Oof. Elsewhere in the memoir, Harry opened up about how he tried to move on from the tragedy in dangerous ways. Years later, the BetterUP CIO said he returned to the Pont de l’Alma tunnel where Diana died and drove through it at a fast speed:
Losing a parent is never easy — especially when he and Prince William were so young. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
