Princess Diana’s legacy is still shaping the story of the British royal family with a new book claiming she would have resolved her son, Prince William and Prince Harry’s fight if she were alive.
The book, Dianaworld by Edward White, claimed that the both the feuding brothers believe they are following in her footsteps, William by supporting the Royal Family, and Harry by standing up against it.
The author further claimed that the former Princess of Wales would have been very upset about their argument but would have done her best to bring them back together.
“Doubtless, she’d have been horrified,” penned author White, per The Mirror. “But her sons are arguing about what their mother’s true legacy is.”
“Diana said that she was trying to raise a future king that would ensure the monarchy survived into the 21st century – and William is trying to do a Diana reboot of the monarchy, combining the best of his mother and his grandmother.“
The author continued: “There’s something about Diana that encourages people to read whatever they want to read into her.
“The way people can look at Diana as embodying totally differing sides of an argument even applies to her sons."
He went on to note that if Diana if alive, she would have managed to get the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex into a room so they would talk it out.
Diana tragically passed away in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, when William was just 15 and Harry was 12.
Her death deeply affected both William and Harry, and they both have spoken about the pain of losing their mother at such a young age.
The report suggests that both boys honoured their mother’s memory in different ways with William choosing to stay close to royal duties.
However, Harry took a different path and stepped away from the royals along with his wife, Meghan, and kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to move to the US.
