Everyone is accustomed to the fact that British monarchs, if they give interviews, they are extremely reserved. Yesterday, the pages of the Newsweek edition appeared Prince Harry's reasoning, which differed from everything that has been published so far. The 32-year-old prince spoke about his life, the most terrible memory from his childhood, the lesson Diana gave him, and much more than that.
We are the most ordinary people
His interview with Harry began with what he said about the lifestyle that he leads:
"Everyone thinks that we are in a certain cocoon, which protects us from everything worldly, but it is not so. We are ordinary people. Princess Diana did everything so that we were not detached from reality. She took us to the shelters where the homeless live, to travel to poor countries, and there I saw enough. Then I was terrified that someone so can exist. However, she did everything right. Mom in us laid down humanity, kindness and compassion. All these qualities are now manifesting me fully in the charitable projects that I supervise. In addition, such excursions have influenced the way I live now. So, for example, I go only for shopping, especially for food, myself. I love to visit supermarkets near my house and buy vegetables and meat. However, I am always afraid that they will recognize me and start a hype, but so far there have been no such incidents. You know, if I have kids, then I will bring them up as well as I was brought up by Diana. It is very important for me that they are not "torn off" from people and society. "
The Prince spoke about the most terrible memory
After that, Harry decided to talk a little about his childhood, or rather about the memory that still causes his shock. These are the words the monarch said:
"The farewell ceremony with Diana was a real hell for me. Then I just got used to the idea that my mother no longer exists with us. And then my father comes to me and says that I must attend a funeral. I wanted to escape, huddle in the corner and weep, but the debt of the monarch's family was not allowed to do so. And now I'm walking behind the coffin of my mother, and thousands of people are watching me and millions more are watching the ceremony on TV. I had a feeling that I was lowered into boiling water and did not get out. With my children, I would never do that if something like this happened. It is always necessary to take into account psychology and morale, although still some 20 years ago no one thought about it at all. "
Harry talked a little about his character
After that, the prince told the readers of Newsweek about why he is now so actively engaged in charitable projects:
"I have a very impulsive and emotional character, which was always like that. That's why after my mother's death, my life began to develop not as much as many wanted. My energy became something very bad and began to manifest itself in bad deeds that many afflicted. Everything began to change in years 25-26. Then I began to understand that my mother would not approve of all my antics. Over time, I found an outlet in charity. There I pour out all my emotions and when I see that my help helps, it becomes somehow easier. "

The prince told about the monarch's duty
Many who follow the existence of the royal family of Britain know how "protocol" their lives should be. However, there are those who dream of being in the place of the queen or members of her family. About this decided to talk with the interviewer Harry:
"What is now the royal family of Britain for any person?" I think that this is the power of the good that Elizabeth II created over the past 60 years. I am very grateful to her for the fact that she did not rush us with a choice, we want to stay in the family and become public people or not. Everything came by itself. I and the Uliam stayed in the family and now we are trying to convey to the people a piece of love. It is very important for us that everything is very sincere, and not just "waving someone's hand". True, the queen has the greatest responsibility. I do not think that any family member wants to become a king, but if this happens, then any of us with dignity will continue to continue the tradition of the good of the queen. "
