1986. Prince Charles bought Highgrove House in 1980, and it became one of the main estates where he and Diana raised their children.
Per the terms of the divorce agreement, Diana kept her apartments at Kensington Palace and the two split custody of their children, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Diana enjoyed a close relationship with her sons before her tragic death in 1997. She wanted her children to have as normal an upbringing as possible and treated them to days out at theme parks, sent them to public school and took them on royal tours.

One issue that Diana reportedly found with the Queen Mother was that she was demonstratively preferential towards her eldest son, William over her younger son, Harry.

Harry is also thought to have inherited millions from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. It is not known whether the late Queen left him any money. During her acting career, the Duchess of Sussex was reportedly paid $50,000 for each episode of the legal drama Suits.
The former butler stunned the packed courtroom describing Diana's mother's alleged comments as “a hate-filled personal attack on the men and their religious beliefs.” According to Burrell, as a result of that call, Diana vowed never to speak to her mother again.
