What’s the age gap between Prince Harry and Prince William and how old were they when Princess Diana died?

WILLIAM and Harry are arguably the most famous brothers in the world.

But the two young princes' lives were turned upside down when their mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash in Paris. Here's the story of their relationship...

What is the age gap between Prince William and Prince Harry?

The two Princes were born in the same place, the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London.

Older brother William was born on June 21, 1982, having turned 35 years old earlier this year.

Prince Harry, real name Henry, was born on September 15,  1984, making him 33 years old and putting just over two years between the royal brothers.

Older brother William is second in line to the throne, behind his father, Prince Charles.

Harry meanwhile, is fifth in line to the throne, behind his brother's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

If William has any more children, they will automatically overtake Harry in the line of succession.

Where did William and Harry grow up?

The pair attended a number of schools in Britain and started off living at Kensington Palace in London.

Both brothers ended up going to Eton, the elite private school near Windsor where many of Britain's leading political figures were educated.

Harry ended up with two A-levels, at B and D grade, while William nabbed an A, B and a C.

The eldest prince went on to study at St Andrews University in Scotland, while Harry decided to pursue an active career in the military after finishing at Eton.

How old were William and Harry when their mother died?

The royal brothers opened up about the tragic death of their mother, Princess Diana, in an ITV documentary.

In Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, William and Harry revealed that they hadn't seen their mother for weeks, but were due to see her on the day she died.

When Diana was involved in a fatal Paris car crash, on 31 August 1997, her children were just 12 and 15.

William and Harry were at Balmoral with their father, Prince Charles, when Diana died, along with her driver, Henri Paul, and her companion, Dodi Fayed.

What was the last thing William and Harry said to their mother?

William and Harry spoke out in the documentary about their heartbreaking final conversation with their mother.

The pair revealed that they had spoken on the phone with their mother not long before her fatal crash, but they cut the call short because the boys wanted to play.

Harry said: “I can’t really remember what I said but I regret how short the phone call was.

“I’ll have to deal with that for the rest of my life.

“Not knowing that was the last time I was going to speak to my mum, how differently that conversation would have panned out if I’d had even the slightest inkling.”

And William shares his brother's agony, saying that the final phone call "sticks in [his] mind quite heavily".
