LOSS OF HIS OWN MOTHER:

Harry had lost his own mother, Princess Diana when he was twelve years old. Both of Princess Diana's sons only recently opened up about their mother and how much they miss her.

He has said that he underwent therapy to deal with his mother's death and that she has left a void in his life. On his wedding day, Prince Harry ensured there were several touches dedicated to his mother including her favorite flowers from the palace garden being included in the flower arrangements.
