The 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's bombshell Panorama interview is on Thursday, November 20, and while Prince William is now a 43-year-old father of three, he was barely a teenager when his mother confessed all to the BBC. The 13-year-old future King is said to have been left in tears while watching Diana's interview with the now-disgraced journalist Martin Bashir—and reportedly, Queen Elizabeth was extremely concerned about her grandson's reaction.
Prince William had just entered his first year at Eton College just two months before the controversial TV special, and as author Robert Lacey wrote in his book Battle of Brothers, "Before the 58 minutes ended, William was weeping." According to Lacey, the prince's housemaster, Dr. Andrew Gailey, "told Diana that he found her son slumped on the sofa, his eyes red with tears."
