Prince Harry is blaming his wild behavior of the past on his mother, Princess Diana’s death. In fact, the young royal says that he was on the verge of a breakdown years after Princess Diana was tragically killed in a car accident in Paris back in 1997.
In a new podcast with The Telegraph’s Bryony Gordon, Harry says that he almost had a breakdown while struggling with his mother’s death during his late 20s. He even admitted that he often felt like punching someone while he was struggling to cope with his emotions.
Harry said, “I can safely say that losing my mom at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well. I have probably been very close to a complete breakdown on numerous occasions when all sorts of grief and sort of lies and misconceptions and everything are coming to you from every angle.”
Surely, no one knows what Prince Harry really went through behind closed doors following Princess Diana’s death. But everyone does remember how Harry made headlines for wearing controversial costumes at drinking parties with his buddies or how he was photographed butt naked during a game of billiards with hot blondes in Las Vegas.
For the longest time he didn’t even want to talk about it to the media or his family and friends for that matter. But now it looks like Harry is ready to finally tell the world exactly everything that’s been going on in his personal life. A lot of people believe that one of the reasons why Harry is being so open about his feelings is because this year is the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death.
Others believe that it’s also his way of finally healing old wounds and moving on his with his life. After all, he’s getting ready to propose to his girlfriend, Meghan Markle, and marry her in the coming months. He wants to show the world that he’s ready and mature enough to not only get married, but to start a family of his own as well.
The Prince Harry of today is definitely not the same Prince Harry that everyone remembers from several years ago. His wild partying days in Las Vegas are now nothing more than a distant memory. Buckingham Palace has not made any comments on whether or not Prince Harry’s wild behavior was indeed linked to Princess Diana’s death.
