Tıpkı eski zamanlardaki gibi? Prens Harry ile yeniden bir araya gelmesine samimi bir bakış sundu. Prens William Elizabeth’in cenazesinde – ve olayı Prenses Diana’nın ölümüyle karşılaştırdı.
“Geçenlerde kardeşimle aynı rotada yürüyorduk. [at Elizabeth’s funeral. And we sort of joked to each other and said, ‘At least we know the way,’” the Duke of Sussex, 38, detailed during his sit-down interview with ITV on Sunday, January 8.
Harry noted that saying goodbye to his grandmother and his mother felt “very similar” to him. “The only difference was the levels of emotion,” he shared. “Because our grandmother had finished life. There was more, I think, of a celebration and respect and recognition to what she had accomplished. Whereas our mother was taken away far too young.”
The BetterUp CIO has previously opened up about how the late Princess of Wales’ death affected him. Diana died at age 36 after sustaining injuries in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. At the time of her passing, William was 15 and Harry was 12.
While filming his Netflix docuseries with wife Meghan Markle, Harry admitted that he doesn’t fully recall the moments he shared with his mother.
“My childhood, I remember, was filled with laughter, filled with happiness and filled with adventure,” he said in the December 2022 episode. “I don’t have many early memories of my mom. It was almost like I internally blocked them out. But I always remember her laugh, her cheeky laugh. Her always saying to me, ‘You can get in trouble, just don’t get caught.’ And I’ll always be that cheeky person inside.”
Three months prior, Harry mourned the loss of the queen after her death in September 2022 at age 96. The U.K. native and Meghan, 41, traveled back to pay their respects after previously moving to California following their royal exit.

In his upcoming memoir, Spare, Harry broke down how King Charles III told him about Elizabeth’s passing. “[Charles] Invictus Games’in kurucu ortağı, 10 Ocak Salı günü piyasaya sürülecek olan kitapta, Balmoral’da hoş karşılandığımı söyledi, ancak … onu istemedi, dedi. saygısız ve ben buna sahip değildim. [I replied,] ‘Karım hakkında asla bu şekilde konuşma.’”
Harry, büyükannesini ölmeden önce görmek için kendisine özel bir uçak rezervasyonu yaptırdığını söyledi. “Siyah kravatımı taktım, yoğun bir sisin içinde uçaktan indim, ödünç aldığım bir arabayla hızla Balmoral’a gittim,” diye devam etti. Prenses Anne onu selamlamak için oradaydı. Büyükannemi görmek isteyip istemediğimi sordu. [I answered,] ‘Evet ediyorum.’ Zordu ama sonunda annemi göremediğim için ne kadar pişman olduğumu düşünmeye devam ettim.
