Prince Harry and Prince William will both attend Diana's memorial service, but they won't be there at the same time due to their ongoing dispute. The princes are expected to participate in the annual Diana Legacy Awards in London, but reports suggest they will not appear together, as they have in previous years.
According to reports, Princes William and Harry are slated to attend separate sessions of the memorial service. This approach mirrors their actions from last year when they recorded separate videos to congratulate the award winners. Despite their rift, they had previously joined forces to address the audience, as seen in 2021 when they commemorated their mother's 60th birthday.
Their reported falling out traces back to 2018, allegedly stemming from Harry introducing his now-wife, Meghan Markle, to William during her stay at Kensington Palace. In a documentary and in his controversial memoir, Harry hinted at tensions with his brother, claiming William had been critical of Meghan and even physically confronted him during a heated argument.
Dr. Tessy Ojo, chief executive of the Diana Award, expressed gratitude for the support of both Prince Charles and Prince Harry as they celebrate the organization's 25th anniversary. An award spokesperson confirmed that Harry would play a significant role in the celebration, speaking virtually to the award winners during the ceremony.
Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William would also be involved in the memorial service, though details about his participation were not provided in the reports.
