Prince Charles did not attend Lady Diana statue unveiling due to "regrettable memories"
The future King of England did not attend the official ceremony on July 1 because he feared painful memories would resurface, The Times reported on Sunday (June 27th).
"He finds it terribly difficult," an anonymous source revealed to The Times on Sunday, June 27. According to a witness, Prince Charles did not attend the unveiling of Lady Diana's statue on Thursday, July 1 - when the princess should have celebrated her 60th birthday - at Kensington Palace. The heir to the throne of England would indeed have feared that his past would come back to haunt him. “These moments are likely to wake up old wounds and, for him, it brings back some memories; whether they are happy, sad, or regrettable, continued this source close to the Prince of Wales. Since Diana's death, he has felt that it is better to keep his feelings to himself and let his sons deal with them. "
"If Diana was alive, the situation would never have taken on this magnitude"
Princes William, 39, and Harry, 36, attended the event. While the conflict between the two brothers would still be relevant, they showed a united front as they lifted the veil on their mother’s statue. Robert Lacey, the author of Battle of Brothers, felt that this official ceremony could bring them together.
"I think that will help matters a lot," the royalty expert said in the columns of Hello magazine! They come from two places far apart to pay homage to their mother. What could they do better than get together? ” Before adding, “Friends of Diana have told me - and I think they're right - that if Diana were alive, the situation would never have gotten this big.”
