• Prince Harry ended William’s wedding speech with a sorrowful note.
• He didn’t want to risk making eye contact with Pa or Camilla.
• He had a vision of her beaming on Willy’s Big Day and having a laugh.

Prince Harry remembers ending Prince William’s wedding speech with a sorrowful note about Diana.

As he opens up in his memoir ‘Spare,’ the Duke of Sussex recounts confidential details from his elder brother’s wedding.

Harry writes that he chose to say a few words about Princess Diana: “When it died away I closed on a serious note. Mummy: How she’d have loved to have been here. How she’d have loved Kate, and how she’d have loved seeing this love you’ve found together. As I spoke these words I didn’t look up. I didn’t want to risk making eye contact with Pa or Camilla—and above all with Willy. I hadn’t cried since Mummy’s funeral, and I wasn’t going to break that streak now.”

He adds: “I also didn’t want to see anyone’s face but Mummy’s. I had the clearest vision in my mind of her beaming on Willy’s Big Day, and having a proper laugh about that dead ermine.”
