Why Prince William has hired late mom Princess Diana’s divorce lawyers

The prince has enlisted the expertise of the firm’s deputy chairman, Anthony Julius, who served as Diana’s legal representative in her 1996 divorce from Charles.

Diana died in a car crash in Paris alongside her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and driver Henri Paul, just one year later. She was 36.
The heir’s move reportedly stung the law firm’s partner, Gerrard Tyrrell, given that he had looked after William and his family for years and is one of the king’s most trusted advisers.

“William wanted to strike out on his own. He did not want to continue using his father’s lawyers. It’s as simple as that. He wants to be his own man,” a source told the outlet.
