Paul Burrell, Princess Diana’s former butler, has claimed that even an award would not bring Prince William and Prince Harry back together.
Speaking to GB News Mr Burrell, 65, said Diana would have been “devastated” to see her two sons as divided as they are.
He said: “It is just another awkward moment for William, who doesn’t want to share any platform, anywhere in the world with his brother.
“He has drawn a line in the sand and decided no more, that is the end of it. But even, an award, cannot bring these two boys back together. And if that can’t, their mother’s legacy can’t, then nothing can.”
Mr Burrell also commented on speculation about the health of Kate, Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery earlier this year.
Mr Burrell said that questions and theories had been propelled by conspiracy theorists online and said there was no crisis.
He explained: “It’s not a crisis for the Royal Family really because Kate and William know the truth.”
He added: “What they didn’t think was that photoshopping it to a certain extent would fuel conspiracy theories. The truth is much simpler, Kate is recovering from a serious operation.
“She needs time and she is with her family. She is a wife and a mother and she has a right to privacy. Let’s give her some space and time to get better.”
Speculation about whether Prince William and Prince Harry will repair their relationship has been rife since the latter released their memoir last year.
Ken Wharfe, a former royal bodyguard, has also spoken about what Prince Harry and Prince William were like to work with when the pair were children. He told the Sun: “It was a very happy union. It was a very happy family.
“What I will say is Diana and her husband [the then-Prince Charles] at that time were going through a very difficult period of their life.
“But both of them didn’t want their situation to be known by the children. They had a blissful happy life at that point.”
