Yahoo Lifestyle Prince Harry says he was left with a 'gaping hole' in his life after Princess Diana's death
In a heartfelt speech, Prince Harry opened up about the loss of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997 - Prince Harry was just 12 years old at the time.
The 31-year-old delivered a speech at the Mamohato Children's Centre in Lesotho, Africa, and said he could empathise with the orphans who had also lost parents.
'They were far younger than me, and of course, their situation was a great deal more challenging than my own,' said Prince Harry.

'Nonetheless, we shared a similar feeling of loss, having a loved one, in my case a parent, snatched away so suddenly.
'I, like them, knew there would always be a gaping hole that could never be filled.'
