Prince Harry recalls how Charles broke the news of Princess Diana’s demise

• Prince Harry recalls his father telling him that his “mummy didn’t make it”.
• His father told him: “It’s going to be OK”.
• Princess Diana died in a 1997 car crash in Paris with her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed.

Both of King Charles’ sons were informed of Princess Diana‘s passing.

Prince Harry, the youngest son of the queen, describes how his father entered the room to inform him that his “mummy didn’t make it” in his biography “Spare.”

Recalling his feelings at the time, Harry writes: “These phrases remain in my mind like darts in a board. He did say it that way, I know that much for sure. She didn’t make it. And then everything seemed to come to a stop. That’s not right. Not seemed. Nothing at all seemed. Everything distinctly, certainly, irrevocably, came to a stop. None of what I said to him then remains in my memory. It’s possible that I didn’t say anything. What I do remember with startling clarity is that I didn’t cry. Not one tear,” Harry notes in his memoir ‘Spare.’

“Pa didn’t hug me. He wasn’t great at showing emotions under normal circumstances, how could he be expected to show them in such a crisis? But his hand did fall once more on my knee and he said: It’s going to be OK,” Harry recalls.
