Prince Harry Says He and Prince William ‘Were Unable’ to Show Emotion After Diana’s Death: I Only ‘Cried Once’
usmagazine.comLooking back. Prince Harry has opened up about mourning the death of his mother, Princess Diana, following her fatal 1997 car crash.“Everyone knows where they were and what they were doing the night my mother died,” the Duke of Sussex, 38, said in a new clip of his ITV sit-down, which airs on Sunday, January 8. “I cried once at the burial and you know I go into detail [in my memoir] about how strange it was and how actually there was some guilt that I felt, and I think [Prince] William felt as well, by walking around the outside of Kensington Palace.”Princess Diana died at the age of 36 after succumbing to fatal injuries in an August 1997 car crash in Paris, where she had been riding in a vehicle with boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed.
