Harry and his brother, Prince William, have spoken in a series of interviews leading up to the 20th anniversary of their mother's death on 31 August. Princess Diana was killed in a crash in Paris, aged 36, as the car she was in sped through the Pont de l'Alma tunnel followed by paparazzi photographers. At her inquest in it was ruled that the gross negligence of her driver, Henri Paul, who was drunk, and the paparazzi were to blame for the crash. Prince Harry said: "One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back seat of the car.
Prince William told Sunday's minute documentary, Diana, 7 Days, walking behind his mother's coffin was "one of the hardest things I've ever done". The Duke of Cambridge, who was 15, recalled using his fringe as a "safety blanket" during the "very long, lonely walk".
The balance, he added, was "between me being Prince William and having to do my bit, versus the private William who just wanted to go into a room and cry, who'd lost his mother". William and Harry were joined by their father, the Prince of Wales, grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, and uncle, Earl Spencer, in the procession through London.
In June this year, Prince Harry was quoted in US magazine Newsweek saying he did not think the same situation "would happen today", adding that no child should be expected to do the same "under any circumstances".
But speaking to the BBC, Harry echoed his brother, describing the move as "a group decision", and one that, in hindsight, he was happy with. Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, recently described the decision to include the young princes in the procession as " bizarre and cruel ". Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the change in tone from Prince Harry over his involvement in the funeral reflected the realisation that him taking part had provided comfort to millions of people at the time.
Harry's comments puts it in a perspective that he is glad he did something - even if it didn't help him at the time - that clearly brought a tremendous comfort to the millions that were watching," he told the BBC. It is hard to look at the pictures of year-old William and year-old Harry walking behind their mother's coffin and not wonder what was going through their young minds - and now we know.
Harry said he was glad he had never cried in public. I couldn't help it Ginny : Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening. Harry : What did you do then? Ron : What else? I ran for it! Ron : Do you think we'll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?
Hermione , Harry : No. Ron : Yeah, didn't think so. Oh well, what's life without a few dragons? Hermione : Everything's going to change now, isn't it? Harry : Yes. Hermione : Promise you'll write this summer, both of you. Ron : Oh, I won't. You know I won't. Hermione : Harry will, won't you? Harry : Yeah, every week. Hermione : It's not going to work. Fred : Oh yeah? George : Why's that, Granger?
Hermione : You see this? Hermione : This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself. Fred : So? Hermione : So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim witted as an ageing potion. Fred : Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant! George : Because it's so pathetically dim witted. Ron : Oh look, Mum's sent me something. Ron : Mum sent me a dress! Harry : Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet? Harry : Ah ha! Ron : Nose down, Harry.
Ginny, this must be for you. Ginny : I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly. Hermione : [laughing] They're not for Ginny, they're for you. Dress robes. Ron : Dress robes? For what? Hermione : Look at this! I can't believe it, she's done it again! Hermione : 'Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards.
Her latest prey, sources report, is none other than the Bulgarian bon-bon Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow. Hermione : Harry, you told me you'd figured that egg out weeks ago! The task is two days from now! Harry : [sarcastically] Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor's already figured it out. Hermione : Wouldn't know.
We don't actually talk about the tournament. Actually, we don't really talk at all. Viktor's more of a physical being. Hermione : I just mean he's not particularly loquacious. Mostly, he watches me study. It's a bit annoying, actually. You are trying to figure this egg out, aren't you? Harry : What's that supposed to mean?
Hermione : It just means these tasks are designed to test you. In the most brutal way, they're almost cruel. I'm scared for you. You got by the dragons mostly on nerve. I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time. Ron : I reckon you'd have to be barking mad to put your own name in the Goblet of Fire. Harry : [coldly] Caught on, have you?
Took you long enough. Ron : I wasn't the only one who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back. Harry : [sarcastically] Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better. Ron : At least I warned you about the dragons. Harry : Hagrid warned me about the dragons. Ron : No, I did! Don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you!
Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out. Harry : Who It's completely mental. Ron : Yeah I suppose I was a bit distraught. Harry : [smiles weakly]. Hermione : [in disbelief] Boys! Hermione : Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvarti that Hagrid's looking for you.
Harry : Is that right? Hermione : Uh Dean was told by Parvarti Hagrid's looking for you. Harry : Well you can tell Ronald Hermione : I'm not an owl! Hermione : Harry!
