Prince Harry hosted an event for the mental health charity called Heads Together at the Kensington Palace and the 31-year-old talked about what he regrets after his mother, Princess Diana, passed away.
Prince Harry Talks About his Regret After Princess Diana's Death
Prince Harry was only recently able to open up about his mother but he said that he regrets not talking about his grief at an earlier age. The 31-year-old's event was attended by many guests such as Former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. He then asked Prince Harry about the impact of losing a mother and what it can do to the children left behind. Ferdinand's wife passed away due to cancer and he is now taking care of their three children.
The younger brother of Prince William then replied, "I really regret not ever talking about it for the first 28 years of my life. It's OK to suffer, as long as you talk about it. It's not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognizing it and not solving that problem."
Ferdinand then shared that he appreciates the honesty and the advice of Prince Harry. Ferdinand said that Prince Harry has gone through different stages in his life that his children will experience.
Prince Harry Reminds Everyone Could Suffer From Mental Health
Prince Harry was only 12 years old when Princess Diana died in 1997 in a Paris car crash. He added in his statement that whether or not one is a member of the Royal Family, a soldier, a sports star, a white van driver, a mother, a father, and a child, it does not matter as everyone can suffer from mental health, E! News reported.
Prince Harry, Prince William, and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, started the Heads Together charity in an attempt to shed more light on mental distress, depression, and other psychological problems as well as what one can do in order to seek help.
Prince Harry also recently expanded his charity activities. He has launched a campaign to alert Millenials about AIDS and that it is still a danger so people should get tested for HIV.
