Prince William Thinks Princess Diana Made Major Mistake; Is Harry Repeating Her Misstep?

Prince William and Prince Harry are the late Princess Diana’s only children, but they see their mother very differently. ITV reporter Tom Bradby revealed that they have “parallel narratives” when it comes to their history.

“The real issue here isn’t so much interpersonal relationships,” Bradby, who conducted the “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey” interviews, told ABC News/ “Good Morning America.” “The real difficulty is they just almost have two entirely parallel narratives about a whole bunch of stuff, one of which actually is about their mother’s death.”

Diana died in a car accident in 1997. She was being chased by paparazzi at the time, but ultimately, driver Henri Paul was found solely responsible for her death since he was driving while intoxicated. Paul also died in the crash.

William and Harry have different views on how the press played a part in her death. Mainly, William thinks it was a mistake for his mother to give the press so much access.

“Harry feels quite simply that the press killed his mother and is now in danger of trying to damage his wife,” Bradby explained. “William has a more nuanced view of that. And he thinks, yes, their mother did have a very hard time, but also that she made a mistake in allowing the press in. And he just is absolutely adamant that that shouldn’t happen, and he thinks his brother sometimes is too open and sometimes tries to close up, and that doesn’t work. So there’s two completely different narratives on that.”

It’s safe to say William and Kate Middleton won’t be sharing similarly vulnerable interviews any time soon.

While the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge don’t agree on how to handle the press, Harry assured Bradby that reports of their feud were blown way out of proportion.

“We’re certainly on different paths at the moment, but I will always be there for him and, as I know, he will always be there for me,” he says in the documentary. “We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy, but I love him dearly. And, you know, the majority of stuff is created out of nothing.”
