In the autobiography, Harry writes about the moment not just because it was funny, but because it holds a place in his heart as a time when he felt like he was truly part of his family. Writes Prince Harry in Spare: “She had this amazing flick of the wrist. And I will never forget that barbecue night. It was wonderful, I felt like I was part of the family.”
The royal goes on to say, “I felt very different to what I felt before that. I felt slightly isolated. I felt slightly different. I dunno what was going on. And maybe that was, again, the sort of the suppression of the trauma and the grief but I had a proper laugh with my… with my Gan-Gan then.”
Here’s hoping Harry and family can find some of those laughs again (we’re looking at you, Sasha Baron Cohen!).
