Prince Harry was just 12 years old when his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash in Paris. The red-headed royal and his older brother Prince William are set to commemorate their mother’s life 20 years after her death in a number of official events, the MailOnline reported.
The prince told ITV that he was inspired by his mother's mission to make a difference in the lives of those most vulnerable. Harry set up Sentebale in his mother's memory in 2006 along with Prince Sees in Lesotho. The charity helps children affected by extreme poverty and the HIV/Aids epidemic.
Harry said that he first headed to Lesotho during his gap year as he wanted to “make my mother proud”.
“At that stage I had no mechanism to be able to start a charity or make any more of an impact than literally being the ginger white prince to come and make these kids laugh,” he said. “To a certain extent this is a lot of unfinished business, unfinished work my mother never completed.”
He suggested the charity helped him confront his personal issues. “I now view life very differently from what it used to be,” he said. “I used to bury my head in the sand, and let everything around you tear you to pieces.”
