The 32-year-old British monarch, Prince Harry, first gave an interview in which he spoke in detail about how he experienced the death of his mother.

The prince began to "hide in the head in the sand"

At the time when there was a terrible car accident in Paris, Harry was only 12 years old. All this time the press repeatedly wrote about the fact that the prince suffered a great deal of stress from the loss of his mother and withdrew into himself, unwilling to let strangers into his soul. In an interview with The Telegraph, the monarch decided to tell about how he was going through a grief:

"When I found out that my mother was dead, I did not immediately understand what was being said to me and what was happening. When consciousness came back to normal after the terrible news, I lived like a dream. I do not really remember the funeral, nor the days that were after them. I just wanted to hide from everyone and silently experience the tragedy. I remember some people who tried to talk to me, but what exactly were the conversations, I will not say now. At one point, I realized that if I could erase the memories of my mother, it would be much easier for me. It was from the moment I began to "hide in the head in the sand" when it came to Diana. "

After that, Harry remembered his youthful years:

"Many told me that the pain of the death of the mother will pass and the time heals, but it did not happen to me. When I started to think about Diana, I was so hurt that I really wanted to hit something or someone. It is this mental state that influenced the choice of my profession. I went to serve and became a military man. After I was among the military, it became a little easier for me. Mostly I was helped to overcome the suffering stories of veterans of the war about the loss of their friends during military operations in different countries. True, I still could not heal the wound.

Several years ago, Prince Harry decided to retire from the army and engage in his direct duties as a monarch. He began to actively attend public events as one of the members of the royal family and engage in charity. In his interview, the prince described who helped him overcome stress after Diana's death:

"When I turned 28, I had an unexpected conversation with William. He was so able to find the words that I began to listen to him. William urged me to consult a psychologist who could help me recover from the death of my mother. Frankly speaking, going to the doctor was a difficult step for me, but I still decided to visit. Now I will not say how long the treatment went on, but it was not one meeting with the doctor, but much more. "

In conclusion of his interview, Harry said these words:

"Now I can talk about Diana's death calmly. It is clear that in my heart everything is compressed, but there is no such pain that I experienced about 5 years ago. Now I'm ready to release my mother and I'm ready to start a new stage in my life. I really want to have a family and my children. "
