No statement issued by Prince William, Harry on Princess Diana's 40th wedding anniversary

On July 29, Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding marked the 40 years mark. The prince of Wales and Lady Di tied the knot on July 29, 1981 in a grand royal wedding.

The couple welcomed two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry before they split in 1992. Charles and Diana got divorced in 1996, a year before Diana died in a car accident in Paris in 1997.

As the royal fans remember Princess Diana on the day she married the Queen Elizabeth’s son, no official statement has been issued by her sons to mark the occasion.

Earlier this month, Harry and William reunited in London, to unveil a new statue of their mother Princess Diana in Kensington Palace. Prince Harry's relations with his brother and father have worsened after he stepped down from his royal duties and settled in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle and children.

In a sensational 1995 interview with journalist Martin Bashir, Diana had shocked the nation by admitting to an affair and sharing details of her marriage to the heir to the throne, Prince Charles.

It was the first time Diana had commented publicly about her doomed marriage. Her remark that "there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded" - a reference to Charles rekindling his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, now his second wife - was particularly damaging.

Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles on 9 April 2005.
