Prince Harry reportedly found it “cathartic” to write about his “traumatic” childhood for his upcoming memoir.
“At this stage, we have no regrets,” a royal insider told Us Weekly, adding that it was “a very rough process” as well as “cathartic.”
“And it’s very difficult for him to recount specific traumatic events from his childhood,” the source added.
Harry lost his mother, Princess Diana, in a car accident on August 31, 1997, when he was 12 years old. His estranged brother, Prince William, was 15 at the time.
