Felicity and Eden are then involved in a horrible car accident with Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and Leah Patterson-Baker (Ada Nicodemou), who were in another car.

But the former royal said that using psychedelics when he got older finally “knocked out the idea” that he needed to be sad to show he “missed” his mother.

“I would never advise people to do this recreationally,” he said during the hour-long interview with Cooper.

“But doing it with the right people if you’re dealing with a great deal of loss or grief or trauma, then these things have a way of working as medicine.

Princess Diana’s interview with the BBC’s Martin Bashir in 1995 marked the first time she publicly addressed claims that Carlos and Camilla had an affair during their marriage.

‘For me, they cleaned the windshield, the windshield, the misery of loss. They took away that idea that she had in her head that she… needed to cry to show my mother that I missed her. When in reality, all she wanted was for me to be happy.

Harry also revealed that his older brother Prince William was convinced their mother was alive and said both brothers believed she would one day contact their children and take them away.

According to Harry, he and William ‘discussed’ the idea that their mother hadn’t died in the 1997 car accident, but had decided to ‘disappear for a while’, with the Duke of Sussex explaining that they believed it was all ‘part of a plan’.

“For a long time, I just refused to accept that she…was gone,” he said.

‘Um, part of, you know, she would never do this to us, but also part of, maybe this is all part of a plan.

‘[I believed she had disappeared] for a while, and then she would call us and we would go meet her, yes.’
