At another point he put his hand on the boy's shoulder and turned to his emotional father, telling them: "promise me that you will talk to each other." Men, he said, are not "great sharers."

Ben and his brothers Thomas and Richard lost their mom Alexandra to cancer in June of last year.

Prince William was 15 when his mother died in a car crash in Paris.

His brother, Prince Harry, who was only 12-years-old, has previoulsy spoken about the one regret he has while dealing with her death.

Harry said he wishes he had opened up more about it at the time, making the admittance at a BBQ event for the mental health charity campaign 'Heads Together', where he spoke with several special guests including retired footballer Rio Ferdinand.

Speaking to Ferdinand - who lost his wife Rebecca Ellison from cancer last year - about his mother's passing, Harry said: "You know, I really regret not ever talking about it."

While the reason behind his silence over the years is not known, several insiders have since speculated why the Prince might have kept quiet.

“For a long time, they worried, and those around them worried, too, that whatever they said about their mother could be misinterpreted as somehow being critical of the Prince of Wales,” an aide said.

“The whole Diana subject was tricky, and their sensitivity about saying anything was noticeable.

“They were often upset when their mother's name cropped up, especially when books about her came out, but there was this reluctance to say or do much.”
