Channel Seven aired a promo for Prince Harry’s in-depth interview with Anderson Cooper from 60 Minutes, during an episode of Home and Away that focused on a violent car accident, in which he discusses the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Some viewers might have found the juxtaposition distasteful given that Diana died in a car accident in Paris 25 years ago – a tragedy that still haunts her youngest son.
Home and Away returned to the 2023 season Monday night after a cliffhanger finale in November last year.

Felicity and Eden are then involved in a horrific car accident with Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and Leah Patterson-Baker (Ada Nicodemou) who were in another car.
Fast forward to Monday’s episode and things pick up where they left off. Felicity looks bloody and injured as a rescue team tries to get her out of the vehicle. Tane also shows up at the crime scene to be with his bride.
The rescue team is forced to retreat after discovering a gas leak that could start a fire.

At that moment, the episode was cut to a commercial break with Seven News host Angela Cox providing an update on Prince Harry’s interview with 60 Minutes.
Cox promoted the TV special, which is scheduled to air after Home and Away at 7:30 p.m., and revealed how Harry revealed to Cooper his trauma and feelings of disbelief after the death of his mother in a car accident in August 1997.
‘Good evening. Prince Harry has spoken openly about his grief at the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and has targeted his father’s new wife, Camilla,” she said.
“The attacks were described as ‘personal’ and ‘stabbing’.”

But the former king said that using psychedelics as he got older ultimately “eliminated the idea” that he had to be sad to prove he “missed” his mother.
“I would never recommend that people do this recreationally,” he said during the hour-long interview with Cooper.
“But if you do it with the right people, if you’re going through a lot of loss or grief or trauma, then those things have a way of working like medicine.

“For me they removed the windshield, the windshield, the misery of loss. They dispelled this idea I had in my head that… I had to cry to prove to my mom that I missed her. Actually, she just wanted me to be happy.”
Harry also revealed that his older brother Prince William was convinced their mother was alive and said both brothers believed she would one day get in touch with their sons and take them with her.
According to Harry, he and William were “talking about the idea that their mother hadn’t died in the 1997 car crash but had decided to “go away for a while”, with the Duke of Sussex stating they believed it was “a Part of it ‘is a plan’.
“For a long time I just refused to accept that she… she was gone,” he said.

‘[I believed she had disappeared] for a while and then she would call us and we would go to her, yes.’
