One of the most striking revelations in the first episode of the Netflix original “Harry and Meghan” was Prince Harry’s admission that he doesn’t have many clear memories of his late mother Princess Diana. “It was almost like, internally, I sort of blocked them out,” the royal said in the 2022 docuseries (via Independent).
However, the royal does recall that his childhood was filled with happiness, adventure, and laughter, with the latter, in particular, something which his mom was always keen to inspire: “But I always remember her laugh, her cheeky laugh. Her always saying to me, ‘You can get in trouble, just don’t get caught.’ I’ll always be that cheeky person inside.”
In fact, Harry has stronger memories of being ambushed by the paparazzi than his mother, particularly the vacations where they would be caught by surprise by a photographer. “Within the family, within the system, the advice that’s always given is don’t react,” the prince said about royal protocol. “Don’t feed into it.”
