniversary of the celebration of her life, the sorrow of this passing would have gone by.
Hilary Egwuagu, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
I hope that one day my Son can say the same about me. Prince Harry was very grown up and I wish he could have had alittle more time with his Mother. The same goes for Prince William.

If there was ever any doubt that Diana was a wonderful mother it must have been dispelled today. How proud she would be of her two lovely sons who have grown up just as she wished.
L Graham, Birmingham,
I never heard the speach on TV, though reading it on the net, it sounds very orchestrated, planned, and far too politically correct.
The boys have obviously been given a line to tow.
they mention "both" their parents. Charles never knew his mother as anything but the Queen and instilled that into his sons, with regard to their feelings for him.
As a father, he was, it appeared more like a distant relative.
Only after Diana was rubbed out did he take every opportunity
to masquarade as a "Dad".
My advice to the boys, especially Harry, is "keep looking over your shoulder "especially if you slip and tell your real feelings".
Rocking the boat will prove costly at the hands of "The Firm".
Lets all be very truthful with each other......... that was no accident!!!!!!!!!
Keep chipping away Mohammad Al Fayed.
he is......was...... a real father.

Way to go, Harry.

i love that english boy

Though they are now grown up and have everything in life yet they will miss their mother always. She being most famous person will remain a celebrity and they will always be reminded of her love and affection. I think she was the best face of Britain. Unfortunately the Britain has smered its' face after that and today no one in Britain can take her place.
