The Death of Princess Diana
Just a year after his parents’ divorce, tragedy struck when Princess Diana died in a shocking car accident. Harry, just twelve at the time, was at Balmoral with his dad and brother when he got the devastating news. Suddenly, things went from bad to worse. Not only did Harry lose his mom, but the paparazzi descended like vultures on him and his family.

Looking back, Harry has admitted he really struggled during this time. Nightmares haunted him for years, and even the click of a camera or the flash of light brought back painful memories.
