Prince Harry opens up about his mental problems following Lady Di's death
Almost twenty years after the death of Princess Diana, in August 1997, in Paris, Prince Harry granted a major interview to the “Telegraph”, to be published on Monday, and some extracts of which have already been unveiled. The prince, who was then 13 years old, confides having had to consult, a few years ago, to accept the death of his mother.
“I can tell you that losing my mother at the age of 12, and then closing the door on all my emotions for twenty years, had serious effects not only on my personal life, but also on my work. Several times, I almost broke.
The prince then decides to do boxing to evacuate his emotions. “It saved me because I was on the verge of hitting someone. So hitting someone wearing protection was much easier. Encouraged by his older brother Prince William, Harry then decides to ask for help. “In my experience, once you start talking about it, you realize that you are part of a really big club. […] It brings a lot to talk about your problems, and if you keep it a secret it will only make it worse. "
Prince Harry talks about his ostrich policy after his mother's disappearance. “I buried my head in the sand, refused to think about my mother, because that wasn't going to help me. I figured it was only going to make me sadder and not bring her back. "
