Prince Harry Inspired To Make Princess Diana "Proud"
Prince Harry says he is inspired to do his charity work by Princess Diana and that all he wants to do is "make my mother proud".
The 31-year-old former British army officer was just 12 years old when his mother was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
In an interview with US magazine 'People', he said:
"I don't have that many memories of my childhood with my mum. When she died, there was a gaping hole, not just for us, but also for a huge amount of people across the world. I know I've got a lot of my mother in me. I am doing a lot of things that she would probably do."
Part of the Prince’s charity work is with the Invictus Games, which begin next week.

Last week he released a video with the Queen and Barack and Michelle Obama promoting the games for wounded, injured and sick serving military personnel and veterans.

Harry also spoke about his time spent serving as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan and said he had suffered flashbacks since his second tour in 2012/13.
"Most of the flashbacks I've had have not been that brutal. I haven't seen what other guys have seen.
"There's all sorts of things that can happen through your life, that if you don't deal with it, you don't talk about it, then it can end up affecting you in later life."
