William and Harry will mark Diana’s anniversary separately in private – Times of India

London: Princess William And To trouble Will celebrate the 25th death anniversary of his mother princess on Wednesday DianaPrivately but other than that there is no sign of the feud between the brothers coming to an end.
Former Lady Diana Spencer, whose fairytale marriage to Prince Charles captivated the world until it was publicly resolved by infidelity and divorce, died in a car accident on August 31, 1997.
Five years ago, his sons took part in a series of public memorials of his life, and spoke of the lasting impact his death had on him.
This year the brothers will not take part in any official function but would rather celebrate the occasion in private with their family.
William, 40, recently announced a move from London to the Windsor estate west of London with his wife Catherine and their three young children.
Harry, 37, now lives in California with his wife, Meghanand their two children, after the couple left the royal family in early 2020.
The Daily Telegraph said on Saturday that the brothers “agreed to draw a line under their public memorial” on the 20th anniversary.
Spokespersons for both couples confirmed that they would spend the day privately.
Diana’s shock death at just 36 years old laid a wreath at the gates of her former London home, Kensington Palace.
Well-wishers are again expected to plant flowers at the palace and near the entrance to the Paris Road Tunnel, where the speeding accident took place.
Diana remains widely respected as a fashion icon and especially after her public divorce, having cut through the stuffy royal convention.
She also received praise for her charity work highlighting the landmine crisis and encouraging change in attitudes for people with HIV/AIDS.
In a sign of enduring fascination with the royal, a sporty Ford Escort sold for £737,000 ($864,000) at auction last weekend.
His marital troubles will also be seen in the latest series of the hit Netflix The play “The Crown” later this year.
Majesty Magazine’s managing editor Joe Little said that Diana influenced her sons to be less formal than the traditional royals.
She pointed to William’s hugs for England’s women footballers after their Euro 2022 win this month, saying “they feel more ‘touchy’ than ever.”
“William can see that there was no need for more formality in royal life that, when his father was a similar age, the institution of monarchy works well without all that starch,” he said.
Last week Harry, who has admitted to a mental health struggle caused by his mother’s death, said he would “share my mother’s spirit with my family, with my children, who I wished she had met.” could”.
“Every day I look forward to making her proud,” he said last week at a fundraising dinner for his Sentebel charity in the United States, which supports youth living with HIV.
“I wish this day to be filled with memories of his incredible work and love for the way he did it,” he said.
William and Harry were only 15 and 12 when Diana died and they provided the permanent image of her funeral, moving heads leaning against the back of her coffin.
Last year the brothers unveiled a statue of him at Kensington Palace on what would have been his 60th birthday.
He said he remembered “his love, strength and character – qualities that made him a force for good throughout the world, changing countless lives for the better”.
But one rift – Harry is said to have started dating Meghan soon after – was barely hidden.
The pair were seen together in April 2021 at the funeral of their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip.
They also stood apart in recent public ceremonies, marking the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
William reacted angrily to the couple’s claims of racism in the royal family in a television interview.
Harry, who is expected to reveal more in an upcoming memoir, has also said that William and his father were trapped in a hidden institution.
The couple are due for a series of charity events in the UK next week, staying near William and Kate on the sprawling Windsor estate.
There are reportedly no plans for the brothers to meet, nor are there plans for Harry to visit his ailing 96-year-old grandmother at the Balmoral Retreat in Scotland.
