Prince William's statement was dignified yet excoriating; Harry's as usual was all about himself. For the first time since she alighted on him I felt a smidgeon of sympathy for Meghan who has to spend the rest of her marriage with a man suffering from an obsession with his mother.
Diana was not a brilliant mother; she loved her children and gave them a happy time but she spoilt them, encouraged them to be naughty and shared far too many details of her marriage with them, privately and publicly. Her private secretary and her 'medium' both allegedly commented to her after the interview about the possible effect on the children and she admitted she had not even considered it.
The personal details she disclosed in that dreadful interview were shocking, and my first thought was, your sons will hear all this, and all their friends. At that time I was newly divorced and raw, but tried hard to keep unpleasant details private and not denigrate their father to my children, not because I was particularly noble but because I saw the distress suffered by the 'divorced ' children that I taught.
