A Palace Confidential podcast discusses the late Princess Diana and her relationship and love for her two sons.
A “trapped” Princess Diana would have been “hugely jealous” that Prince Harry was able to step away from royal life, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking in the Daily Mail Palace Confidential podcast, Richard Kay, editor-at-large explained: “You’ve got to remember, Diana was a radical, she was very unhappy, she was trapped within the royal system, she did try and break away, she couldn’t quite before her death.”
Discussing the difficulties of how the late Princess Diana would have viewed the two princes’ current feud, Jo Elvin, Richard said: “‘I think she would’ve been fiercely proud of the fact that Harry has chosen a life outside of the royal circle.”
The tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales occurred on August 31, 1997, following injuries sustained in a car crash in Paris, which also killed her companion Dodi Fayed.
Royal expert says Diana’s love for her sons was “clear to the whole world”
The royal expert described Diana’s love for her two sons as “clear to the whole world” and that she may have been upset about the current feud between the two brothers. Richard said: “What I knew about Diana was, first and above all, was her love for her sons, that was clear to the whole world, she loved those boys. I think she would’ve been broken-hearted.”
Since Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, their relationship with King Charles, Prince William and the Royal Family has deteriorated, following a string of high-profile interviews where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed intimate details about their private life within the Firm.
Questioning if the brothers would have still fallen out if the late Diana was in their lives, Richard said: “My own view is that it probably wouldn’t have because she would’ve remained the pivotal figure in both their lives and prevented the fallout from happening.”

It is also believed the trigger that caused the rift to first develop between William and Harry was when the then Duke of Cambridge advised his younger sibling to “take things slow” when he first began dating Meghan Markle.
Meanwhile, the royal expert also thinks the late Diana would have been “proud” of Prince William and Kate for stepping into their places as Prince and Princess of Wales.
He said: “‘I think she would’ve been proud of William and Catherine and what a stylish edition they’ve made and how they’ve seamlessly stepped into hers and Charles’ shoes with a young family.”
He also aired his disappointment by sharing his belief with Palace Confidential that Harry and William have been fighting over Diana’s legacy: “[They’ve] been tussling over Diana’s legacy, they’ve been pulling apart Diana’s legacy, [and picking] which part suits them best. I think it’s a great tragedy.”
