Princess Diana would have helped Prince William and Prince Harry heal their rift, says an expert.
The former Princes of Wales, who passed away in 1997, could have played a positive role in bringing the brothers together, says her biographer Andrew Morton.
He told People: "Diana always used to say she had two boys for a reason — the younger would be there to support the older in the lonely task as future King. There is no doubt Diana would have tried to act as a peacemaker between them. If she had been around, they would have worked things out in a different way."
He added: "We all remember the days when Harry and William were joshing with one another, and it all seemed set for their relationship and the future — that Harry, as Diana always used to say, would be William's wingman. It's a great loss for the monarchy."
Morton then opined: "Things were said that sparked the initial rift, and it's never healed."
