Prince William and Prince Harry will go deep in the freezer again in 2021, a royal observer predicts – this time about their late mother, Diana.
Harry’s decision to post a boy’s photo of himself with Diana on Archewell, the new website for the nonprofit he founded with wife Meghan Markle, is sure to upset William, the Sun reported, citing expert Phil Dampier. .
In addition, Harry opens a brief 2021 note with “I am my mother’s son,” which William believes is exploiting Diana, Dampier told The Mail.
“I think William will be a little concerned if Harry uses Diana for one of his charity or commercial ventures without consulting him, and I don’t think he would be happy if Harry seems to be exploiting his mother’s iconic status ,” he said.
“It is also very significant that Harry referred to himself as his ‘mother’s son’, but did not call Prince Charles. William is now very much following in his father’s footsteps with his work in the field of environment and conservation. ”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex unveiled Archewell on New Year’s Eve, less than a year after ditching the royal family. Meghan also shared a child’s photo of her and her mother, Doria Ragland; she is estranged from her father, Thomas Markle.
Still, the brothers will be cordial when they unveil a Diana statue at Kensington Palace this summer, Dampier told The Sun earlier.
“I think they will put on a united front for the unveiling of Diana’s statue and I’m sure they will put on a united front for the birthday celebrations,” he said, “but behind the scenes I think there will be a lot of tension.”
