On Thursday, July 1, a statue of Princess Diana will be unveiled in the gardens of Kensington Palace on the occasion of her late 60th birthday. This will be done during an informal ceremony attended by Diana and William Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton’s former personal secretary, Julia Samuel, one of Diana’s closest friends, and the closest members of Diana’s family, in addition to Diana’s two sons and members of the sculpture committee.

No matter how big the disputes between the brothers, he won’t know at the ceremony, according to the Telegraph. “They both know very well that it is not about them, but about the reminder of the late princess,” said a source from Buckingham Palace. The unveiling of the statue will not be attended by Duchess Meghan, who is caring for her recently born daughter Lilibet, or, somewhat surprisingly, Duchess Kate.

Anti-drug measures appear to be still to blame, for which the original number of 100 participants has been reduced to a minimum. Duchess Kate will visit the statue with William and their children shortly before the ceremony.

However, Kate is still considered a mediator between the disputing brothers and is to contribute to their reconciliation. Shortly after the ceremony, the brothers talk privately, writes the Daily Telegraph. It is not clear what the meeting will look like.

The result is also not clear. According to Robert Lacey, the royal biographer and author of a book describing the conflict between Harry and William called Battle of Brothers, Harry is ready to admit his mistakes in order to reconcile. However, William does not intend to step back from his position.

“On the one hand, we have William, who doesn’t seem ready to admit mistakes, and on the other, Harry, whom his friends have told me he wouldn’t mind reconciling. But there it is Meghan who insists, “Lacey told Newsweek magazine. The following weeks will show whether this stalemate will be resolved and the freezing cold relations of the two royal siblings will warm.

Prince William was particularly upset by Prince Harry and the Duchess Meghan’s decision to leave the royal family. The two princes did not speak to each other for a long time, and even now their communication is limited to what is necessary. The relationship between the brothers is also to blame for the relationship of their wives. While the brothers stopped talking, Meghan and Kate never actually started talking, according to Scobie. That’s what Omid Scobie, author of a book about the fate of Harry and Meghan, claims.
