When rumors of an ongoing feud between Prince William and Prince Harry became public, royal fans were understandably devasted to see the two once-inseparable brothers drift apart. Of all the people who were upset about the brotherly feud, however, we can assume the person who would be the most heartbroken would be the late Princess Diana. It’s easy for anyone to understand why any mother would hate to see her two sons have little words to say to one another, but Princess Diana had seen first hand what life in the spotlight could do to personal relationships — and she hoped her sons would avoid a similar fate.

Princess Diana knew that being a royal could lead to an overwhelming sense of loneliness, and while Prince William wouldn’t be able to completely escape his destiny of becoming King, her hope was that he would at least have Prince Harry by his side. “She would have been very upset at the way these two have split apart,” Morton added.
