Prince Harry has opened up about bereavement and grief during a conversation with the founder of a charity that supports children who have lost a parent serving in the British armed forces.

“You convince yourself that the person you’ve lost wants you, or you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they are missed,” said the Duke of Sussex, whose mother, Princess Diana, died when he was 12 years old. “But then there’s this realization of, no, they must want me to be happy,” he told Nikki Scott, founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, in a video released by the charity Thursday. Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. She was 36 years old.

Scott told the duke about the moment she had to tell her son, Kai, that his father, Cpl. Lee Scott, had been killed while serving in Afghanistan. “It was the worst… How do you tell a 5-year-old this,” she said, recalling the feeling that she had “shattered his world” on that day in July 2009. Scott went on to found the charity in 2010 to help other bereaved military children. Each year, 2,100 children lose a parent who served in the UK military, according to Scotty’s Little Soldiers.
