Would the 'children always tend to know who's coming and going from their home, especially if it was secret,' include Camilla, who secretly came and went from Highgrove, or wasn't Highgrove 'their home'?
Diana was a wonderful mother to her children. They were her world, even people who weren't keen on her said as much. They adored her and she them. Even today they speak of her often, with reverence and with love. Diana took them to theme parks because it was the school holidays and she wanted her boys to enjoy themselves, which they did. They weren't taken there to fend off bad publicity. She'd have to be pretty calculating as a parent to have that as a motive and I don't believe she was.
It's probably a good job neither William or Harry can read or hear attacks on her and there have been plenty, especially criticising her maternal instincts, from people who never knew her.
If you take a look at the tributes paid to her over the years from her sons, even earlier this year, the speech Harry gave at the Diana memorial service, the things William has spoken of over the years, his wanting to give Kate his mother's ring so she would in a sense be there sharing their happiness, Harry speaking of the massive gap she left in their lives, no-one can doubt the influence she has had on her sons or the bond they shared.
