Kate Middleton made a rare comment about her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana when she was at an official royal event. Someone asked the Princess of Wales a direct question. This led to a heartfelt answer about how she thought the late Princess Diana would have gotten along with her grandchildren.
Kate Middleton opened up about Princess Diana as a grandmother.
Kate Middleton was caught on camera talking to royal fans who had come to Wales to see the prince and princess. At Merthyr Tydfil, Kate talked to many of her biggest fans.
Kate Middleton rarely talks about Princess Diana, who passed away in 1997. It’s Prince William who usually talks about his mother instead of his wife since she never met the late princess.
But one fan of the royal family asked the Princess of Wales a direct question. They asked about the beautiful sapphire and diamond engagement ring that Diana had given to Kate Middleton. The Daily Mail shared a video of the conversation.
Kate confirmed that the “same ring” belonged to her mother-in-law. She also said that she didn’t have to change anything to make it fit her finger.
And it was exactly the same size,
Kate shared.
It is very special. What an honor to be able to wear it.
The Princess of Wales continued,
But sadly, I never got to meet her.
Kate thinks Diana would have been a “brilliant” grandmother, and she says that the family “misses her every day.”
How many grandchildren does Princess Diana have?
So far, Princess Diana has a total of five grandchildren. Prince William and Prince Harry are the children of the Princess of Wales and King Charles III, who is now King. The couple was married for 15 years, from 1981 through 1996.
In 2011, Prince William got married to Kate Middleton. On July 22, 2013, they had their first child, a boy named Prince George. Princess Charlotte, their only daughter, was born on May 2, 2015. Prince Louis was born on April 23, 2018. He is their third son.
On May 19, 2018, Prince Harry married Meghan Markle, ex. American actress. They have two children. On May 6, 2019, Prince Archie was born. Their daughter, Lilibet, was born on June 4, 2021.
Princess Diana always wanted to have more children.
Princess Diana talked to royal biographer Ingrid Seward a month before her untimely death in 1997. They talked about whether or not she was going to get married again.
Seward said to Express that Harry wanted a brother or sister. But Prince William didn’t want his mom to get married again.
In June 1997, we discussed if she’d get married again,
Seward claimed.
She said [son Prince] Harry was always asking her to have another baby because he was fed up with being the youngest.
But it was a bit difficult, she told him, because she wasn’t married,
Seward continued.
She said she’d love more children and didn’t see herself being single forever. Harry wanted her to get married again, but William didn’t. He wanted Diana to be all there for him.
In August 1997, Princess Diana died from injuries she received in a car crash in Paris, France. Dodi al-Fayed, her friend, and Henri Paul, her driver, both died at the scene. Trevor Reese-Jones was the only passenger to make it out alive.
