Prince William, Prince Harry to face off in new mission for mum Princess Diana
Prince William and Prince Harry may not be on speaking terms, but the estranged siblings are united by one major cause that they both hold close to their heart.
Previously, the brothers had made a joint effort to honour the legacy of their late mother, Princess Diana. According to a report, the Princes of Wales had come up with the idea to auction off Diana’s famous dresses to support the charities she favoured.
Now, one of the biggest sales to honour the royal fashionista is set in June. It is going to feature around 200 iconic pieces.
Martin Nolan, executive director and co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, revealed to Hello! that there is a possibility that William and Harry would get involved in the event, directly or indirectly.
“I would expect that they are tempted and expect that they do and expect they have representatives who buy on their behalf,” he told the outlet. “And that’s understandable. I would too.”
Martin explained that there are a lot of memories associated to the pieces which would lure the brothers to make bids.
“You see the ski suit and the great photographs of them or the shoes that she wore when she went to the dinosaur exhibition at the Museum of Natural History here,” he shared. “You know, like all of those, they’re memories for them, it’s their mum, she’s the most famous person in the world but of course they would love to own some of these and preserve them for their own memories.”
A source previously revealed to Woman’s Day that Harry “deeply regret[s]” auctioning off 79 of his mother’s gowns with his brother back in 1997. The Duke of Sussex is on a “mission” to reclaim as many Diana’s possessions given his “deep need to feel close to his mum”.
It is uncertain that the brothers would be present at the event in person, but it is possible that they would make a good bid to finally have the precious pieces attached to their mum.
