The Duke clammed up when asked if he remembered what his mother said to him — replying simply: “I do, I do.”

Harry also told how he cried for his mum only at her funeral and “maybe once” since then.

And he said that during his ten Army years he blocked out the grief with “white noise”.

… He added: “I was so young, I grew up sort of thinking that not having a mum was normal.

“I think it was a classic case of don’t let yourself think about your mum and the grief and hurt that comes with it.

It’s never going to bring her back and it’s only going to make you more sad. My way of dealing with it was just basically shutting it out.

“The years I was in the Army I dug my head in the sand and it was just white noise.”

- ‘ALL THE THINGS I WOULD HAVE SAID’ Prince William and Harry reveal ‘lifetime of regret’ over cutting short final call to mum Diana before her death – as they pour their hearts out in candid interview, TheSun.co.uk, July 23, 2017.
