Nearly thirty years after his parents exchanged their wedding vows, Prince William walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey with his new bride. 'My Mother Diana' looks at how Diana’s life, her relationship with the House of Windsor, the media and the public have shaped her eldest son, Prince William. When a twenty year-old Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, their wedding at St Paul’s was watched by billions; it was the last great royal wedding to galvanise the British public. But that relationship would develop into a romantic tragedy, whose effects would be more profound than anyone could have imagined. In his marriage to Kate Middleton, Prince William is entering into a new and independent stage of his life…a life in which his mothers influence and presence appear centre-stage and ever-present.. It is easy to forget that William’s formative years were not the idyll with the ’Princess of People’s Hearts’…rather they took place in the midst of a vicious divorce battle. William’s loyalties divided and fought over during the War of the Wales.
‘My Mother Diana’ is the story of Charles and Diana's marriage from a new and revealing point of view. It’s the story of how their marriage shaped William. It explores the effect of his mother’s relationships, the tell-all book she collaborated on with Andrew Morton, the effects of her Panorama interview and William's reaction to his father’s relationship with Camilla. On the surface William appears to be a product of the old order, groomed by the House of Windsor. But William is the son of Diana – who transcended celebrity and transformed the monarchy. This film seeks to understand William by exploring his relationship with his mother and examines where William was as key moments of her later life played out; because what she went through made him who he is today Why did William propose using his mother’s engagement ring? And what does it tell us about this future King and the legacy of his mother Diana? Fourteen years after her death Diana’s influence appears undiminished. But will William be the King Diana wished him to be?

"Whatever in love means" My heart broke for her when her face changed... we love you Diana. Charles didn't deserve you.
-
Diana was indeed a true princess. not just by title but by her heart and kindness. may she rest in peace next to God...
-
14:53 “William pushed some tissue under the bathroom door and said, “Please don’t cry mommy”” 🥺🥺
-
Diana deserved a man who was crazy inlove with her. She'd be alive right now.
-
I’m glad her two boys have married for love...she would be proud. R.I.P Diana, a queen in everyone’s eyes.
-
I think it’s safe to say Camilla is one of the most hated women in the country
-
She was the most beautiful princess ever.
-
The only reason Charles struck with Camilla is because he knew she will never get more attention than him and people hate her more 😅
-
As a child, I watched her get married. As a teenager, I watched her struggle to free herself from that toxic marriage. As a young mother with a newborn, I watched her funeral with tears streaming down my face. It will be twenty years, this summer, since she has passed and I still find myself fascinated with her life....and her death.
-
Diana's boys remain so humble, after all these years. She'd be proud. She is proud.
-
Who else here after watching The Crown season 4?
-
You can tell immediately that this is a ROYAL documentary, because they constantly blame the victim, Diana instead of the real monsters, THE ROYAL FAMILY.
-
Diana was so bold. She seems to be the 1st royal to confront a husband's mistress. Alot of people felt she should have taken it silently like others.

"Everybody likes a strong, independent woman until she acts like one" ~Anonymous

Actually, it isnt just about adultery committed by Prince Charles but also, it's about his insecurities. He felt jealous of Diana bcoz she received more attention and love from his people than him.. Camilla also felt the same way, that's why Charles resented Diana even more. He even called Diana selfish (just because of the attention she received from everybody), when it's him who's being selfish.
-
I never knew he gave Kate his Mother’s engagement ring. She chose it because it was like her mother’s and her eyes, which William shares always. He grew up to be the sweet man that Diana would have, and did, raise.
-
William's eyes were opened by Diana, but Harry's eyes are naturally Diana's eyes. He seems to be just like her. 💙
-
I love how all the comments are just Roasting Camila and Charles
-
“The crown,” has me in a deep rabbit hole of YouTube researching Diana. I just love her.
-
That moment at 37:30 truly encapsulates who Diana is. Such a simple gesture, yet means so much. Shows that she really was out to make a difference, that she was so caring and loving and she wanted to use her fame for good to bring awarness to issues facing the whole world. A loving and genuine heart. May she rest peacefully in Gods arms.
