While there, they contemplated the future, with Harry expressing anxieties while Henners remained carefree. Henners suggested they visit a casino, but Harry politely declined, fearing the scandal it would cause.
Sadly, this turned out to be one of their last encounters as Harry later learned that Henners had died in a car crash in December 2002, at the age of 18.Harry vividly recalls the phone call informing him of the tragedy. He writes about the devastating realization of Henners' death, contrasting it with the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Princess Diana.

The memoir also touches upon Harry's connection with Henners' brothers, Thomas and Charlie.
