Meghan’s moment alone at Diana’s grave revealed

Princess Diana is buried on an island on the Althorp Estate in Northampton.

He and Meghan rowed out to the island to visit her grave.

When I returned, she was on her knees with her eyes closed and her palms flat against the stone.

After paying his own respects, Harry sensed that Meghan wanted to take a private moment.

“When I returned, she was on her knees with her eyes closed and her palms flat against the stone,” he wrote.

Meghan later told him she’d asked Diana for “clarity and guidance”.

Duke of Sussex snapped at Meghan

Elsewhere in the book, Harry wrote about the time he “snapped” at Meghan.

This was a significant moment as it led to the Duke of Sussex seeking therapy.

Writing about the incident, Harry said he became “disproportionately, sloppily angry”.

“I snapped at her, spoke to her harshly [and] cruelly,” Harry wrote of the incident.

He later told Meghan he had learned the behaviour from seeing adults act similarly within his family when he was a child.

This then led to Harry realising he needed to go to therapy.
