Prince Harry “absolutely” plans to join his brother, Prince William, at an upcoming tribute event for Princess Diana — but palace insiders wonder how the Duke of Sussex will “face his family” in the wake of his latest incendiary comments.
Harry and William, whose relationship has been strained since Megxit, are due to reunite for the unveiling of a statue in honor of their late mother at Kensington Palace in London on July 1, which would have been Diana’s 60th birthday.
“No one is going to tell Harry not to come, but how does he face his family?” a palace source told Page Six after Harry, 36, accused his father, Prince Charles, in a recent interview of passing on his “pain and suffering.”
“Harry’s still coming, we’re told, but how will it all go down?” the source wondered. “Will he just turn up on the day without having seen them beforehand?”
Another source familiar with the royal family added: “Things between Harry and William have been terrible since Megxit, then Harry and Meghan [Markle] gave that nuclear Oprah [Winfrey] interview, and now Harry has spoken out again. It’s just one thing after the other.”
We’re told that the status of the event depends on the timing of the arrival of Harry and Meghan’s daughter, who is due imminently.
