‘We've Lost Harry Forever'

A distraught William is still grieving for his late mother – and the close relationship he once had with his brother
‘We've Lost Harry Forever'

When it was finally confirmed, after several years of planning, that the long-waited unveiling of a Princess Diana statue at Kensington Palace would go ahead on July 1, it was always going to be an emotional event.

Not least because insiders held high hopes that reuniting in their late mother’s memory would prompt the warring Wales boys to put their bitter feud behind them.

But as the poignant date – which would’ve been Diana’s 60th birthday – drew nearer, William and Harry’s resentment towards each other only grew.

In recent months, the rift between them widened when Harry, 36, and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 39, aired the palace’s dirty laundry on television to Oprah Winfrey and on a podcast with Hollywood actor Dax Shepard.

For his part, William, 39, has backed an external investigation into the duchess’ alleged bullying of his staff when she lived and worked out of Kensington Palace, prompting the Sussexes to label it a smear campaign against Meghan, who they say is the true victim.

BAD BLOOD

“There has been too much bad blood between the brothers to reconcile, even in the name of their mum,” says a source.

“It runs deep – William will never forgive Harry for marrying Meghan against his advice, and William takes no pleasure from the fact he was correct in his suspicion that Meghan was plotting to convince Harry to leave the family and move to America.
