Prince Harry ‘regrets not speaking about Princess Diana’s death’
UK – Prince Harry has spoken of his regret that he did not talk about how the death of his mother, Princess Diana, affected him until three years ago. The Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in 1997, when he was just 12.
Prince Harry, 31, was speaking as he hosted an event for the mental health charity, Heads Together, which was attended by a number of sports stars. He told the BBC the event was an opportunity to highlight that anyone can suffer from mental health issues.
Footballer Rio Ferdinand, athletes Dame Kelly Holmes and Iwan Thomas, and cyclist Victoria Pendleton – some of whom have spoken publicly about dealing with depression – were at the event. Prince Harry formed Heads Together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to bring together leading mental health charities.(BBC.COM/photo:PA)…[+]
