The moving documentary will cover how in August 1997, the tragic death of the Princess of Wales stunned her family and catapulted the British public into one of the most extraordinary weeks in modern history.

In a brand new interview, William revealed how his mother’s funeral was a tough duty he had to complete, but that he felt Diana was there with him and walking beside them to help them get through the day.

He said: “Both our parents had brought us up to understand that as best we can that there is this element of duty and the responsibility that you have to do things that you don’t want to do.

“But I have to say, when it becomes that personal as walking behind your mother’s funeral cortège, it goes to another level of duty.

“But I just kept thinking about what she would want and that she’d be proud of Harry and I being able to go through it and effectively she was there with us.”

He added: “I felt like she was almost walking along beside us to get us through.”

Prince Harry also told of how he feels a need to “fill the holes” left following Diana’s passing.

He said: “All I want to do is try and fill the holes that my mother has left and between myself and William and everybody else that’s in those privileged positions to try and make a difference.

“That’s what it’s about for us, trying to make a difference.”

The programme will also hear from some of those most affected including her siblings Earl Spencer and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and members of the Royal household.

Diana, 7 Days airs tonight on BBC One at 7.30pm.
