Prince Harry has been a royal all his life, so it's safe to say he's used to all the paparazzi and publicity. Even with that being so, the Duke admitted that the constant press doesn't exactly bring back the best memories in an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby for the "Harry & Meghan: An African Journey" documentary.

Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, died in the hospital after being injured in a car crash in a road tunnel in Paris that the media believed was caused by paparazzi. Now, 22 years later, Harry revealed that he still isn't at peace with her passing.

"I think [of] being part of this family, in this role, in this job every single time I see a camera, every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash it takes me straight back," he explained. "So, in that respect, it’s the worst reminder of her life as opposed to the best."

Prince Harry described his mother's death as a "wound that festers" and is a large part of the reason that he's fired off a lawsuit against British tabloids -- a decision that left the public divided.

"Though this action may not be the safe one, it is the right one. Because my deepest fear is history repeating itself," he explained in a statement. "I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces."

"Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences," the 35-year-old wrote. "A ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son."

"Harry & Meghan: An African Journey" airs Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 10 PM ET on ABC.
