The Duke of Sussex has said that he will "share the spirit" of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales with his two children.
It comes ahead of the 25th anniversary of her death, after the Princess sadly died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.
Speaking at a dinner in Aspen, Colorado, for Sentebale – his Africa-based charity supporting young people with HIV – Harry said he hopes to do Diana proud every day, adding that he wants to ensure she is not forgotten and admitting it is hard as he wishes his children could have met her.

The Duke said: “My dear friend Prince Seeiso and I founded Sentebale 16 years ago in honour of our mothers, with a mission to support many of the most vulnerable young people on the planet – and to give them care and help them thrive.
“In Sesotho, the language of the Basotho – the word Sentebale means ‘forget-me-not’. Next week is the 25th anniversary of my mother’s death, and she most certainly will never be forgotten.
“I want it to be a day filled with memories of her incredible work and love for the way she did it. I want it to be a day to share the spirit of my mum with my family, with my children, who I wish could have met her.
“Every day, I hope to do her proud. She was tireless in her work to support and destigmatise those experiencing HIV/AIDS. Fittingly, her favourite flowers were forget-me-nots.
“I hope we can remember my mother’s legacy by recommitting to those we serve, whoever and wherever that may be.
“For Sentebale, our commitment is to ending HIV and providing meaningful care and support for the children and young people whose lives have been affected by this disease. Because they too will never be forgotten.”
Her legacy lives on in sons Harry and William through their work championing causes close to her heart, with Harry ensuring he is continuing her work by supporting those with HIV/Aids through Sentebale, and by publicly having tests for the virus – including with pop superstar Rihanna in 2016.
