Prince Harry Gushes About Princess Diana and Being a "Fun Uncle" to Prince George and Princess Charlotte in a New Interview

In between time spent being totally swoon-worthy and giving Kate Middleton a laugh, Prince Harry has forged quite a charitable legacy for himself. On top of cofounding Sentebale with Prince Seeiso in 2006 to help children in the African country of Lesotho, Harry is involved with a number of other prestigious groups that are all dedicated to making the world a better place. It's this legacy, he told Robin Roberts during an emotional interview with Good Morning America on Friday, that he hopes his mother, Princess Diana, would approve of.

"I hope she's looking down with tears in her eyes, being incredibly proud of what we've established, I suppose," Harry said. "I'm sure she's longing for me to have kids so she can be a grandmother again, but I hope that, once again, everything we do privately and officially, that it makes her proud. I think losing your mother at such a young age does end up shaping your life, massively. Of course it does." Harry also mentioned that he and Prince William "do everything we can to make sure that she's never forgotten and carry on all of the special gifts, as such, that she had and that she portrayed when she was alive." He also hopes that "a lot of my mother's talents are shown in a lot of the work that I do."

In addition to speaking about honoring his late mother, Harry couldn't help but gush about being an uncle. "You've got to have fun in life, otherwise — well, imagine life without fun!" he said, regarding his relationship with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. "You've got to be taken seriously, but I hope that I'm a fun uncle." So cute! Watch the interview above, and then check out all of the heartwarming traditions Diana passed down to her sons.
