Despite having a gorgeous wife and two adorable children, Prince William couldn’t help but break down when talking about his late mother Princess Diana during a visit to a hospice.

The Telegraph reported that the 34-year-old royal, seen here the following day with Kate Middleton, was nearly in tears during a touching moment with a young boy, 14-year-old Ben Hines, at the Keech Hospice Care in Luton on August 24.
"I know how you feel. I still miss my mother every day – and it's 20 years after she died,” he told the boy. "Time makes it easier.”
William was 15 years old when his mother Diana tragically passed in a car crash in Paris in 1997, similar to the boy whose mother passed the previous year. The royal then urged Hines, who is the youngest of three boys, to talk about his loss with his family.

"The important thing is to talk about it as a family, it's okay to feel sad, it's okay for you to miss her,” he said. "Promise me you will talk to each other.”

The boy’s father later told BBC that Prince William “gave Ben his absolute attention and you could see that it struck a chord with him, he put his hand on Ben’s shoulder and told him time’s a healer and to stick together and talk.”
