• Prince Harry thought Princess Diana had faked her death to avoid being investigated.
• He said: “With nothing to do but roam the castle and talk to myself.”
• At school Harry was asked to write a “final” letter to his mother.

When he heard the dreadful news that his mother had died in a vehicle accident in Paris when he was only 12 years old, the Duke of Sussex was persuaded that the princess had pulled a “trick” on everyone and that the death had been a “diversion” for her to flee and go into hiding.

He said: “With nothing to do but roam the castle and talk to myself, a suspicion took hold, which then became a firm belief. This was all a trick.

“And for once the trick wasn’t being played by the people around me, or the press, but by Mummy. Her life’s been miserable, she’s been hounded, harassed, lied about, lied to. So she’s staged an accident as a diversion and run away.”

After the princess’ death, “matrons” at Harry’s school asked him to write a “final” letter to his mother, but he still believed she was still alive.

He wrote in his new memoir ‘Spare’: “I have a vague memory of wanting to protest that she was still alive, and yet not doing so, for fear they’d think I was mad.”
