Prince Harry Details How King Charles Revealed Princess Diana's Death: 'Father Didn't Hug Me'

Prince Harry claimed that his father, King Charles III, did not hug him when he told him that his mother Princess Diana had been in a car accident over 25 years ago.

The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex opened up about the moment he found out about his beloved mother's car crash in Paris in 1997 in his upcoming autobiography, "Spare," Daily Mail reported.

Prince Harry, who was 12 years old at the time, recalled that his father sat him down on the bed and "examined the folds of the old quilts, blankets and sheets" while breaking the news that the then-Princess of Wales had been involved in an accident and sustained head injuries that didn't look likely to improve.

The Duke of Sussex acknowledged that some parts of his memory may not be accurate but wrote that there were moments he still remembers "clear as day," including Charles not hugging him at the time.

"What I do remember with stunning clarity is that I did not cry. Not a tear. My father did not hug me," Prince Harry wrote, according to the excerpt obtained by Daily Mail.

When he began to realize the seriousness of his mother's condition, he recalled "silently begging my father, or God, or both" that the news wasn't true. At the time, his father had explained that there had been "complications" with Princess Diana's condition after she had been "seriously wounded" in the accident.

After the Archewell Foundation co-founder asked to go and visit his mother in the hospital, King Charles ended up telling him that Diana's condition "hasn't recovered anymore," Harry wrote.

Prince Harry claimed that his father did not cry at the time but that Charles put his hand on the then-young prince's knee and assured him that everything was going to be OK before leaving the room.

Harry recalled that his older brother Prince William, whom he affectionately called "Willy," sat in a separate room, while he stayed alone in the same room until 9 a.m. the next morning when the "piper began to play outside."

Later in the memoir, Harry also opened up about the aftermath of Princess Diana's death and how he kept denying it for days, instead telling himself that his mother was only "hiding" from the press.

He revealed that he and William were not allowed to watch television, as an effort of the royal family to protect them from the news reports about their mother's death.

Prince Harry also discussed in his book Princess Diana's relationship with Dodi Fayed, who was her romantic partner at the time and had died in the same Paris crash. He said that he and his brother met Fayed while on vacation with their mother in St. Tropez, France.

He described Fayed as "cheeky" and "nice" and noticed how his mother lit up in the filmmaker's presence.

Prince Harry remembered having a conversation with William about Princess Diana and Fayed's relationship, in which they both agreed that as long as their mother was happy, they would support it.

"Spare" is set to be released Tuesday. Aside from Princess Diana's death, the Duke of Sussex will also detail his decision to leave the royal family and his feud with Prince William.
