HARRY ‘WISHES DIANA COULD HAVE MET MEGHAN’

Harry opened up about how he wishes his mum Diana could have met wife Meghan and son Archie.

“I wish she could have met Meghan. I wish she was around for Archie,” he said.

“I got a photo up in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said.

“Apart from mama, papa, it was then grandma, grandma Diana.

“It’s the sweetest thing but at the same time makes me really sad.”

HOW OLD WAS HARRY WHEN DIANA DIED?

Princess Diana’s untimely death on August 31, 1997 stunned the nation and sent the world into mourning.

Prince Harry was aged 12 at the time with Prince William aged 15.

Princess Diana was laid to rest on September 6, 1997, exactly a week after her horror car crash in Paris.

The brothers walked behind Diana’s coffin as it was carried to Westminster Abbey — a move that has since drawn criticism as it put the young Princes in the spotlight during their time of grief.

HARRY SAYS SOME OF ARCHIE’S FIRST WORDS WERE ‘GRANDMA DIANA’

Prince Harry has revealed some of his son Archie’s first words were “grandma Diana”.

Harry said of his mum: “I wish she could have met Meghan. I wish she was around for Archie.

“I’ve got a photo up in his nursery… and it was one of the first words that he said. Apart from ‘mama’, ‘papa’, it was then ‘grandma’, ‘grandma Diana’.

“It’s the sweetest thing but at the same time makes me really sad.”

PRINCE CHARLES FURIOUS THAT ‘LURID LIES’ FROM MARTIN BASHIR’S PRINCESS DIANA INTERVIEW TOOK 27 YEARS TO BE CORRECTED

PRINCE Charles is furious that “lurid lies” from Panorama’s interview with Princess Diana took 27 years to finally be publicly corrected.

The BBC has written to the Prince of Wales to apologise for Martin Bashir’s “deceitful” tactics in securing the interview and agreed to never show it again.

‘HARRY’S CHOICE TO OPEN UP COMES AT A COST’

Harry’s decision to open up about mental health struggles “comes at a cost”, a royal expert has warned.

Brand and reputation management expert Eric Schiffer told the Express: “Prince Harry has every right to describe the private pain that he may have dealt with and being transparent is likely healthy for him and his own personal life. 

“But it comes with a cost, because he can’t firewall off his royal DNA and the responsibilities and obligations that come with that.

“His choice to share these personal matters in many ways makes him a greater target and more exposed to being vulnerable on the privacy side.”

PRINCE WILLIAM TELLS FEMALE ADMIRER, 96, ‘YOU’RE MAKING ME BLUSH’ AS HE JOKES ON CARE HOME VISIT AFTER BASHIR SCANDAL

PRINCE William had to politely fend off the advances of a 96-year-old female admirer as he joked “you are making me blush”. The duke showed no signs of stress amid the Martin Bashir BBC scandal as he joked and chatted with elderly residents of a care home in Edinburgh.

The father-of-three described how “tiring” fatherhood was during lockdown and how difficult it is to get George, 7, out of shorts and into long trousers. Residents at Queen’s Bay Lodge care home snacked on ice cream and sipped tea as they were treated to their royal visit.

But it was great-grandmother and ex-servicewoman Betty Magee, 96, who stole William’s attention. As the duke took a seat at her table in a marquee in the grounds of the care home, she said: “It’s customary in these parts to give a lady a kiss on the cheek.”

William replied: “Oh you are sweet. You’ll make me blush.”

Betty persisted asking her prince to give her a peck as William laughed and covered his face in mock embarrassment, adding: “When the rules relax more I will come back and give you a kiss on the cheek Betty.”

QUEEN ’IS SAD’ SHE NOT CANNOT SEE GREAT-GRANDSON ARCHIE

The Queen has suffered “sadness” at barely seeing Archie and is unlikely to meet Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s second baby unless they come to the UK, Ingrid Seward has revealed.

Ingrid, who is editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, shares her extraordinary insights into the monarch’s relationship with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in this week’s Fabulous magazine.

And she claims that the Sussex’s distance from the royal family has indeed been a low point for the Monarch.

Ingrid says: “The Sussexes, who have barely set foot in the UK since relocating to the US and are unlikely to return any time soon after their Oprah interview sent shockwaves through the royal family.

“Meghan is due to give birth to their daughter – the Queen’s 11th great-grandchild – imminently, but unless Meghan and Harry bring the baby to Britain, the Queen won’t get to meet her. She has barely seen Archie since he was born, a source of sadness for her – though she is said to have wished him happy birthday via Zoom when he turned two this month.”

BASHIR ‘SCARED DIANA HALF TO DEATH’

Shamed BBC journalist Martin Bashir scared Diana “half to death” with frightening meetings in underground car parks, a royal expert says.

Andrew Morton, who penned a biography on the princess, said Bashir wouldn’t have scored the Panorama interview if he hadn’t lied to her.

Asked by Sky presenter Trevor Phillips if Bashir would have got the interview if he hadn’t lied, Mr Morton blasted: “He wouldn’t have got it, simple as that.  He scared her half to death.

“He had her thinking had contacts within MI5. He was very plausible. He arranged meetings in underground car parks – they’re scary places at best of times, but when you think your life in danger, it was very potent.

“She was put in state of fear and trepidation and it encouraged her to speak out.”

OPRAH SAYS EVERYONE IS ON ‘SPECTRUM’ AFTER HARRY CHAT

Oprah said that everyone is on a spectrum of mental health fitness after her bombshell interview with Prince Harry.

The Duke of Sussex, 36, appeared alongside the talkshow host on the popular ABC breakfast show to discuss the first episode of the explosive interview series.

The pair discussed their mental health battles with anchor Robin Roberts on Friday.

“One of the things that Prince Harry and I wanted was for people to understand that mental health and mental fitness is a spectrum and we’re all on a spectrum,” Winfrey said.

“Everybody either is or knows somebody who’s going through something.”

‘HARRY IS DOING OPPOSITE OF WHAT QUEEN WANTS’

Prince Harry is “doing the opposite of what the Queen wants”, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told the Express:  “In once again baring his soul, in a series on mental health with Oprah, The Me You Can’t See, he has highlighted his unhappiness with royal life.

“He is doing the reverse of what the Queen wanted and deliberately harming the monarchy.”

MEGHAN ‘DIDN’T KILL HERSELF BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T WANT HARRY TO LOSE ANOTHER WOMAN’

Meghan Markle only didn’t kill herself because she didn’t want Harry to “lose another woman in his life”, he has revealed.

Meghan revealed during a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year that her mental health suffered while she was living in the UK and that she was not given the help she needed when she reportedly felt suicidal.  

The duke told Oprah in the new doc that what stopped his wife from giving in to suicidal thoughts was how “unfair” it would be to him after the death of his mum Princess Diana in 1997.

“The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby,” he said.

“The scariest thing for her was her clarity of thought. She hadn’t ‘lost it.’ … She was completely sane. Yet in the quiet of night, these thoughts woke her up.”

OPRAH TIPPED TO BE HARRY & MEGHAN’S DAUGHTER’S GODMOTHER

It has now been hinted at Oprah could become a permanent fixture in Harry and Meghan’s life and is being considered for the role of godmother.

Meghan is due to give birth to a baby girl – the couple’s second child – in the summer.

Pal Omid Scobie suggested Oprah was in the frame, saying: “If one of those godparents is Oprah – and I’m not saying that she is – then you can understand why perhaps they want to keep that to themselves because even Oprah sitting down to interview them was controversial enough in itself.”

The hint has been echoed by an insider, who claims the “coveted role” has been “reserved” for Oprah following the explosive interview in March.

The source told Heat World: “Meghan thinks Oprah would be the perfect godmother for her daughter. She wants her girl to be surrounded by strong female role models, and Oprah certainly fits the bill. She’s been a real support to both her and Harry since they moved to California, and Meghan knows she can rely on her, no matter what.”
