Prince Harry says he believed mom Princess Diana was 'hiding' after her 1997 death abc15
While the world watched the public mourning and funeral for Princess Diana after her shocking death in 1997, the princess's youngest son, then 12-year-old Prince Harry, said he believed his mom hadn't died.
"I think for anyone, especially if you're a kid, I was 12 years old," he said."I refused to accept that was what had happened."In"Spare," which will be released globally on Tuesday, Harry describes the morning of Aug. 31, 1997, when his father, now King Charles III, delivered the devastating news that Diana died.
"I don't think my family knew what to do," Harry said."I don't think they knew what to do, and I can't say whether other families would've done a better job." "I wish I had the ability or the opportunity to do some form of therapy, or at least be able to talk more about losing my mum and celebrating her life," he said."But who's to say that at age 12 whether I would've even said yes to that.""If you ask me questions like, 'How would your life have differed if you'd done therapy then?' Well, I probably would've done less drugs. I would've probably drunk less, partied less.
In the years since, Harry and William, the only children of Charles and Diana, have endured a highly-publicized rift, previously unknown details of which Harry shares in"Spare." "I think she would be sad," Harry said."I think she'd be looking at it long-term to know that there are certain things that we need to go through to be able to heal the relationship, but I think she would be heartbroken that it's ended up where it's ended up."
