“I’ve got a photo up in his nursery… and it was one of the first words that he said. Apart from ‘mama,’ ‘papa,’ it was then ‘grandma,’ ‘grandma Diana’.
“It’s the sweetest thing but at the same time makes me really sad.”
Elsewhere in the chat, Harry opened up about the trauma of his mother’s death and revealed he turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain that he was feeling.
He said: “I was willing to drink, I was willing to take drugs, I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling.
“But I slowly became aware that, okay, I wasn’t drinking Monday to Friday, but I would probably drink a week’s worth in one day on a Friday or a Saturday night.
“And I would find myself drinking, not because I was enjoying it but because I was trying to mask something.”

Harry wasn’t very complimentary about his father, Prince Charles, and admitted that his parenting style ‘didn’t make sense’ to him.
He said: “My father used to say to me when I was younger, he used to say to both William and I, ‘Well, it was like that for me so it’s going to be like that for you.’
“That doesn’t make sense. Just because you suffered, that doesn’t mean your kids have to suffer. Actually quite the opposite.
“If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences you had, you can make it right for your kids.”
“We chose to put our mental health first. That’s what we’re doing. And that’s what we will continue to do. Isn’t this all about breaking the cycle.
“Isn’t it all about making sure that history doesn’t repeat itself? That whatever pain and suffering has happened to you, that you don’t pass on.”
