Prince Harry has opened up about the sorrow he felt when he lost his mother, Princess Diana, during his childhood.
During a recent conversation with Nikki Scott from Scotty’s Little Soldiers – an organization that aids children whose parents passed away while serving in the military – the Duke of Sussex expressed his candid emotions regarding his grieving process.
Harry was just 12 years old when his mother tragically lost her life in a car accident on August 31, 1997, in Paris.
‘You start to believe that the person you’ve lost would want you to – or that you have to be sorrowful for as long as possible to demonstrate to them that they are missed. Then comes the realization that “they would want me to be joyful”,’ reflected Harry.
‘When I do mention it, and I’m commemorating their life, then things start to become less burdensome, as opposed to keeping silent about it,’ he added.
