Prince Harry Reportedly Wanted To Collect Diana’s Body, But Prince Charles Refused

Prince Harry suffered from a heartbreaking moment after his mom Princess Diana’s death.

At a young age, the Duke of Sussex reportedly asked Prince Charles if he could join him on his trip to Paris to pick up the body of the late Princess of Wales. Unfortunately, the future king refused.

Prince Charles may have good reason not to want Prince Harry to see his mom’s body. But Jane Lavender, a journalist for Mirror, said that the death of Princess Diana has resulted in Prince Harry suffering from depression.

Years later, Prince Harry is now promoting the importance of mental health. During his interview with The Telegraph, the 34-year-old opened up about his breakdown following years of total chaos from his mom’s passing.

“I can safely say that losing my mom at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect not only on my personal life but my work as well,” he said.

“My way of dealing with it is sticking my head in the sand… And I started to have a few conversations and actually all of a sudden, all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront and I was like, there is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with,” he added.

During the interview, Prince Harry admitted that it was Prince William who encouraged him to deal with his demons following Princess Diana’s sudden demise. However, Prince Harry ignored the advice until recently.

In the documentary “The Story of the Royals,” royal correspondent Chris Connelly also said that Prince Harry did a lot of questionable things after the death of his mom simply because he was in a lot of pain.

The people surrounding Prince Harry were so worried about how upset he got when they talked about Princess Diana that they encouraged him not to think about his mom. But this proved to be the wrong approach, especially for a young boy.
