Before meeting the women who would ultimately become their wives, royal author Tom Quinn says both Prince William and Prince Harry were “lost souls” following the death of their mother, Princess Diana, in a Parisian car accident in 1997. At the time of her death, William was 15 and Harry 12, nearly 13.
But, after William met Kate Middleton in 2001 and after Harry met Meghan Markle in 2016, the brothers found supportive partners who provide them with the support they need, Quinn said, per The Mirror.
