Princess Diana Comforted Prince William, Harry Visited Brother After This Shocking Accident

Princess Diana and Prince Harry were always there for Prince William when the Duke of Cambridge was younger.

The late Princess of Wales was very close to her two sons. Following her unexpected death, Prince William and Prince Harry became even closer to each other.

A throwback photo of Princess Diana comforting Prince William has been shared on Instagram. The mother and son are inside a vehicle. Princess Diana holds Prince William’s hand in the snap.

Based on the caption, the photo was taken on June 5, 1991 after Prince William was released from the hospital. The Duke of Cambridge spent a night in a private room at the hospital after his playmate accidentally hit him in the forehead with a golf club at school.

Prince William got injured during his lunch break at Ludgrove school in Wokingham, west of London. He was with his friends on the school putting green when he got hurt.

“No one was being nasty or unkind to Prince William. He is a very much liked boy here at the school,” a spokeswoman at the school said.

Prince William was immediately rushed to the Royal Berkshire Hospital. He was later transferred to the London hospital.

In the morning, Prince Harry, who was only 6 years old at the time, was Prince William’s first visitor. The little Duke of Sussex reportedly spent 15 minutes with his brother before going to school. Prince William was “chatting away” during the visit according to the palace spokesman.

Prince William and Prince Harry maintained their friendship until the latter married Meghan Markle. Before the former “Suits” star joined the royal family, Prince Harry was like a third wheel to Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The three royals were very close and were inseparable. They showed up at various engagements together, prompting royal fans to dub them “the royal trio.” Some hoped that they would become “the fab four” with Markle but instead, Prince William and Prince Harry decided to have split households.

According to Richard Palmer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex got no support from the royal family. He claimed that Prince William “dropped his brother like a ton of hot bricks.” Prince William and Prince Charles have also distanced themselves from Prince Harry.
