Harry was best man when his mother Anne Cox married Robin back in 2013, and at the time of the wedding, the star admitted that he was hugely nervous about making a speech at the reception.
He said: ‘I did give a speech and I can honestly say it was the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever done.
‘I practiced on my own for days beforehand, on the sofa reciting it to myself. I tried to make it have a bit of everything,” he added.
My greatest accomplishment ????

‘When everyone thought it was going to be really emotional, I pulled the rug out from under everyone’s feet and injected a bit of humour. It seemed to go well.’
The devastating news comes just six months after Harry’s One Director bandmate Louis Tomlinson suffered the loss of his mum Johannah Deakin.
Louis was left heartbroken after his mum died in December following a long battle with leukaemia aged 43.
