Prince William still grieves over Princess Diana’s death. He just opened up about grief and grieving and explained how he feels about it and that it never goes away.  Previously, he never talked about his mother or how he felt of her fatal accident.

Prince William tells the Daily Mirror:

Prince William has spoken for the first time about the devastating effect of losing his mother as a teenager.

The prince, who was just 15 when Princess Diana died, said: ‘Never being able to say the word “Mummy” again in your life sounds like a small thing.

‘However, for many, including me, it’s now really just a word – hollow and evoking only memories.’

The 26-year-old prince has always refused to talk in public about his grief, but he changed his mind after becoming the Royal Patron of the Child Bereavement Charity.

For many it is a grief never entirely lost. Life is altered as you know it, and not a day goes past without you thinking about the one you have lost.

However, I also know that over time it is possible to learn to live with what has happened and, with the passing of years, to retain or rediscover cherished memories.

I think William is truly maturing and may be looking to settle down now.  And I think he is coming to grips with his mother’s death, a decade after it happened.
