Prince Harry has emotionally recalled repeatedly driving through the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana died at the exact same speed in his explosive biography.
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex has opened up about how he has dealt with his mother’s death in his new book Spare, which was accidentally published today in Spain.
In 2007, the now 23-year-old father of two was in the French capital for the Rugby World Cup.
As he was driven through the city, Prince Harry recalled how he asked to be taken through the Alma underpass, where Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997.
He also requested that they go through the tunnel at 65 miles per hour, the same speed Princess Diana’s chauffeur was driving when the tragic accident occurred.
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex wrote in an excerpt ahead of the publication of his memoir, Spare, that he asked to be led through the Alma underpass, where Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, going to the same speed as your car at the time of the accident that caused your death.

Harry said the driver was surprised when he asked him if he knew the tunnel where his mother had died and asked him to take him through it.
The royal revealed that she barely felt a thing as she entered the tunnel, writing that it was: “The bump that supposedly sent mom’s Mercedes veering off course.”
He recounted how he counted the lights and the pillar inside the tunnel as his car whizzed by, but was surprised at how short the tunnel was when he got out.
“I had always envisioned the tunnel as a treacherous, inherently dangerous passageway, but it was just a short, simple, no-frills tunnel,” he wrote.
Harry also revealed that he met a “woman with powers” who claimed that his mother was there with him in spirit. Pictured with the Prince of Wales in London on July 1, 2021
The king added that he told his bodyguard and driver that there was no reason for anyone to die in Alma’s tunnel.
He then revealed that he asked the driver to take him through the tunnel three times in total.
Harry wrote that he thought the experience would bring him the “closure he wanted”, but sadly it had the opposite effect.
He said going through the tunnel put an end to the questions and doubts he had about his mother’s death and made him realize that she was gone forever.

In the book, Harry also recounted that he contacted a woman ‘with powers’, without using the terms psychic or medium, to speak to his mother. The woman allegedly relayed a message from Diana telling her that she was living the life “that she couldn’t, the life that she wanted for him.”
He did not specify where or when exactly this meeting took place, however, he placed it after the birth of his son, Archie, who was born in May 2019.
He wrote that the woman was recommended to him by friends, and although he was skeptical of her abilities, he went to see her.
He said he felt the woman’s aura and that she told him that she could feel a presence around him and that she believed his mother was with him in spirit.

The king admitted that his eyes watered when he heard that his mother was in the room while they spoke.
The woman allegedly said that the prince was living the life his mother wanted for him. She asked the woman for proof that the spirit of her mother was actually present.
The Duke of Sussex claimed the woman was referring to an “ornament”, which he understood to be a Christmas tree ornament in the shape of Elizabeth II that his son Archie broke and tried to fix.
The woman told Harry that Diana was there when it happened and laughed at her grandson’s antics.
Elsewhere in the biography, Prince Harry said he “begged Prince Charles not to marry Camilla” and feared that one day she would be his “evil stepmother.”
The Duke of Sussex claims that he and his brother would not get in the way of the then-Prince of Wales’s relationship, but asked him not to walk down the aisle a second time, calling Camilla the “other woman.”
Charles had tried to “win over the children” before asking the public to accept Camilla, the book claims. Harry claims that meeting her for the first time was like a “shot”, writing: “she Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.”
The Duke said: ‘I remember wondering… if she would be cruel to me; if she were like all the wicked stepmothers in the tales.’ And he added: ‘Willy had been suspicious of the Other Woman for a long time, which confused and tormented him; When those suspicions were confirmed, he felt an agonizing remorse for not having done or said anything before.
