A deeply emotional truth about Princess Diana has finally come to light, revealing a regret she carried silently until her final days. A close friend has now confirmed the private guilt that weighed heavily on her heart when it came to Prince William and Prince Harry.
According to People magazine, the confession came just ten days before Diana’s tragic passing in 1997. During a private holiday in Greece, she opened up to her dear friend Rosa Monckton in a conversation that has remained hidden for nearly three decades.
Their discussion turned to her explosive Panorama interview in 1995, the broadcast that stunned the world and forever changed public understanding of the royal family.
Monckton recalled Diana admitting that she deeply regretted doing the interview because of the emotional impact it had on her sons. It was an ache she could not ignore as she worried about Prince William and Prince Harry and how the revelations shaped their childhood.
The original Panorama broadcast became one of the most investigated interviews in history. Diana spoke candidly about her marriage, her emotional struggles and her battle with bulimia.
But years later, devastating details emerged about how the interview was obtained. In 2021, the Dyson report confirmed that journalist Martin Bashir had used forged documents and deceit to manipulate Diana into the conversation.
Monckton noted that Diana cut people out of her life because Bashir told her to trust no one. The princess was already vulnerable and the deception deepened the emotional chaos surrounding her.
Investigative reporter Andy Webb later uncovered an even darker pattern of manipulation behind the scenes. He said Diana’s life became increasingly unstable in the period between the interview and her untimely death.

This revelation shook both Prince William and Prince Harry. William expressed that the interview intensified his mother’s fear, isolation and anxiety during an already painful time.
Prince Harry went even further, stating that the deceit and manipulation played a direct role in the circumstances that ultimately cost Princess Diana her life.
The brothers have long carried the emotional scars of losing their mother, and this resurfaced truth has reopened wounds over how she was treated by the media.
Diana’s regret speaks to the love and protection she always felt toward William and Harry. Her sons were the centre of her life and she constantly feared anything that might harm them emotionally.
Those close to her believe that the guilt she felt over the Panorama fallout stayed with her in her final days. She confided only in trusted companions, never wanting her boys to feel the weight of her sadness.
The tragedy of it all is that Diana believed she was doing the interview to protect herself and her sons. Instead, it brought consequences she never intended, leaving her with a sorrow she could not shake.
Even now, the story continues to shape the lives of Prince William and Prince Harry as they grapple with the complex legacy left behind. Her regret reminds the world that beneath the royal spotlight was a mother who loved her children fiercely and endlessly.
