In the past few years, Prince Harry has slowly opened up about his role in the Royal Family and the long grieving process after his mother's death 20 years ago, with an earnestness that has gained him a lot a of praise.

In the latest of these statements, the 32-year-old prince told Newsweekno one in the Royal Family wants to be king or queen.

“We are involved in modernizing the British monarchy," he said. "We are not doing this for ourselves but for the greater good of the people…. Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don’t think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time.”

The overhaul of the British monarchy is something really close to Harry's heart, as his several public engagements reveal.

"It's a tricky balancing act. We don't want to dilute the magic. The British public and the whole world need institutions like it," he said.

In the interview, he also spoke about walking in the London funeral procession for his mother, Princess Diana, aged just 12, joining his father, the Prince of Wales, grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, and uncle Earl Spencer.

"My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television," he said.

"I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don't think it would happen today."

Earlier this year, Harry spoke candidly about being near "complete breakdown" while dealing with the grief of losing his mother in a car crash, saying he "shut down all his emotions" for nearly two decades.

That despite Prince William trying to persuade him to seek help.

"My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum, because why would that help?" he said.

"(I thought) it's only going to make you sad, it's not going to bring her back. So from an emotional side, I was like 'right, don't ever let your emotions be part of anything.'"

Harry praised his late mum, Diana, for helping him maintain his "ordinary life", adding that people "would be amazed" by the ordinary life he and William live.

"My mother took a huge part in showing me an ordinary life, including taking me and my brother to see homeless people. Thank goodness I’m not completely cut off from reality," he said, adding that he does his own shopping.

“Even if I was king, I would do my own shopping."
