Prince Harry reportedly coped with his mother Princess Diana's death by punching his body guard

Prince Harry recalled attempting to fight his bodyguard after he paid a visit to the tunnel in Paris where his mother Princess Diana tragically died.

Narrating in his bombshell memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex wore his heart on his sleeve and shared how he tried to throw hands with his guard, identified as Billy the Rock.

The Duke of Sussex wrote: "When Billy the Rock escorted me back to the hotel, I tried to pick a fight with him. I growled at him, swung on him, slapped his head.

"He barely reacted. He just frowned like an ultra-patient parent. I slapped him again. I loved him but I was determined to hurt him.

"He’d seen me like this before. Once, maybe twice. I heard him say to another bodyguard, 'He’s a handful tonight'," Prince Harry detailed.
