Prince Harry candidly admitted that serving the royal family, in his opinion, cost his mother, Princess Diana, her life. This emotional statement resonated widely.
Prince Harry candidly admitted that he never wanted to be a full-fledged member of the royal family, as he believed that this role was the reason for his mother, Princess Diana's, death. This deeply personal statement was made at a business leaders' summit in Australia, which he attended with his wife Meghan Markle.
Early reluctance and shocking confession
The son of King Charles III emotionally spoke about his feelings after the tragedy. He shared how he coped with the loss of his mother at a young age: “After my mom died shortly before my 13th birthday, I thought, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role — wherever it leads, I don’t like it. It killed my mom, and I was totally against it, and for years I hid my head in the sand,’” said the prince, referring to the Daily Mail.
Over time, he said, he came to realize that this role provided unique opportunities for positive change. He began to see the potential for “changing the world for the better”: “If someone else were in this position, how would they use this platform, these opportunities and resources associated with it, to change the world for the better? And also — what would my mom want from me? And that changed my perspective,” concluded Harry.

Place in the royal family and move to the USA
Prince Harry, being the younger son of King Charles III and Princess Diana, is still fifth in line to the British throne. However, he no longer officially performs duties as a working member of the royal family, which resulted from his move to the USA with Meghan Markle. This move was prompted by an escalating conflict with his father and older brother, Prince William.
Revelations in the memoirs “Spare”
Previously, Harry had openly expressed his grievances against the royal family multiple times. In his memoirs titled “Spare,” he detailed how his father's family failed to provide adequate protection and emotional support to his mother during her life.
The tragic fate of Princess Diana
Princess Diana, lovingly referred to as the “People's Princess,” tragically died in a car accident in 1997. Many still hold the royal family responsible for her untimely demise.
Court critics claim that Diana faced a ruthless protocol and icy detachment from a family that neglected her serious issues, including postpartum depression and an eating disorder. When she dared to speak about it publicly, it is believed that a real “media war” was waged against her. It is assumed that this harassment was an indirect cause of the fatal paparazzi chase on that fateful night.
