Prince William has revealed how he'd wished that his mother Princess Diana had been able to see his wedding day.
The prince said it was the 'one time' since she died that he'd really missed his mother and he'd felt 'sad' knowing she wouldn't be there.
William opened up during an interview at Clarence House, where he lives with Kate, for the U.S. show The Jubilee Queen with Katie Couric, set to be screened on ABC.
'I sort of prepared myself beforehand so that I was sort of mentally prepared,' he said. 'I didn’t want any wobbly lips or anything going on,' Prince William told Couric in the interview ahead of the celebrations in honour of the Queen's 60-year reign.
'It was the one time since she's died where I've thought to myself it would be fantastic if she was here. And just how sad really, for her more than anything, not being able to see it.
'I think she would have loved the day and I think, hopefully, she’d be very proud of us both for the day.
I’m just very sad that she’s never going to get a chance to meet Kate.'
For Harry too it was a poignant moment, as he felt his mother's absence acutely, knowing especially that 'she would have loved Kate.'
'I think she had the best seat in the house probably,' Harry said. 'She would have loved to have been there.
'
Harry, who acted as his brother's best man, also confessed he was 'massively nervous' on his brother's wedding day.
'Everybody was nervous,' he said. 'The whole thing was a bit of a blur to be honest because there was God knows how many millions or billions of eyes focused on us. Luckily, mainly those two.'
