Prince Harry takes action to make up for ‘past mistake’ amid feud with Prince William
Prince Harry appears to be mulling over some past mistakes as the Duke of Sussex jumps into action to make up for some of the decisions he made.
The Duke of Sussex once shared a close relationship with his elder brother, Prince William, but that relationship was torn apart after Harry had left the royal family in 2020 to settle in the US.
The siblings, who were determined to keep the memory of their late mother alive with big charitable moves, are not even on speaking terms. Both the princes have been making efforts to continue Diana’s legacy but Harry feels there is one major mistake that they made.
Harry “deeply regret[s]” auctioning off 79 of his mother’s gowns with brother Prince William back in 1997, according to an insider quoted by Woman’s Day.
According to the report, Harry was left fuming when he found out about the latest auction which is supposed to feature more than 200 iconic pieces of Princess Diana.
Conducted by Julien’s Auctions, the auction will take place on June 26 in Beverly Hills, US, with a portion of proceeds going to charity.
The source stated that ever since he left the royal life behind, he had developed a “deep need to feel close to his mum” which is why he no longer wants to give away anything associated to her.
Moreover, Harry has jumped into action as he is on a “mission” to reclaim Diana’s possessions and his wife Meghan Markle is “encouraging it”.
“He can now see they’re vital threads of his mother’s enduring legacy,” the insider said.
The report comes on the heels of news that Harry was considering to assume his mother’s family name ‘Spencer’ and drop ‘Mountbatten-Windsor’ amid the growing royal rift. According to Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, Harry’s uncle, Charles Spencer, had stopped his nephew from taking such a drastic step citing “legal hurdles”.
However, it is understood that he was trying to calm the waters before Harry did something that he can never come back from, especially concerning his relationship with brother William and father King Charles.
