Prince Harry has opened up about missing his late mother Princess Diana, just days after welcoming his first child with Meghan Markle.

On Thursday, the Duke of Sussex jetted to the Netherlands to attend a presentation for the 2020 Invictus Games – where he met former soldier Dennis van der Stroon.

Speaking to the press after meeting Harry, Dennis revealed the pair chatted about family, and the heartbreak of losing his mother, who famously died in a car crash in Paris back in 1997.

“He said missing a mother is like missing some kind of security, how you need that as a son and it falls away when you lose your mother,” Dennis said.

He also said Harry “talked about how having a small child was his new focus and new goal” and that “he was just amazed by the miracles in the world, and how his child has made a lot of people happy.”

Dennis added: “He also told me he’s really happy that his son is so far very quiet.”

Harry’s trip came just one day after he introduced his baby boy to the world on Wednesday.

The Duke and his wife Meghan Markle also revealed their son’s name, which is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
