"I’ve had this all my life. One would think and maybe expect, that I’d be comfortable in front of people, photographers and journalists who ask questions," she said, adding: "But I’m really not, I’m quite shy. "Although the Princess was excited to share the magic of Christmas with her son, she also revealed it was a difficult time for her as it was the first holiday she was celebrating without her beloved dog Zorro. The Jack Russell passed away at the beginning of December at the age of nine. On Christmas Eve she posted a touching tribute to the dog writing: "Remembering Zorro and the many Christmases he spent curled up with me. Missing my friend!"
