Prince Harry Opens Up About the Harrowing Word That Felt Like a ‘Punch in the Throat’ After Princess Diana’s Death

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, recently opened up about the heartbreaking word that felt like a “punch in the throat” after the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. At just 12 years old, Prince Harry struggled to come to terms with the loss of his mother, who died in a car crash at the age of 36.

In a candid revelation, Prince Harry shared how the word “body” kept being used in the aftermath of his mother’s death, which he described as a painful reminder that she was no longer alive. Despite initially hoping for the best and believing that Princess Diana would be okay, it soon became clear that she had passed away.

Reflecting on the days that followed, Prince Harry recalled how his father, King Charles, and Diana’s sisters traveled to Paris to gather more information about the tragic incident and make arrangements for Princess Diana’s return. The use of the word “body” in reference to his mother was particularly difficult for Prince Harry to accept, as it emphasized the harsh reality of her death.

Prince Harry also shared a poignant moment when his Aunt Sarah gave him a small blue box containing locks of Princess Diana’s hair, a gesture that brought both comfort and sorrow to the young prince.

As Prince Harry continues to navigate life outside of his royal duties alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, the Duke of Sussex has been open about his struggles and experiences following the loss of his mother. Despite the challenges he has faced, there is hope for reconciliation within the royal family, with reports suggesting that King Charles is eager to rebuild his relationship with Prince Harry, provided certain conditions are met.

The heartfelt revelations from Prince Harry shed light on the enduring impact of Princess Diana’s death on her family and serve as a reminder of the profound loss they continue to carry with them.
