Prince Harry's reaction to Diana's death at age 12 was characterized by severe grief, emotional shutdown, PTSD, anger, and a prolonged refusal to accept her death, leading to later struggles with mental health, substance use, and a lifelong sense of guilt, though he later found catharsis in allowing himself to cry at her burial and expressing his pain publicly. He shut down emotions for years, believing his mother would return, and only cried once, at her funeral, a moment that broke him, revealing deep trauma he processed much later with therapy, psychedelics, and open sharing.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then Sophie Rhys-Jones) did not attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, reportedly because her strong resemblance to Diana would have been too upsetting for the grieving crowds, a decision made thoughtfully by Sophie herself.

Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Fayed when she died. It was a £3,000 Bulgari yellow gold band with diamonds. The diamond band set in yellow gold was not an engagement ring and was worn on the fourth finger of her right hand, where her butler Paul Burrell advised her to wear it.
Prince Harry whispered to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, that he hoped she was happy and with his grandfather, Prince Philip, and expressed his admiration for her dedication to duty until the end, as revealed in his memoir Spare. He said he hoped she'd be happy and with Grandfather now, acknowledging her service through the Jubilee and her final duties.
To clarify, Princess Diana loved both Prince William and Prince Harry deeply and equally, though her relationship with each son was unique. She had worries and wants for both her boys and she would be heartbroken to see them divided as brothers.

The Malfoys want the battle to cease so they will know what happened to their son Draco. Narcissa lied because she wants the war to end and she knows that Harry is the only one who can end it.
