Prince William and Prince Harry Divided by ‘Profound Rift’: Princess Diana ‘Would Have Tried to Act as Peacemaker’ (Exclusive)
Despite the emotional and physical distance between them, William and Harry have each created home lives grounded in a shared commitment to providing their children with a genuinely authentic upbringing — “and that is pure Diana,” says Foreman.
Both brothers have also honored their mother by giving their daughters her name as a middle name. They often speak of her to their children, and her photograph is displayed throughout their homes.
“The values they are instilling and discussing as families may be their best success,” Foreman adds. “They are both very good role models as parents.”
There are glimmers of hope for change within the royal family. On July 9, Harry’s representatives met with King Charles’s head of communications, raising hopes of a first step toward rapprochement — at least with his father.
A face-to-face meeting could happen as soon as September, when Harry is expected back in the U.K. to support WellChild, a charity helping children with life-limiting conditions. Whether that reunion will materialize, however, remains uncertain. If it does, it would be the first meeting between father and son since February 2024, shortly after Charles announced he was diagnosed with cancer.
