How are Prince William and Prince Harry involved in the documentary?

Princess Diana's two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, were just 15 and 12 when their beloved mother died.

The two royals will talk openly and in depth about their mum and how she has influenced and shaped their lives.

Both offer their own perspectives on Diana's contribution to public life through her endless charity and humanitarian work both in the UK and abroad.

Their participation in the documentary follows recent candid conversations both Princes have had about their mother while promoting their mental health charity, Heads Together.

Prince William, 34, said during a documentary titled Mind Over Marathon: "I still feel 20 years later with my mother . . .   I still feel the shock within me.

“You think shock can’t last that long but it does. You never get over it. It’s such an unbelievably big moment in your life."

Meanwhile Prince Harry, 32, told The Daily Telegraph he turned to therapy after coming “close to a complete breakdown” over the loss of his mother.

He added he had turned to boxing as a means of safely taking out his aggression and frustration as he bottled up his emotions.
