Prince William spoke about the emptiness he feels on Mother's Day at a reception of the Child Bereavement Charity in London yesterday. William is a patron of the charity, which Diana helped launch 15 years ago. Speaking at the launch of the charity's Mother's Day campaign, he 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. I can therefore wholeheartedly relate to the Mother's Day campaign as I too have felt - and still feel - the emptiness on such a day as Mother's Day... For those who have lost the one they love, rest assured they will be watching over you". In the Daily Mail he writes about his grief: "not a day goes past without you thinking about the one you have lost".
As expected, Wills went on to host a dinner last night for the 40th anniversary of homeless youth charity Centrepoint at St James's Palace. He was joined by charity ambassadors Kirsty Young, Lisa Maxwell, Sara Cox and Tamara Beckwith. Meanwhile, France’s society magazine Point de Vue reports that Wills and Kate Middleton will marry this summer, with the official announcement expected this month. I'll wait for the official word before I buy a hat.

Omg he is such a lovely person, and so grounded. I really feel for him and all those people, it just makes you think how lucky you are. i really think we are lucky with the two Princes, they arnt spoilt or smashed out of their faces making an idiot of themselves all the time. It makes u realise just because they are posh and Royal dosn't mean they are stuck up and selfish. I think theyve turned out really well.
1I don't buy the wedding thing either! Royals probably have more than 6 months of being engaged before getting married.
2hills I agree. I almost forget just how young the boys were when Princess Diana died - I mean they were so little, it must have been just awful. I also think they have turned out really well and are a credit to Princess Diana and Prince Charles!
3me too munchkin, i remember thinking they were quite old then, it was just because i was littler! they were still so young, its really sad, but like you said their family must be pretty chuffed at how they have turned out.
4I'm such a fan of William, he comes across as a genuinely nice guy.
5Yeah William seems like a fantastic guy, such a gentlemen. He has a lot of his mother's qualities
6well i think that it makes him more human to know that he's sad about the way that his life evolved...
7It's still heartbreaking, but I'm sure Diana would be proud of her children for being good-hearted and well-spoken young men.
