• Prince Harry discusses how his father had to tell him about his mother’s death.
• Describes how he was “sacrificed on her PR altar” by paparazzi photographers.
• Says he is not being “scathing” about Camilla, but that Pa was not the best parent.

Prince Harry discussed how his father had informed him of his mother’s terrible passing in an ITV interview with Tom Bradby.

Commenting on Harry’s interview, senior journalist Chris Ship said, “No one can argue with Harry about the abhorrent behaviour of the paparazzi who photographed his dying mother in the car in that Paris tunnel. But he says he did see the photos of “the back of her blond hair slumped on the back of the seat”.

He described it as “Very moving as Harry describes how Charles, in his dressing gown, had to sit on Harry’s bed and gently tell him what had happened to Princess Diana.”

Pacing about for hours, plucking up the courage to break the news to his sons, the journalist observed, “Harry still has the empathy to feel for his father.”

King Charles, according to Prince Harry, was not the best of parents. “Pa has always given the air of not being quite ready for parenthood … but single-parenthood? Pa was never made for that. To be fair, he tried”.

When asked about how he was “sacrificed on her PR altar,” Harry responded that he is not being “scathing” about Camilla.
