Katie Couricis making no secret about the impact thatPrincess Dianahad on her.
The two women were seated next to one another at the event and eventually struck up a conversation.
“How do you keep your children from watching too much telly?”
Diana reportedly asked the TV personality.
“I’m having a terrible time with William and Harry.”
Couric wrote in her book that she simply told Diana to “hide the remote” from her children.
“Mourners wailed at the sight of the princes walking behind the casket, heads bowed.”
At the time, Couric’s husband, Jay Monahan had been diagnosed with colon cancer.
He died a year later.
“It was two boys who’d lost a parent.
And I thought of my girls,” Couric admitted.
Sadly, she can now understand that feeling and is telling her story inside the pages of her memoir.
