00:00Princess Diana's belief that William and Harry were destined to support each other.

00:04Princess Diana's wish, a brother's bond at the heart of the crown.

00:08A mother's hope, Harry beside William through royal duty.

00:12Biographer Andrew Morton recently reflected on Princess Diana's private thoughts about her sons,

00:19revealing that she often shared a poignant belief about their roles in life.

00:23Biographer reveals Diana saw her sons as each other's lifeline.

00:28According to Morton, Diana always used to say she had two boys for a reason.

00:33The younger would be there to support the older in the lonely task as future king.

00:37This sentiment captures the late princess's hope that Prince Harry would always stand by Prince William

00:42as he took on the immense responsibility of the throne.

00:46Her vision was rooted in a deep understanding of the pressures of royal duty

00:50and the comfort that comes from having a sibling who understands that world.

00:54Diana's private words.

00:56Harry meant to support William's reign.

00:59How Princess Diana's passing removed the only person who could have mediated the brothers' current feud.

01:05Morton believes that if Diana had lived, the strained relationship between William and Harry

01:10would likely have taken a very different course.

01:12He is certain that she would have stepped in to mediate disputes and bridge misunderstandings

01:17before they deepened.

01:19The ongoing rift, which began after Harry stepped back from royal duties and relocated to California

01:25with Meghan Markle in January 2020, has evolved into years of limited contact and visible public distance.

01:34Without Diana's calming influence, the brothers have lacked a trusted figure who could remind them

01:39of their shared history and family duty.

01:41Prince Harry's public statement, expressing a desire to end disputes with his family.

01:47In contrast to the current silence between them, Harry has expressed a clear desire to reconcile.

01:53Speaking to the BBC in May 2025, he acknowledged the series of disagreements that have defined his relationship

02:00with certain members of his family.

02:02Prince Harry explained that he no longer sees value in continuing disputes, stating that

02:09life is precious and should not be spent in ongoing conflict.

02:13His words suggested a readiness to find common ground, even though recent history indicates that

02:19such a reunion would require significant efforts from both sides.

02:23Prince William's remarks at the Army Air Corps visit interpreted as a subtle message to his brother.

02:28While Harry has voiced hope for reconciliation, William's recent remarks during a visit to the Army Air Corps,

02:35ACC, in Waddesham, Suffolk, hinted at a very different stance.

02:40While speaking with a soldier about family relationships, the Prince of Wales remarked,

02:45Some of them might not want to see you that much.

02:48It's a mixed bag sometimes.

02:50The comment, made in a light, conversational tone, has been widely interpreted as a veiled reference

02:56to his own relationship with his younger brother.

02:58Whether intended as a direct message or not, it suggested that William may not yet be ready

03:03to move past their differences.

03:05William takes over Harry's former military role.

03:08Adding to the tension is William's appointment to a role once held by Harry.

03:12In May 2024, King Charles named William Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps,

03:17a position that Harry had once been closely associated with due to his own military service.

03:23The reassignment not only signified a formal shift in responsibilities within the royal family,

03:27but also served as a symbolic moment in their personal relationship.

03:32For William, it was a step forward in his royal duties.

03:35For Harry, it was a reminder of the life he left behind when he stepped away from senior royal responsibilities.

03:41The lasting impact of Princess Diana's words on her son's futures.

03:47The resurfacing of Diana's words about her sons underscores the emotional weight of their current estrangement.

03:54Her vision of unity between William and Harry was rooted in a belief that the monarchy's future depended on their mutual support.

04:01The fact that their relationship has reached such a fractured state would likely be a source of deep sadness for her.

04:08Observers note that while Harry seems willing to take steps toward healing the rift,

04:12William's more guarded or resistant approach suggests that reconciliation may be slow, if it happens at all.

04:18Without the mother who once saw them as each other's greatest allies,

04:21the two princes now navigate their roles and their relationship on very different paths.
