Harry revealed he turned to therapy after coming “close to a complete breakdown” over the loss.
And he told how he turned to boxing as a means of safely taking out his aggression and frustration.
The Prince — who insists he is now in a “good place” — spoke out in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
Giving an account of conquering his demons, Harry told mental health journalist Bryony Gordon: “I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well.
He said he was close to a ‘complete breakdown on numerous occasions’
“I have probably been very close to a complete breakdown on numerous occasions when all sorts of grief and all sorts of lies and misconceptions and everything are coming to you from every angle.”
Prince Harry said: “I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well.
Harry added: “My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum, because why would that help? “(I thought) it’s only going to make you sad, it’s not going to bring her back.
“So from an emotional side, I was like ‘right, don’t ever let your emotions be part of anything’.
“So I was a typical 20, 25, 28-year-old running around going ‘life is great’, or ‘life is fine’ and that was exactly it.”
Prince Harry lost his mother when he was just 12-years-old
He insisted he was lucky it was “only two years” before he discovered talking through his problems could save him.
He said: “During those years I took up boxing, because everyone was saying boxing is good for you and it’s a really good way of letting out aggression.
“And that really saved me because I was on the verge of punching someone, so being able to punch someone who had pads was certainly easier.”
Asked if he had ever seen a “shrink”, he said: “I’ve done that a couple of times, more than a couple of times, but it’s great.”

Prince Harry insisted his emotional problems were not a product of war — despite seeing combat in Afghanistan.
But he credited his recovery in part to his work with wounded and sick ex- servicemen at the personnel recovery unit, where he learned the value of talking.
He is now determined to help save others.
Harry said: “I know there is huge merit in talking about your issues and the only thing about keeping it quiet is that it’s only ever going to make it worse.”
He added: “It doesn’t matter whether you are a prince or a mother or a CEO of a company or a white van driver or a kid.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, mental health, mental fitness, relates to every single one of us and there’s only positives that come out of having a conversation and talking about it.”
Prince Harry has hinted before that he spent years blocking out the emotion of Diana's death.
But this is the first time he has said he sought professional help.
The revelation will be seen as a major boost for those suffering with mental health problems but too scared of the stigma to either talk to friends and family or a counsellor.
Is Kate Middleton expecting a third child with Prince William?
The source also spilled juicy details about the not-so-private life of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “Kate is telling those close to her that she’s thrilled to be pregnant again.” Whoa! It seems like the royal family is serious about wanting a large family.
“William is ensuring she’s resting up when she’s at home,” the source continued. “She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy.” The mother-of-two has been allegedly thinking up names for baby No. 3. If it’s a boy, James would be an ideal choice while Emily or Olivia is likened for a girl. Baby names are surely such a big deal in the British Monarch.
As of now, we’re still waiting for an official response from the representatives of the Kensington Palace regarding this issue.

Meghan Markle is allegedly pregnant with Prince Harry’s first child, says Hollywood Life. Moreover, Kate Middleton is expecting her third child with Prince William. It’s really thrilling for the House of Windsor to be welcoming two royal babes at the same time. The baby news created an exciting atmosphere as people betted on the prospect of another royal wedding for Prince Harry and Megan. The couple has been inseparable ever since they confirmed their romance way back in 2015
It was even previously reported that Prince Harry has been frequently visiting the Kensington Palace every now and then to check on his new apartment. The spatial apartment, which is currently under renovations, is said to be prince and Megan’s new home after tying the knot soon. And now, this piece of news about Meghan Markle allegedly being pregnant with Prince Harry’s first child may be the icing on the cake to their highly publicized relationship.
Yet, are these reports true? Let’s find out!
Is Meghan Markle pregnant with Prince Harry’s first child?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “can’t wait” to start a family, according to a report by Hollywood Life. An insider claimed that some people believed the actress is already bearing a child. Many are speculating that “she’s pregnant because she’s avoiding alcohol and has been complaining about feeling nauseous over recent weeks. She’s barely leaving the house right now.” If this is true, then they just took their relationship to a higher notch.
Samantha Markle, Meghan’s half-sister shared that she is happy for the actress who is about to welcome motherhood. She told the publication, “Meghan will be attentive… [She] and Harry will be great parents. She seems to be at a point in her life [where she] has… the skills to develop a happy, healthy child.”
In fact, it’s not just the Suits star who is feeling jovial about the thought of parenthood. A few friends of the prince revealed that Harry has already built a nursery and his pad in Kensington Palace was designed to be child-friendly. Earlier this month, Meghan shut down her personal website prompting questions that she is prepping for the royal life ahead and moving to London.
However, Gossip Cop, immediately denied that Meghan Markle is pregnant with Prince Harry’s child. The fabricated tabloid report was just made up by Star Magazine and to prove the story’s falsification, the website checked in with a source at Kensington Palace. Markle isn’t pregnant and the claims were equally “false.”
Sorry to bust that to you, folks! Perhaps, Prince Harry and Meghan are indeed looking forward to starting a family, but not now. The pair has to ask the Queen’s blessing first before any wedding bells are heard in the palace. And that’s not an easy feat for both Meghan and the prince.

Prince Harry just couldn’t wait to see Meghan Markle any longer! He showed up at the actress’s Toronto doorstep just days before Easter as we’re left swooning over their romance!
Looks like Prince Harry missed Meghan Markle too much to stay away. The 32 year-old showed up at the Suits actress’s Toronto doorstep on Wednesday, Apr. 12 just in time for the Easter weekend. Harry totally tried to sneak quietly into 35 year-old’s place with a baseball cap on as he carried his duffle bag to the door, but E! News‘ cameras caught him.
Meghan just down her lifestyle blog The Tig on Apr. 7. “After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig,” she wrote. “What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity.” Some have speculated that Meg’s decision to close down her beloved site might mean she’s getting ready to take on some more serious royal duties should she and Harry get engaged.
There’s been endless wondering about whether or not Harry could be close to popping the question to Meghan. She reportedly has plans to move into Harry’s Kensington Palace apartment this summer. Meghan has to finish filming Suits before she could make the move across the pond, but Prince Harry allegedly cannot wait. He “keeps popping round and asking when it will be ready,” a palace source previously told the Daily Mail. “He seems in a real hurry to move in with Meghan,” the insider said and added, “It’s sweet that Harry and Meghan will be living next to Prince William, 34, and Kate Middleton, 35.”

Ever since we first learned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are dating, the tabloid press has basically been playing the game of Life with tiny pictures of the couple glued to their little pink and blue pegs.
Just spin the wheel and report the outcome as an unconfirmed rumor!

Trying to keep a low profile, the 31-year-old was seen wearing a baseball cap and holding a duffle bag.
The couple’s relationship looks to be going from strength to strength, and this latest holiday visit is doing nothing to quell rumours of an impending engagement!
It will also be interesting to see whether Harry will bring his love to Pippa Middleton's upcoming wedding, as their attendance as a couple may very well steal attention away from the bride!
Recently, Meghan has shut down her lifestyle blog The Tig, and rumour has it they’re looking to start a family.
A source told New Idea that the pair are “100 per cent trying for a baby”, and apparently have the Queen’s blessing, despite “having a baby out of wedlock being a break from royal protocol”.
Meghan has previously talked about how much she’d love to become a mum, telling Best Health Canada, "I can't wait to start a family, but in due time," just months before she confirmed her romance with the prince.
The actress is officially part of the Royal Family!
Because she and prince Harry really are engaged and a wedding is being planned and all of Great Britain is about to shut down for the next several months?
No.
she
Because Markle is finally the subject of wild pregnancy speculation.
And let's just say Kate Middleton can relate, many,many many times over.
According to the latest OK! Weekly cover story, Markle may be expecting her first child with Harry.
(It would also be the rising star's first child overall.)
As you can see below, the front page of this issue screams “Meghan Tells Princess Kate: I’m Having Harry’s Baby!”
It claims that Markle made this “secret confession” during a “girls’ night out" to Middleton, which may be the hardest part of this entire story to believe.
Could Harry have knocked up his girlfriend?
Sure. They're probably having sex and mistakes happen.
But do Markle and Middleton enjoy drunken nights out alone? LOL, no!
According to anonymous source - who are totally real and not remotely made up by editors - Meghan and Markle managed to sneak into a London pub without anyone identifying them.
And, once they were inside, the alcohol and the conversation flowed freely.
“By the end of the evening, which the insider says stretched till 1 a.m., Meghan had confessed to Kate that she’s so in love with Prince Harry, 32, she’d have his baby tomorrow if she could!” writes the tabloid.
This source is then quoted as saying the following:
“Meghan told Kate that, as far as she’s concerned, they should start trying [to conceive] as soon as they’ve announced their engagement.
"She’s got baby fever!”
So, just to emphasize, OK! isn't actually reporting that Markle is pregnant.
It's claiming (falsely, we're sure) that she simply told Kate Middleton that she wants to get pregnant someday soon. That's a pretty big difference.
Markle should probably get used to these sorts of rumors.
As the likely future wife of Prince Harry, she'll be subjected to scrutiny that she'll probably never fully adjust to.
If she thinks Suits fans are passionate, wait until she meets Royal Family followers!
For now, Markle has managed to avoid any real scandal.
She hasn't really said anything in public, either, ever since her romance with Harry went viral late last year.
But those tabloids and newspapers continue to wonder and write anyway, even alleging thatMarkle and Middleton are engaged in some kind of feud.
And that pretty much explains what Markle is in for:
She's going out for drinks and sharing major secrets with Middleton... or she's engaged in a rivalry with the future Queen. There's really no way for Markle to win.
The best thing she can do is lay low, use protection when having sex until she really is prepared to conceive and simply enjoy her time with prince Harry.
