Prince Harry is opening up about not getting to say goodbye to his grandmother because he wasn't invited to fly with his family to see her when she was sick.
From his family maligning his wife, Meghan Markle, to his memories of struggling to cope with the death of his mother, Princess Diana, Harry didn't hold back in his candid reflection on the family drama that's driven a wedge in the Royal Family. Here's a look at some of the biggest revelations from hisWhile he and Meghan live in the U.S.
"I walked into the hall and my aunt was there to greet me, and she asked me if I wanted to see her. I thought about it for five seconds, thinking, 'Is this a good idea?' and I said 'You know what, you can do this. You need to say goodbye.' So I went upstairs, took my jacket off and walked in and just spent some time with her alone," he remembers.
"So now, I'm trying to speak a language that perhaps they understand," he adds. "I will sit here and speak truth to you with the words that come out of my mouth, rather than using someone else, an unnamed source, to feed in lies or narrative to a tabloid media that literally radicalizes its readers to then potentially cause harm to my family, my wife, my kids.
"I went into this incredibly naive. I had no idea the British press were so bigoted. Hell, I was probably bigoted," He adds."I don't know," Harry replies."Put it this way, I didn't see what I now see."Harry recounts his memories of finding out about his mom's death in August 1997, and how he"never shed a single tear at that point."
"There was a lot of tears. I talk about how wet people's hands were. Their hands were wet from wiping their own tears away," he remembers. "I do remember one of the strangest parts to it was taking flowers from people and then placing those flowers with the rest of them as if I was some sort of middle person for their grief.
"All I saw was the back of my mom's head slumped on the back seat," Harry shares."There were other more gruesome photographs, but I will be eternally grateful to him for denying me the ability to inflict pain on myself by seeing that. Because that's the kind of stuff that sticks in your mind forever. According to Harry, he masked the pain and loss in his life through the use of illicit drugs, including marijuana and cocaine.
