In an interview for their upcoming documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Prince Harry shares how his mother's death has left a "festering wound" in him and how he's reminded almost daily of her tragic passing.

During the interview, the young royal shared that "every click and flash of a camera" reminds him about the worst part of his mother's life as opposed to the best. And that as a royal, he felt so much pressure having to live in the spotlight and having to deal with the press as it would remind him of his own mother's tumultuos and rocky relationship with the press.

"I think being part of this family, in this role, in this job, every single time I see a camera, every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash it takes me straight back, so in that respect it's the worst reminder of her life as opposed to the best," said the Prince. The comments come during his 10-day African tour where he retraced Princess Diana's footsteps when she visited 22 years ago.

Prince Harry mentioned that it's been a struggle finishing the work that his mother began as bad memories of her passing would be triggered whenever he'd have to deal with the press, but that he wanted to continue to do so becase he understood that the negative aspects came with the role that he was born into.

In the interview, it was revealed that it was very emotional for Prince Harry to walk down a street in Angola that was once a minefield and that was visited by Princess Diana, as well. Princess Diana brought global attention to the continent's anti-landmine campaign, but unfortunately did not get to see her initiative through as she passed away a few months later.

Harry shared that there are currently over 1,000 minefields left in the country that have yet to be cleared and went on to say that if his mother were still alive, she would have made sure that those areas were cleared to.

Prince Harry's emotional interview comes in the wake of him taking legal action against a handful of publications that have been "bullying" his wife - leaving him afraid that his wife would fall victim to these "powerful forces" as his mother did.
