Prince Harry and Prince William plan to stay “shoulder to shoulder” at a memorial they commissioned for their mother, Princess Diana, this summer – despite the tension between the brothers caused by the royal race scandal, it was revealed on Friday.
“I can reveal exclusively that William is still committed, as well as Harry, to meet on July 1 for the inauguration of the Princess Diana statue in Kensington Gardens,” said Russell Myers, a specialist in the British royal family, in the UK morning. mes “Loraine” Friday.
“This could be a monumental period for the brothers,” said Myers, adding that the brothers have hardly spoken for months, according to Sun.
The revelation came a day after Prince William contradicted the claims made by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, that Markle suffered from racism behind the palace walls.
Asked about the complaint – which included that a member of the royal family had concerns about how “dark” the couple’s baby would be – William replied on Wednesday that “we are not a racist family”.
In a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, Prince Harry said he faced racist comments after he started dating Markle and that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls. He also made it clear that he and Prince William are on “different paths”.
But despite the royal family’s quarrel, Prince Harry promised to return to the UK from California this summer for the planned inauguration of a memorial statue that he helped to order for his mother.
The statue was commissioned by Prince Harry and Prince William in 2017 in honor of the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. It will be revealed on its 60th anniversary.
Princess Diana died with her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, on August 31, 1997, when their car crashed in Paris, France.
