Prince Harry has given an emotional speech to a summit of business leaders, worth $997 per ticket, admitting he never wanted to be a working royal and that the job ‘killed his mum’.
Speaking at the InterEdge Summit at Melbourne Park on Thursday, he made the admission to Australian business leader and former politician Brendan Nelson.
‘After my mum died just before my 13th birthday – I was like: ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role – wherever this is headed, I don’t like it,’ he said.
‘It killed my mum, and I was very much against it, and I stuck my head in the sand for years and years.
‘Eventually I realised – well, hang on, if there was somebody else in this position, how would they be making the most of this platform and this ability and the resources that come with it to make a difference in the world?
‘And also, what would my mum want me to do? And that really changed my own perspective.’
It has been an emotional day for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their last day in Melbourne, with Meghan Markle, 41, opening up about the aggressive online bullying she has received for a decade.
‘Every day for 10 years, I have been bullied and attacked,’ she said during a circle discussion about social media and mental health at the wellbeing program Baytr.
‘And I was the most trolled person in the entire world.’
The couple are due to fly to Sydney later on Thursday.
