The 32-year-old prince has recently opened up about the mental scars left by his mother's death in a auto crash nearly 20 years ago, and told the U.S. weekly magazine of the pain of having to walk behind her coffin in front of thousands of onlookers.
In 1997, the youngster joined his father, the Prince of Wales, his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, 15-year-old brother, Prince William, and uncle, Earl Spencer, in a funeral procession through the streets of London for Diana, Princess of Wales.
The interview, which is being broadcast on Forces TV, a station dedicated to the UK Armed Forces and the wider military world, Harry, who served in the army for 10 years, spoke to Paralympic medal victor, Dave Henson, about what his experience was after Diana died, as he recalled the panic attacks he used to have as a child.
He told Newsweek magazine: 'My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television. "Oh, hang on, I can't get out of here, I have got to just hide it".

Describing how hard he tries to maintain a somewhat normal life by doing his own supermarket shopping, the son of Princess Diana said it's difficult to find the balance in making the Royal family accessible.
Prince William's brother suggested no one in his family really wants to be king or queen, but have vowed to carry out their duty for the "greater good of the people".

Last month, we learned that Prince William and Prince Harry feel they let down their mother when they were younger. Afghan was the moment where I was like, "Right, deal with it"'. "That is hugely powerful", he said.
Prince Harry is determined to continue her charitable legacy, however.
But he insisted the royals were still vital, adding: "We don't want to dilute the magic".
"Even if I was king, I would do my own shopping", he said. Sometimes. I worry someone will snap me with their phone. "I was like 'right-deal with it", he said.
Prince Harry told the magazine, which says it was given access to the prince for a almost a year, that he was "involved in modernising the British monarchy".
Finishing his interview with Force TV, Harry said: "You help yourself, so you can help others".
Since undertaking two front-line tours of Afghanistan and serving for 10 years, the Prince has been using his status as a royal to help others battling mental health illness.
