Prince Harry has been quite open about his late mother, Princess Diana, and what it was like losing her at such a young age. And now, he is sharing more about his experience in a personal letter to children who have lost a parent in the military.
The Duke of Sussex wrote a letter to Scotty’s Little Soldiers in honor of Remembrance Day. Per the official website, the charity is dedicated to grieving children who have lost a parent serving in the British Armed Forces. In the letter (posted on the organization’s official website), Harry shared his own personal story about losing a parent—and how he had to say goodbye to his mother at just twelve years old.
“We share a bond even without ever meeting one another because we share in having lost a parent. I know first-hand the pain and grief that comes with loss and want you to know that you are not alone.”
