What plans did Princess Diana have for Prince William and Prince Harry?
Once famously close, William and Harry's relationship soured after Harry and Meghan’s 2020 royal exit
A leading royal biographer has reignited the debate over Prince William and Prince Harry’s bitter rift, claiming Princess Diana would have been the “peacemaker” to bring her sons back together.
As the 28th anniversary of Diana’s death approaches on August 31, author Andrew Morton says the late Princess of Wales believed she had “two boys for a reason," with the younger supporting the elder in the “lonely task” of becoming king.
Morton told People that if Diana were alive today, “they would have worked things out in a different way,” calling the ongoing estrangement a “great loss for the monarchy.”
Once famously close, the brothers’ relationship soured after Harry and Meghan’s 2020 royal exit, then fractured further following the couple’s interviews, Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir Spare, which included stinging claims about the family and William.
“Things were said that sparked the initial rift, and it’s never healed,” Morton noted.
Harry himself recently acknowledged that “some members of my family will never forgive me,” while adding he’d still welcome reconciliation, “if they want that.”
