“I was a big fan of my mother too”: Prince William’s sweet reaction about Princess Diana
Prince William has fondly remembered his late mother, Princess Diana, during his and the Duchess of Cambridge’s Royal Tour of Pakistan.
The royal spoke with a 14-year-old student at a government-run school in Islamabad when he a special moment took place.
The young teen told the Duke she was a fan of the late Princess Diana, to which Prince William replied: "Oh, that's very sweet of you. I was a big fan of my mother too."
"She came here three times. I was very small. This is my first time and it is very nice to be here and meet you all," he added.
Prince William also admitted to the student about why he became an Air Ambulance pilot, saying he’d “always wanted to learn to fly.”
"I was flying for a while actually. I love flying, I feel very free (and) I like learning a skill, I enjoy that. I can relate the science of what you do,” he said.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kicked off the first full day of their four-day long tour in the capital city and met with a number of school kids.
The couple spoke about the importance of education, especially for young women.
The couple then met with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was a close friend of Diana's when he was married to Jemima Khan.
It is believed that Prince William played cricket with Khan when he was a young boy.
