The young prince was just 12 when Princess Diana died in a auto crash in 1997.

Speaking to Sky News about his own mother and the legacy of Princess Diana, Prince Seeiso said: “I’m hoping that they are quietly laughing or quietly smiling that we’ve come this far”.
“I knew there would always be a gaping hole that could never be filled”, he said according to Us Weekly.
During his visit to the Mamohato Children’s Centre, Harry reunited with Mutsu Potsane, a child who Harry previously met during his Africa tour in 2004.
The royal was taking part in the sixth annual Sentebale polo match – an annual fixture that raises thousands every year for AIDS charity he set up in memory of his late mother – when he fell.
Prince Harry will continue his engagements in Cape Town on Monday when he’ll visit a rehabilitation centre for children who have committed gang related crimes followed by a visit to a football-based project.
While those in the states were celebrating Thanksgiving, Prince Harry attended the opening of Sentebale’s center for children and families in Lesotho.
Last time when the pair met, Mutsu grabbed his hand and stayed by his side for hours and Harry even gave him a pair of blue wellington boots.
Harry is an accomplished polo player like his father, the Prince of Wales, and grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh, and regularly plays in competitive and charity matches.
“For so numerous children in Lesotho, that situation was compounded by the harsh environment and extreme poverty they faced”. The charity has now been running for ten years and helped thousands of vulnerable children to get the support they need to lead happy and healthy lives.
Prince Harry’s Sentebale team eventually lost 7-8 to Royal Salute, although the royal did make it on to the scoreboard.
The tour began Thursday with Harry in a suit, meeting with Lesotho’s King Letsie III, with various Lesotho government officials, and with the British High Commissioner in the mountain kingdom.
“I think of the time were together, it was the good and nice day”, he says.
