“Everyone knows where they were and what they were doing the night my mother died,” Harry told Tom.
“I cried once, at the burial, and you know I go into detail about how strange it was and how actually there was some guilt that I felt, and I think William felt as well, by walking around the outside of Kensington Palace,” he added.

Admitting that he and his brother were unable to show any emotion as they met the mourners, Harry explained: “There were 50,000 bouquets of flowers to our mother and there we were shaking people’s hands, smiling.
“I’ve seen the videos, right, I looked back over it all. And the wet hands that we were shaking, we couldn’t understand why their hands were wet, but it was all the tears that they were wiping away.”
