Want to contribute but nobody listens to you, "he says.

His commitment, he said, is the legacy of his mother, Diana. "I do not track my way consciously imagining that my mother would be proud of me. But I think she would be very proud, "said the prince. "With me, there is nothing hidden, everything is authentic. I always try to bring some fun and joy in everything I do. That probably comes from my mother, I try to fill that void.
