How Princess Diana Would Have 'Fixed' Harry and William's Rift if She Were Still Here

Princess Diana would have hated seeing her sons at war

Princess Diana would have been thrilled to see her son Prince Harry living his life in the US with Meghan Markle, but would have been devastated by his family feud

Princess Diana would have been heartbroken by Prince Harry and Prince William’s bitter feud and would have “found a way to to bridge the rift”, according to a royal expert.

The two brothers have become estranged in recent years, with their relationship breaking down after Harry moved to America with his wife Meghan Markle. The couple moved to the US after stepping down from the Royal Family in 2020.

While the move has played a part in the Sussexes breaking ties with the Royal Family, expert Jennie Bond believes Diana would have approved. “I think Diana would have supported Harry in his move, although I think she would also have found a way to bridge the rift between the brothers,” she explained.

Those who were close to Diana have speculated that had she been alive, her time would be split between Britain and America, using her influential status to champion her charitable causes and boost awareness. Following Harry and Meghan’s impactful tour in Colombia focusing on online safety, Jennie explained how Diana’s presence might have made such engagements better.

“She would certainly have approved of Harry’s efforts to shine a light on mental health issues and also his Invictus Games success,” Jennie told OK! magazine. “I think she would have been proud of her boy for standing up for what he felt he wanted in life: freedom and autonomy.

“So I think there is some reason to say that Harry might feel he is living the life his mother would have loved… free of royal shackles but still a global celebrity able to bring a great deal of publicity to causes about which he cares deeply.”

In 2020, Diana’s former Butler Paul Burrell revealed to CBS News how he believed she would be spending her time if she were alive. He said: “I remember she set out in her sitting room, the plans of a home in Malibu, California, the former home of Julie Andrews, and she said to me ‘I’m buying this house and buying this house to give William and Harry a new perspective on life’.”

The property was a Tuscan-style villa nestled within a five-acre estate in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu, purchased by Dodi Fayed for $7.5million in June 1997. According to Paul, Diana was drawn to the lack of class system or establishment in the US, telling him “nobody’s judgemental here in America”.

This fascination with potential life in the US was also shared by the late royal’s close friend, Sarah, Duchess of York. Speaking to The Sun, Sarah said: “I think first and foremost she’d be hugging her grandchildren and so proud of both her sons and their wives.

“She’d be traveling between Santa Barbara and Kensington Palace. She would also be championing her causes when it came to children’s charities.”
