The comedian went on to ask if the Duke ever called his mother for guidance or advice, even after all these years. Harry said: “I’ve said quite a bit in various interviews lately that I really feel my mother’s presence, especially over the past few years.

I’m pretty sure she’s still alive. I mean, I’m 12 years old,” Harry confessed. “I can’t face the fact that she’s gone.” When asked where he thought she was, he replied: “Hide. Rest, plan, plan, then come pick me and William to get us out of there because she just can’t stand it.” Colbert notes that, like his mother, Harry also “removes” himself from “toxic situations”.
