As Princess Diana’s death anniversary looms close, people have been wondering what the late Princess would have said if she knew that his two sons are no longer as close as they were in their younger years.
In recent months, rumors of a royal rift between the two princes, Prince William and Prince Harry have been circulating. Body language experts have been seeing the two brothers become colder with each other.
The rumors were confirmed when Prince Harry himself revealed in an ITV documentary in 2019 that William and he were no longer close.
This news shocked the royal fans and theories of why the brothers are fighting were immediately formulated.
One of the biggest possible reason is the Royal family’s cold shoulder towards Prince Harry’s new wife, Meghan Markle. The Royal family was not expecting Harry to marry Meghan, saying that she was probably one of the many adventures in Harry’s life.
Biography ‘Finding Freedom’ even revealed that Prince William once called Meghan ‘That Girl’ in from of Harry and stating that Harry was only blinded with lust for Meghan.
During there engagement, many people also criticized Harry’s choice of the ring. They said it was not appropriate for such a high-status engagement, even during the wedding, people were still criticizing Meghan.
In the wake of there marriage, numerous tabloids run stories on Meghan and Harry, and mostly they were defaming the couple. Racist issues were run on tabloids as well regarding Meghan, as she was a biracial woman.
But this image given to Meghan was not true at all and the Royal family never made a move to protect Meghan Markle, which according to sources enraged Harry.
This led to Harry releasing a statement without the royal family’s consent and the deteriorating relationship between Harry and William started.
According to one of Princess Diana’s personal bodyguard, the fallout between the brothers would not have happened if the Princess was still alive.
Ken Wharfe, personal bodyguard to Princess Diana since 88-1993 said, “She had tremendous influence over them both and I simply don’t think they would have fallen out like this had Diana been around because she wouldn’t have allowed it to escalate. She’d have quickly instigated a resolution”.
Now, Prince Harry and Meghan have left there posts as senior royals since January 2020. They also decided to leave the UK and move to America where Meghan is from.
Although the decision of Harry and Meghan to leave the royal family was not unbeknownst to the Queen, the sudden urge of finality did surprise her.
Harry and Meghan are currently based in Montecito, Santa Barbara, California.
