The one person who is said to have been able to heal Prince Harry and Prince William’s rift is their late mother, Princess Diana of Wales, an expert has claimed.
The two brothers were close when they were young, but since Prince Harry quit life as a senior royal in 2020, and decided to divulge information about the Firm in public interviews, their relationship has been on the rocks.
The BBC’s former royal correspondent, Jennie Bond, told OK! Magazine: “I believe Diana would have sorted things out between the boys long ago. She would have understood both sides, having rebelled against the system herself.”
Acting as a “go-between”, the expert believes she would have “knocked” the boys’ heads together and made them see sense.
She added: “Perhaps, with his mother to guide and support him, Harry would never have felt the need to speak out on TV and in his book.”

The former royal correspondent added that Diana would have been “heartbroken” to see their current relationship status.
She added: “Her most fervent wish was for her two boys to be best friends for life, and support one another other through their strange destiny. She would have been heartbroken to see how bad things are between them now.”
It comes after Princess Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton told The Mirror’s podcast, ‘Pod Save the Queen’, now ‘Pod Save the King’ that William and Harry’s mother would be “mortified” by what has happened between them.
He said: “There is no question about it, she’d be mortified that William and Harry have got themselves into this emotional tangle. She always said to me on numerous occasions that Harry was William’s wingman, that he was the second boy born into the Royal Family.”
Harry and Meghan hit headlines when they announced they were stepping back as senior working royals in 2020, and then eventually relocated to Montecito, California where they reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The relations between Prince Harry and Prince William appear to remain icy despite their latest in-person meeting at the funeral reception for their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes in August.
The vicar who held the funeral reception for Lord Robert Fellowes said he does not recall seeing the royal brothers speaking to each other.
Prince Harry flew from his home in the US to join his brother at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk and the memorial service took place close to the royal Sandringham Estate.
Reverand Tansey told the Sun: “It was only as I was greeting the congregation on the way out that Prince William was shaking my hand, and then very quickly after Prince Harry did too.
He commented on the lack of interaction between the two brothers at the reception afterwards, saying: “I don’t recollect them speaking to each other but there were a lot of family members and friends speaking to them.”
It was the first time that the brothers had appeared in the same room together since May 2023.
