'Prince William tried his best to save my drowning son': Mom praises royal's efforts to save her teenage son who drowned last year
Sarah Lea, who recently lost her 16-year-old son to an accidental drowning has found solace in none other than Prince William. The prince was part of the air ambulance team that tried to save young Robbie when he accidentally drowned while swimming with his friends.
Metro reports that Sarah was unaware of the royal's involvement in attempting to save her son until one of her friends informed her. The friend said, "A prince tried to save your prince." Once she found out, Lea did not stop praising the Prince for his bravado. William recently spoke about how his time as an air ambulance pilot affected his mental health because of the gruesome accidents he witnessed involving children.
Lea thanked Prince William by saying, “I can’t thank Prince William enough. For what he did to try to save my son on that terrible day and for now speaking out on mental health issues. It shows our future king is human. It was a brave thing to do."
