From high windows at Kensington Palace, Prince William can just about look out on the patch of grass where he and Harry played as boys. For all the happy occasions — and there were many — Prince William and Harry shared with Princess Diana, there were moments of great sadness, troubling even for a young teenager. The interview, William said, was ‘a major contribution to making my parents’ relationship worse’. Might this explain why nowhere in his statement does Prince William dignify Bashir by referring to him by name, instead using the label of ‘a rogue reporter’? Prince and Princess were often apart and when they were together they tried not to row in their sons’ hearing.
