Prince Harry Cries in Brazil.Why?

Tears of a prince. Prince Harry openly cried on Wednesday, June 25, while meeting with two young Brazilian girls who had lost their mother. The 29-year-old royal, recalling the emotional meeting to reporters, including Us Weekly, said part of the reason he shed tears was because he understood their loss, remembering the devastating loss of his own mother, the late Princess Diana.Picture of Prince Harry and Mum after the cut.

The Prince was visiting ACER, a project run by a British man named Jonathan Hannay, in the town of Diadema outside of Sao Paulo. ACER's purpose is to help underprivileged local kids specifically, those with no parents, to help reunite them with members of their extended family. Harry told reporters he was close to tears as he listened to the heartbreaking stories of young kids who have lost their parents to drugs and violence.One of the anecdotes he heard was of a woman Cristina da Cruz Nascimento, 41, who raised her two granddaughters Karina, 8, and Carolina, 9, because their father was in jail and their mother was murdered at age 24. Looking over at the two young girls, Harry revealed how their experiences of loss made him recall Diana's fatal car crash in August 1997. "I was completely overwhelmed and shocked," Harry said, clearly touched after the encounter.Culled from Us Weekly.
