Julia Samuel, one of Princess Diana's best friends, has opened up about her role as Prince George's godmother and her grief for Diana 25 years after her death.
Meghan told Oprah:"One of the people that I reached out to, who's continued to be a friend and confidante, was one of my husband's mom's best friends, one of Diana's best friends... Because it's, like, who else could understand what it's actually like on the inside?"
Julia Samuel was one of the very few of Princess Diana's friends invited to the unveiling of the statue dedicated to the princess in Kensington Palace's sunken garden.

Samuel has become a celebrated author of books on psychotherapy and mental health. On the subject of both William and Harry's advocacy and breaking of taboos in this area, she said,"I think both the princes have really turned the dial on talking about grief so honestly and also about mental health. But that was all theirs – completely off their own bats."
