Brothers-at-war William and Harry are set to reunite to honour their beloved mother tomorrow night - from thousands of miles away.
The Prince of Wales is expected at the Diana Legacy Awards ceremony, introduced in 2017 to celebrate the life of the princess on the 20th anniversary of her death. The heir will attend at the Science Museum in person where he will give a speech. Winners of the awards, handed out to people aged between nine and 25 who improve others’ lives, will also get to meet his brother - albeit virtually as he will still be in his Californian home.
Last year the princes did not speak the other's name while recording separate video messages recorded more than 5,000 miles apart. Instead, their offices were forced to organise separate appearances with The Diana Award charity. Speaking in 2021 at the same event, Prince Harry spoke fondly of his brother, while telling reporters: “William and I are recognising mum’s 60th birthday. Each one of us has the ability to help create a more equitable world. And the brilliant award recipients we’re honouring today are proof of that.
“They exemplify the notion when we use our voices, change really can happen. “I am reminded of the profound belief my mother held in the transformative power of young people. She recognised their unique ability to challenge the status quo and push for a more inclusive and compassionate society. Her legacy continues to inspire and serve as an example of how to navigate the complexities of our world today.

And whether it’s climate change, mental well-being, or systemic injustices, the obstacles can sometimes seem overwhelming. But what gives me hope is the collective power we possess when we work together – the strength in diversity of voices and perspectives that encompass it.”

Before their feud began, the brothers met and attended the event together. Earlier today it was claimed Prince William was "envious" of his brother Harry while they grew up, with the being incredibly popular. Former royal bodyguard Ken Wharfe has recently spoken out about his time working with the brothers when they were just kids, with him working for the Royal Family from 1986 until 1993.
He said: “It was a very happy union. It was a very happy family. Harry was always the joker, the entertainer. I suppose it would be quite common for the sort of sibling rivalry that was, for the eldest William to be slightly nervous or envious of Harry because he was so popular."
