JAKARTA – Prince Harry recently remembered the death of his mother, Princess Diana, to the point that he never wanted to be a member of the royal family. This was conveyed at the InterEdge Summit held in Melbourne, Australia.
In his speech, Harry recalled the moment of losing his mother who died in 1997, just before his 13th birthday. He said grief was a confusing and difficult experience, especially at a young age.
“When loss happens, it’s very confusing at any age,” Prince Harry said, quoted by the Mirror, on Friday, April 17, 2026.
Meghan Markle’s husband said that the sadness of losing someone never really fades, even though he has tried to ignore it. As a public figure, he also has to face emotional pressure from the many spotlights that exist.
In addition to the grief of losing his mother, Harry also openly said that he had refused or did not want to be a member of the royal family.
Harry feels that the role is actually related to great pressure, even according to him it also contributed to the tragedy that made his mother die.
“I don’t want this role. I don’t want that kind of life,” he said.
The feeling of not wanting to be a member of the royal family is a form of inner resistance to the reality he has lived since childhood. For years, Harry admitted that he continued to try to avoid reality and did not have the right way to manage his sadness.
However, his life experiences, including his journey in the military and his role as a husband and father, slowly helped him understand the meaning of mental resilience. He also asked for help from others in overcoming the emotional pressure he was facing.
Through this, Harry admitted that he realized that wounds must be faced, not avoided in order to be able to rise. Now, Harry uses his experience as a way to voice the importance of mental health.
“For me, one of the biggest changes came when I realized that asking for help is not a weakness. It is very much a form of strength,” Prince Harry concluded.
