Prince Harry: Interview about Diana's death aired during car crash episode of ... trends now
Channel Seven aired a promo for Prince Harry's tell-all interview with 60 Minutes' Anderson Cooper - in which he opens up about the death of his mother Princess Diana - during an episode of Home and Away that featured a fiery car crash.
Some viewers may have found the juxtaposition in poor taste given that Diana died in a car accident in Paris 25 years ago - a tragedy that still haunts her youngest son.
Home and Away returned for its 2023 season on Monday night after a cliffhanger finale in November last year.

The final moments of the 2022 season showed Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis) and Eden Fowler (Stephanie Panozzo) driving to Felicity's wedding to Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) without realising the car's brakes had been cut by a member of the Death Adders bikie gang.
Felicity and Eden are then involved in a horrific car crash with Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and Leah Patterson-Baker (Ada Nicodemou), who were in another car.
Fast-forward to Monday's episode, and things pick up where they left off with Felicity looking bloodied and injured as a rescue team attempts to get her out of the vehicle. Tane also shows up at the scene to be with his bride.
The rescue team is forced to back away after discovering a petrol leak that could start a fire.

At this moment, the episode cut to an ad break with Seven News anchor Angela Cox giving an update on Prince Harry's interview with 60 Minutes.
Promoting the TV special, scheduled to air after Home and Away at 7:30pm, Cox revealed how Harry opened up to Cooper about his trauma and sense of disbelief that followed his mother's death in a car accident in August 1997.
'Good evening. Prince Harry has opened up about his grief over the death of his mother Princess Diana, and taken aim at his father's new wife Camilla,' she said.
'The attacks have been described as "personal" and "stinging."'
