Royal family drama has been in the spotlight, the relationship between Harry and his brother William has been tense. But when they reunited at Prince Philip’s funeral, many wondered if this could be the start of mending their bond. Body language experts, like Adrianne Carter, even suggested that their behavior hinted at the beginning of reconciliation.
What makes their next meeting even more emotional is that it centers around their late mother, Princess Diana. Royal historian Robert Lacey shares in his book, “Battle of Brothers: William, Harry and the Inside Story of a Family in Tumult,” that Diana once made her sons promise they would always remain best friends and never let anyone come between them.
A Promise That Stands the Test of Time
Back in 2017, William and Harry teamed up to create a heartfelt documentary, “Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.” This project was a way for them to honor her memory together. It’s clear that even after her passing, their mother’s influence has kept them connected. And maybe, just maybe, Diana will be the key to healing their current rift.
Despite the tensions between them, one thing is certain: when it comes to Princess Diana, the brothers stand united. Over the years, they’ve found ways to pay tribute to her, such as the statue being unveiled in her honor today. This statue is a symbol of their dedication to keeping her legacy alive. And it’s not the only one. They’ve also worked on documentaries that celebrate her life.
The Rift Between Brothers
While they’ve come together to honor their mother, other areas of their lives have caused them to drift apart. The fallout from Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah seemed to widen the gap between the brothers. However, many believe that this difficult period could actually lead to a reconciliation—something their mother, Princess Diana, would have deeply wanted.
According to royal historian Robert Lacey, in his 2020 book “Battle of Brothers,” Diana made her sons promise to always have each other’s backs. Lacey, who spoke with Diana’s psychic, Simone Simmons, revealed that Diana told her sons, “You must promise me that you will always be each other’s best friends. And never let anyone come between you.”
A Moment That Melted Hearts
After Diana made them swear this promise, Simmons recalls that both boys high-fived each other and gave their mother a huge hug. It was a sweet moment, one that anyone witnessing would have found touching. Right after this heartfelt moment, the brothers ran outside to play soccer together—just like any other kids, but with a bond that would face many challenges over the years.
As William and Harry navigate their complicated relationship, one thing remains constant: their promise to their mother. No matter what happens, Diana’s memory will always be a powerful force in their lives—perhaps the force that brings them back together.
