Princes William And Harry Attend Same Event Honoring Mom Princess Diana Separately Amid Feud
Since marrying Duchess Meghan Markle, Prince Williams and Harry fell out and are not even in a hurry to repair their relationship. The narratives pulled by the spare and his wife are not even helping Al. Even the memory of their mother Princess Diana is not enough to mend the rift.
Both princes are expected to honour her today, on the 25th anniversary of the Diana Award. Like the years before, both will attend separately, as the brother princes are still estranged. The Diana Legacy Awards, held on Thursdays at the Science Museum in London, honour young leaders from all over the world who guide and inspire their communities, just as the late Diana did.
Per Harper Bazaar’s report, Princes William and Harry will go separately. The Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne will attend the event for two hours today to meet key staff and supporters of the Diana Award to make a speech at the ceremony and present Legacy Awards to this year’s winners.
Immediately after he left, his brother Harry joined the event virtually, to meet with the winners. A charity rep told Bazaar: “He is scheduled to speak with the award recipients, virtually, on the evening of the awards to celebrate their accomplishments.” A source added that, while the brothers will not see each other at the event, both are still “very involved” with the charity, and plans for the evening have been made for each to play a “key role.”
Princes William and Harry have been part of the Diana Award since its inception in 1999. The spare made a surprise attendance last year at a seminar for the ceremony. But the two have not attended the event together in some time. In 2021, they both showed up but separately with William there in person and Harry calling in via video chat.
As stated above, the brothers fell out after Harry married Duchess Meghan and then decided with her in 2020 to step back from their role as senior royals. The brothers’ relationship only got more complicated once Harry and Meghan released a Netflix docuseries detailing their difficult time in the royal family.
Harry’s memoir Spare also added a strain to their relationship. In an interview with Good Morning America in 2022 to promote his book, Harry was asked what Princess Diana might think of his strained relationship with William. “I think she would be sad,” he stated. “I think she’d be looking at it long-term to know that there are certain things that we need to go through to be able to heal the relationship.”
