William and Harry join forces for the inheritance of their mother Diana… but not too much anyway

Former wife of Prince Charles, who now reigns as Charles III, Lady Diana is the mother of Princes William and Harry. The Princess of Wales unfortunately did not have time to see her two boys grow up, as she died prematurely on August 31, 1997. On that day, the car in which Diana Spencer was traveling, and which was taken chased by paparazzi, got stuck in one of the pillars of the Alma bridge in Paris. An event that had deeply shaken the British people. Without this terrible tragedy, Lady Diana would have celebrated her 62nd birthday on Saturday July 1, 2023. In order to honor her memory, a somewhat special ceremony takes place each year on the eve of her birthday.

Indeed, the Diana Awards 2023 were awarded on Friday June 30, 2023. For the record, these awards aim to reward young British people who invest body and soul in a noble cause that is close to their hearts, as Diana Spencer did. in his lifetime. As part of this ceremony, Princes William and Harry joined forces, but separately. Indeed, the two children of Lady Diana recorded a video message each on their side, which were then both broadcast during the Diana Awards 2023. For the record, the two brothers have been cold since Prince Harry made the decision to leave the British royal family to move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, and his two children, Archie and Lilibet.

Harry and William: two very different speeches for the children of Lady Diana

“She recognized (to young people, editor’s note) a unique way of wanting to change what is stagnant and of wanting to move towards a much more inclusive and compassionate society.“, said Prince Harry, referring to his mother in his video. For his part, Prince William preferred speak directly to the young winners of the Diana Awards 2023. The two speeches of Lady Diana’s children were therefore radically opposed, like their respective personalities. Despite their differences, the two brothers still and always continue to salute the memory of their mother each year. As a reminder, princes William and Harry were still young children when they were brutally deprived of their mother. An event that profoundly marked their common existence.
