The public wanted a fairy princess to come and touch them and everything would turn to gold. Little did they realise that the individual is crucifying herself inside because she didn't think she was good enough.

I went to the school and put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang onto it, and look after it, and if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then you must protect it.

Call me Diana, not Princess Diana.

I love to hold people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.

You can't do anything good that you don't feel in your heart.

As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.

I'm a free spirit - unfortunately for some.
