He's a child that's a Deep Thinker, and we don't know for a few years how it's gone-in.
But I put it in gently, without resentment or any anger.
Overbearing mothers - Jordan B. Peterson
"Well, there was a lot of fantasy in that book, and it was very distressing for me that a friend of mine, who I had trusted, made money out of me. I really minded about that.
And he'd rung me up 10 days before it arrived in the bookshops to tell me that there was nothing to worry about, and I believed him, stupidly.
And then when it did arrive the first thing I did was rush down to talk to My Children.
And William produced a box of chocolates and said, `Mummy, I think you've been Hurt.
These are to make you smile again.'
BASHIR:
What was your reaction to your husband's disclosure to Jonathan Dimbleby that he had in fact committed adultery?
DIANA:
Well, I was totally unaware of the content of the book, and actually saw it on the news that night that it had come out, and my first concern was to the children, because they were able to understand what was coming out, and I wanted to protect them.
But I was pretty devastated myself.
But then I admired The Honesty, because it takes a lot to do that.
BASHIR: In what sense?
DIANA:
Well, to be honest about a relationship with someone else, in his position - that's quite something.
BASHIR: How did you handle this with the children?
DIANA:
I went to the school and put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life you must hang on to it and look after it, and if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you then one must protect it.
William asked me what had been going on, and could I answer his questions, which I did.
He said, was that the reason why our marriage had broken up?
And I said, well, there were three of us in this marriage, and the pressure of the media was another factor, so the two together were very difficult.
But although I still loved Papa I couldn't live under the same roof as him, and likewise with him.
BASHIR:
What effect do you think it had on Prince William?
DIANA:
Well, he's a child that's a deep thinker, and we don't know for a few years how it's gone in.
But I put it in gently, without resentment or any anger.
BASHIR:
Looking back now, do you feel at all responsible for the difficulties in your marriage?
DIANA:
Mmm. I take full responsibility,
I take some responsibility that our marriage went the way it did.
I'll take half of it, but I won't take any more than that, because it takes two to get in this situation.
BASHIR:
But you do bear some of the responsibility?
DIANA:
Absolutely, we both made mistakes.
