She adores children and they adore her.”And from the moment Princes William and Harry were born, Diana was besotted with them – and they with her. So strong was the bond between Diana and her boys that William says she even helped him endure her funeral. In the BBC1 documentary Diana, 7 Days , to be broadcast on 27 August at 7.30pm, he recalls walking behind her coffin on the way to Westminster Abbey: “It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, that walk.

Last week, after two years of speculation, the star finally revealed news that’s been so closely guarded it’s practically a state secret: he will indeed be back on the big screen playing James Bond for the fifth time.It comes as a bit of a surprise since, after 007’s last outing in Spectre in 2015, Daniel declared that he’d rather “break this glass and slash my wrists” than play Bond again. “We’re done. All I want to do is move on,” he added, acknowledging that if he did sign up, it would only be for the money.Well, £100million is a lot of money – and that’s the sum that he apparently stands to earn from this, the…2 min
