Prince Harry reveals in his forthcoming memoir that he genuinely believed his mother, Princess Diana, had faked her own death, according to a report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In passages from \u201cSpare\u201d obtained by Page Six, the Duke of Sussex, who was 12 when Diana died in a Paris car crash, recalled the idea taking shape: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWith nothing to do but roam that castle and talk to myself, a suspicion took hold, which then became a firm belief. This was all a trick.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The book reportedly continues:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cAnd for once the trick wasn’t being played by the people around me, or the press, but by Mummy. Her life’s been miserable, she’s been hounded, harassed, lied about, lied to. So she she’s staged an accident as a diversion and run away. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The young prince and his brother, Prince William, were in Scotland at Balmoral Castle with grandparents Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip when Diana’s vehicle driven by chauffeur Henri Paul crashed in a Paris tunnel while escaping a horde of paparazzi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Diana, 36, died on Aug. 31, 1997, alongside Paul and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed. Only her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones survived the crash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry’s book reportedly says his teachers had him write a \u201cfinal\u201d letter to his mother and that he wanted \u201cto protest that she was still alive,\u201d but went along with it \u201cfor fear they’d think I was mad.\u201d He says he reviewed confidential police files as an adult, however, and both he and William doubted official conclusions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe talked about the crash, for the first time ever,\u201d he wrote, according to Page Six. \u201cWe talked about the recent inquest. A joke, we both agreed. The final written report was an insult. Fanciful, riddled with basic factual errors and gaping logical holes. It raised more questions than it answered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry sat down with Anderson Cooper for \u201c60 Minutes\u201d and Tom Bradby for ITV for individual interviews that will both air on Jan. 8. \u201cSpare\u201d officially hits shelves on Jan. 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
