Prince William has said he will "never get over" loosing his mother.
Prince William recently spoke to presenter Nick Knowles from people saying that the grief "never leaves you".
"The shock is the biggest thing," William said.
"I still feel, 20 years later about my mother, I still have shock within me.
"People say shock can't last that long, but it does. You never get over it. It's such an unbelievably big moment in your life that it never leaves you – you just learn to deal with it."
"I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well," he said.
"My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum, because why would that help?
"And then [I] started to have a few conversations and actually all of a sudden, all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront and I was like, 'There is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with'."
The revelation also follows William's chat about Mental Health with Lady Gaga earlier this week. Read that full story HERE
