“What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?”

I’m aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world looking after me.

No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, This is what is expected of you. But I’m lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role. I love being with people.

Being a princess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

I love working with children, and I have learned to be very patient with them.

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 don’t want expensive gifts; I don’t want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.

You have so much pain inside yourself that you try & hurt yourself on the outside because you want help.

I adore him I have never been so happy. I have real love.

I am all about caring. I have always been like that.

Don’t call me an icon. I’m just a mother trying to help.

Princess Diana was a wonderful, caring philanthropist. She would come sometimes into the church and sit at the back and pray.

A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.

It’s vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It’s what I try and do.

It has always been my concern to touch people with leprosy, trying to show in a simple action that they are not reviled, nor are we repulsed.

If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.

I am always going to be true to myself.

You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone.

If we are to reach real peace in the world, we shall have to begin with the children.

If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.

I don’t think one parent can raise a child. I don’t think two parents can raise a child. You really need the whole village.

You can write about anything for children as long as you’ve got humour.

Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.
