Revealing the moment when he first met Diana at Sandringham in Norfolk, Ken shared that the late Princess told him, "“I don’t envy you doing this, Ken, looking after my children.They can be a bloody nuisance.” Ken shared that this was part of Diana's charm - the incredibly down to earth normal way in which she parented her two boys who were just 12 and 15 when they lost their mother.
