Prince Harry describes his guilt as he took solo trips with King Charles back in the day.
The Duke of Sussex recalls how he once went on a skiing trip with His Majesty while at the same time missing his late mum.
He writes: “I loved skiing and I was good at it. But once Mummy was in my thoughts, I was buried under my own private avalanche of emotions. And questions. Is it wrong to enjoy a place that Mummy despises? Am I being mean to her if I have fun today on these slopes? Am I a bad son for feeling excited to get on the chairlift W alone with Pa?”
He further reveals how he went on to question himself.
“Will Mummy understand that I miss her and Willy but also enjoy having Pa briefly to myself? How would I explain any of this to her when she returned?” he thought.
Harry lost his mother, Princess Diana, in a 1997 car accident. The former Princess of Wales passed away from the sustained injuries from her car crash in Paris.
