William swerved his brother Harry at a memorial event for their late mother last night, fuelling speculation of a rift between the two princes.
The Duke of Cambridge attended the event at the Science Museum in London on Thursday night in person, where he gave a speech to mark the Diana Legacy Award’s 25th anniversary.
He said his mother taught him that “everyone has the potential to give something back”.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, addressed those in the audience via video link after William had left.
He spoke for about half an hour after the ceremony concluded and said: “Thank you very much for inspiring so many others and at the same time protecting my mother’s legacy, I really appreciate that.”
Elsewhere, the Dutch king poked fun at the Princess of Wales’s photo-editing row.
King Willem-Alexander was greeting members of the public in Zutphen when a little girl made a reference to a photograph of his whole family. “Really? At least I didn’t Photoshop it,” he said.
Earlier this week several major picture agencies pulled the first official photograph of Kate after her surgery amid concerns that it could have been manipulated.
The princess later apologised, saying: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.”
40% of public doesn’t back Harry return to royal family
Some 40 per cent of the public don’t want Prince Harry to return to the Royal Family, according to a poll.
The Ipsos survey, for the Evening Standard, also found that the Duke of Sussex is being blamed for the rift with his brother William.
Meanwhile, 55 per cent of the public thinks the royal family is divided.
