Prince Harry Reveals How King Charles III Told Him About Princess Diana’s Death: He ‘Didn’t Hug Me’

His worst moment. Prince Harry opened up about learning of his mother Princess Diana’s death — and how his father, King Charles III, struggled to deliver the tragic news to his sons. “Pa didn’t hug me,” Harry, 38, writes in his memoir, Spare, which Us Weekly exclusively obtained before its Tuesday, January 10, release date. “He wasn’t great at showing emotions under normal circumstances, how could he be expected to show them in such a crisis?

But his hand did fall once more on my knee and he said: ‘It’s going to be OK.’ That was quite a lot for him. Fatherly, hopeful, kind.

And so very untrue.” The Duke of Sussex, who was 12 years old at the time of his mother’s death in 1997, detailed the conversation he had with Charles, 74, and how the reality of her passing didn’t initially click after hearing of her accident. “[Charles] sat down on the edge of the bed.

He put a hand on my knee. Darling boy, Mummy’s been in a car crash. I remember thinking: Crash … OK. But she’s all right? Yes?
