It was reportedly the interview Diana did with Martin Bashir for BBC’s Panorama about the state of her marriage that was the final straw for her son. Royal experts explained how upset William was at his mother for this in the documentary ‘Prince William at Thirty’, uploaded to YouTube in June 2012. The Princess of Wales shocked the world with how candidly she described life as a member of the Royal Family, her struggles with mental illness and infidelity – on national television.
The documentary said: “For William, who had alway supported his mother, this time she had gone too far.”
According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, William so upset at what she had done he refused to talk to his mother, which she found “devastating”.
She told the documentary: “For him, the idea of playing out one’s troubles and wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve and bringing humiliation onto the Royal Family – well, that was a big no-no.
“He refused to speak to his mother for some days after that and bare in mind how close they were, this was absolutely devastating for Diana.”
