Prince Harry Says Therapy Helped Him Finally Grieve Princess Diana


October 22, 2026

Prince Harry has opened up about his emotional journey following the death of his mother, Princess Diana, revealing that therapy helped him learn to live with grief rather than trying to overcome it.

In a new interview with GQ magazine, the Duke of Sussex admitted that for years, he struggled with the belief that finding happiness might mean betraying his mother's memory.

Harry, who was just 12 when Diana died in 1997, says therapy helped him acknowledge his emotions and understand that grieving does not mean giving up on life.

The 42-year-old also expressed hope for reconciliation with his father and brother, saying repairing family relationships remains important to him.

Harry says he can now carry his mother's memory through his life and work without allowing grief to hold him back.
