Prince Harry reportedly set strict boundaries before appearing in a new public project, refusing to discuss Prince William, Princess Kate and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The Duke of Sussex has released a guide to processing grief through the subscription service MasterClass, in which he shares intimate details about mourning his mother, Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
Harry's grief revelations
In a trailer for the guide, Harry said he spent years "suppressing grief." He added: "In my 20s, I went to war twice thinking I could outrun my feelings, but that’s not what happened."
The guide features Harry alongside neuroscientist Dr Mary-Frances O’Connor, who lost her own mother to cancer.
Off-limits topics
According to reports, Harry agreed to take part only after setting clear boundaries. He reportedly refused to speak about his estranged brother, Prince William, or Princess Catherine, as discussing their relationship could risk increasing tensions between the siblings, who are understood not to have spoken for years.
An insider told Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice: “Harry was willing to talk about Diana, grief and losing his mother. What he wasn’t willing to discuss was William, Catherine or Uncle Andrew. Those subjects were off-limits.”
