>> yes, this is where diana was born. >> reporter: mary clark was diana's nanny. >> she said i will never, ever marry unless i'm really in love. because if you are not in love you're going to get divorced and i never intend to be divorced. >> she never had a happy centered home life. i think she spent all of her adult life searching for that. >> reporter: christopher anderson, who's written several books about the royal family, says that in diana's search for a happy home life she had a unique confidant. william. >> as a small boy william witnessed a lot of this and william became sort of the fixer. here's this little boy when his mother locks herself in the bathroom after an argument with charles and she's sobbing and here is 7-year-old little william slipping tissues under the door and saying "i hate to see you sad, mummy." he was always somebody who was just very, very sensitive to other people's feelings, so he walks into the situation with kate, he meets kate, and kate exposes him to a happy family for the first time. >> stability? >> stability. >> reporter: a happiness and normalcy

>> well, i think in all the years of the diana -- charles and diana marriage problems -- >> it was aas. and now she can see that william has totally got it. william went through years of wishing he didn't have the h.r.h., trying to forget it. saying to people, don't call me your highness. just call me william. he's really embraced this -- >> i think the whole wedding for william was a tipping point for him. i think he realized then that his destiny to be king wouldn't be as gruesome as he feared it would be. and i think he found in kate the right woman. >> i totally agree. as soon as you have that team member with you -- that's what we see with the queen and prince philip. we're seeing that with william and kate. >> and she is fantastic. i think he found the bride who has got everything you could possibly want. i think she looks fabulous. her behavior is exemplary. >> she's graceful. >> but she had what diana never had. she had eight years of practice. eight years behind the scenes to get used to all this. diana was thrust into this as a 19-year-old girl, a kid. i think it was all to

and i think the death of diana there was a feeling of guilt in the british press.as definitely a feeling that they knew they had driven her to her death is the truth and the queen and prince william have been extremely tough on the press about invasion ever since. and actually william was given a hands-off treatment while he was at cambridge. they did sort of leave him alone... sorry, not cambridge, he wasn't there, he was at st. andrew's. they did a hands-off on him and although they have tried to get dish on william and kate it's not remotely what it was like in the era of diana. so i think there's been a definite cooling down of press excess with regard to the royals. >> i want to know how kate middleton now the duchess of cambridge felt this morning when finally she had fallen off her pillar as far as her dress was concerned. the british tabloids went hell for her saying that she was trying to upstage the queen. that the bright red was unsuitable and she may have looked great but when they printed up the picture of kim kardashian wearing the same outfit-- grant

she wears diana's engagement ring, for instance.d she takes the comparisons as a compliment. but she's doing things her way. >> the fact that they have said we don't want a lot of flunkies around, we can do it all ourselves, we'll go to the supermarket, as a result they're bringing the monarchy much close -- much closer to the people. >> if the royals have never experienced rush hour traffic, we're geniuses at it here in los angeles, california. >> reporter: perhaps the challenge for kate and william going forward will be staying close to the people. when the people see them as superstars. as i saw firsthand when their north american tour wound up in california. the screams for the movie stars were substantial. but they were nothing compared to those that greeted the arrival of william and kate. here in los angeles, as nowhere else, a fairytale sells big. >> they've had so much scandal in their family, and now will and kate are taking over and she's beautiful and perfect. >> when i heard they were coming out here, i wasn't going to

some people say after everything that happened after the death of princess diana, that would have been the chance. some would say right after the 2001 election, you won a big majority, that would have been the chance. the decision i took, rightly or wrongly, as i say, was there was never going to be a moment when this was not going to have to squeeze out the rest of the government agenda. and, you know, however supportive they seemed or however powerful i seemed, this was going to flip like that the moment you put such an issue center stage. you see the degree of focus on this inquiry now. so if you being the government of the day said i'm going to legislate on this, i think it would have been -- anyway, that's the decision i took. you know, i had a -- we were by then in my second term really starting to move forward on reform in public serves. so academy schools were being introduced and competition within the health service. we were really getting things changed. we had major law and order legislation. later we had legislation on terrorism an so on. i never felt that i could risk put

princess diana's bridesmaid. you've been on the balcony, on the carriages.ow. talk me through what it feels like to be part of this. >> an enormous sense of pride obviously. when i was in the carriage as a bridesmaid to diana, i was much younger and unaware of the magnitude of the event. clearly over a billion people were watching. but it was only afterwards i thought i'm in a horse drawn carriage. one of the little girls i was with was allergic to horses and had tears streaming down her face. my mother had said to me, wave darling, wave. how do you wave? i mean, feels rather ridiculous. i wonder thinking, i wonder how kate feels at the moment, you learn to do that. you feel awkward. >> wheeze we've had this extraordinary big weekend. we had the darby, the big horse race. the incredible flotilla on sunday with all the boats. the pop concert tonight. and tomorrow we have the real pomp and pageantry that people expect. which of all these do you think the queen will be most excited by. >> she was probably most excited by the pageant, because in her lifetime as

abc's diana perez has details. diana, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. this is another twist to a mysterious story that continues to evolve. what we know now is that there are bigger clues. they all align from gps on aguiar's boat. we know the path he took. but the question remains, what happened after he stopped? guma aguiar is worth $100 million. his wife and mother have already gone to court, battling over control of his fortune. now, there's new speculation that could suggest the 35-year-old oil tycoon is still alive. here's what we know. this is the last known image of aguiar leaving his home to board his boat. and this is his boat, about seven hours later, washed ashore, without him. after an exhaustive search by the coast guard, nothing turns up. his mother says he's dead. but his wife's lawyer thinks something else. >> if guma aguiar indeed died as his mother said, within hours of his disappearance, notwithstanding the facts that look like it was staged. >> reporter: did he stage the whole thing? attorney bill scherrer is able to use the boat's g

i think after diana's death there was the possibility the monarchy could have come to an end.they bought themselves at least a couple more generations i imagine. more importantly the queen as a role model to the british people, talk about that. >> again, i was thinking about our disagreement as well. if it hadn't been so wet and cold, i might have been more generous and less republican. but i have to say to you, i think she's a fine, fine woman. >> i believe the monarchy is stronger today than it was ten years ago. i see a real resurgence in this country. and that is tangible. >> i agree with you. i think what we see today and last year with the wedding was a real return and interest in them as a family. and some people that one could really admire and enjoy watching. i still think the danger they are in is that they are part of celebrity culture. i think the moment something goes wrong or somebody does something wrong, we'll see the fickleness of public taste. >> katie nichol we've worked over the last 20 years or so. i think the temperature has changed. the relationship is m
