Princes William and Harry will face an awkward situation this Thursday night while attending Princess Diana's memorial event in London. Both brothers will be present at the Diana Legacy Award at the Science Museum in London, but will avoid any direct interaction, even virtually, thus revealing the depth of their enmity.
Prince William is expected to give an in-person speech to mark the charity's 25th anniversary and present awards to 20 recipients. On the other hand, Prince Henry, who resides in California, will join the winners by video call, but his participation is scheduled only after his brother leaves the event.
This tense dynamic between the brothers makes clear the persistent rift that has grown stronger since Harry's 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle. The interview the couple gave to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and the revelations in Enrique's memoirs further deepened the cracks in their relationship.
The Diana Legacy Award is a charitable initiative that reflects Princess Diana's belief in the transformative power of young people. Recognizes and rewards the inspiring work of young people through mentoring and anti-bullying programs. Dr. Tessy Ojo, executive director of the award, expressed her gratitude for the support of the princes, although their joint presence has become tense.
The brothers' appearance at this memorial event is particularly symbolic, given the shared bond they have through the trauma of losing their mother when they were young. Meanwhile, the return of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales and William's wife, to the public scene has been marked by controversy after she admitted editing a Mother's Day family photo of hers.
