The Netflix star hopped on camera to explain his headspace as he explored romantic connections with 20 women before settling down with one finalist.“Grief is not, like, a constant thing. It’s not like you always feel sad all the time. It hitsyou in waves,” he said in an Instagram video shared on Wednesday, August 12. “Sometimes you’re standing there, and the waves come and knock you over. Other times, the water goes all the way so far out you never see it, but it's always there, and it always comes back.”He continued, “When we were filming Let’s Marry Harry, I thought I was in the best headspace possible. But as you see, when I go back to New Zealand, and I see my sisters for the first time since he passed, and I go back to where he took his last breath…it was like a lot at once; you can visibly see me really struggling with the fact that I just realized he’s actually gone.”Harry later explained that he was “trying to suppress” the realization that his father was no longer with him, and he took accountability for his actions on the show—particularly with his finalists, Danelle Davidson and Amber Mozo.Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.Use your Google account to add this to your settings.“In hindsight with everything, there’s so much stuff that I could have done different and better,” he shared. “But I think after watching the finale in the last episode, you can really see the pain in my eyes and me really struggling, just realizing that he’s no longer here. But in saying that, I did see a lot of signs with my dad, and a lot that wasn’t put in the show.”During an interview on E!’s Hot Goss, Harry told hosts Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts that he had asked his dad to “send him a sign” while filming Let’s Marry Harry.“I remember I was sitting there. Like…I was trying to talk to my dad. I’m like, ‘Dad, like if this is the right thing, please send me a sign.’ I don’t want to fuck up. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. I don’t want to be an idiot,” he explained.“I told him before he passed, like, ‘If I see a bee, I’ll think of you,’” he continued. “And I was walking to this urinal to the toilet…and someone put a bee sticker on the urinal, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay we’re good. Like, this is fine.’ So, it’s all the peace I needed.”The season finale of Let’s Marry Harry is streaming on Netflix now. The reunion special hits the streamer on Wednesday, August 26.
