Prince Harry and William urged to make amends and end their 'bitter battle'
Prince William and Harry have been urged to make amends for Princess Diana after they made separate appearances in different continents for the only charity set up in her name.
The late Princess of Wales' sons have been begged to end their feud after 'ignoring' each other while celebrating her legacy yesterday.
It would have been Diana’s 62nd birthday, but the princes - now aged 41 and 38 - 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, The Express reports.
Speaking two years ago at the same event, Prince Harry spoke fondly of his brother, while telling reporters: “William and I are recognising mum’s 60th birthday.”

“The best way William and Harry could honour the memory of their mother would be to bury their differences right now.”

More than 180 young people from 31 countries were recognised at the prestigious ceremony in London, for social action and humanitarian efforts.
Prince Harry said: “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 that when we use our voices, change really can happen.”

“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 so many of the numerous challenges that we face disproportionately affect young people and, of course, their futures. 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.”

He told the audience: “The road to making a difference is not always easy, but as we celebrate the impact they have made,
we are reminded that no challenge is insurmountable.
“Today we recognise the power of all young people to inspire meaningful change. To all the award recipients – congratulations. Your accomplishments are a testament to your character, your passion and your determination to make a difference. You are an inspiration to young people everywhere.
“And to everyone watching, these stories remind us why organisations like The Diana Award are so important. It is a reminder that when we invest in young people, provide them with the tools and opportunities to make a difference, they can truly change the world – a belief shared by my mother, and one I am proud to continue in her name.”
