This comes as Princess Diana’s former butler in his book A Royal Duty, former butler, Paul Burrell spoke about her pain as she left Prince William and Harry back in the days.

He said: "The wrench of leaving behind her old life, the flat in London and the children at the kindergarten [where she worked], was upsetting.”

He added: "When she returned one day to see the children, all the youngsters she adored kept tugging on her sleeves and asking, 'Where have you been?' and 'When are you coming back?'"

According to Burrell: "She found the whole experience a 'traumatic nightmare' and left close to tears."

"It wasn't any easier when she returned to her old flat at No. 60 Colherne Court, where she lived with female flatmates, to remove her most precious possessions," the former butler wrote.

"She was alone with her thoughts in a flat full of memories as she polished and vacuumed. As she closed the door behind her, she had felt the urge to cry, she said."
