At 38 years of age, Prince William is second only to his father in the order of succession to the British throne. Although Kate Middleton’s husband will one day become king, Lady Diana’s former butler assures us that she behaved in exactly the same way with her two sons.
On August 31, 1997, Lady Diana lost her life in a car accident at the age of 36. At that time, Prince William was 15 years old and Prince Harry was only 12. If Prince Charles’ wife was not able to see her sons grow up, it was on a television show that her former butler, Paul Burrell, revealed how she behaved with her sons: “She always thought about her boys.
Her boys were the center of her world, they were her life, nothing came before her children.” While the host of the show wondered what Lady Diana would have thought about the tensions between Princes William and Harry, Paul Burrell confided: “You know that there is a void between William and Harry and that this void should be filled by their mother. She would be the one to bring them back together again and she would probably bang her head and say, ‘Come on, don’t be so ridiculous and let’s move on.
Lady Diana’s former butler is certain that the pretty blonde would never have taken sides with any of her sons: “She always treated her boys the same, they were exactly the same. She knew that one day one would be king and another would not.
But wherever she went with the children, they were both the same. They were both her boys and she would want them to stand side by side.” When the two brothers no longer got along, Paul Burrell added: “Ironically, she will be the one who will bring them together again because July 1st of next year would have been Diana’s 60th birthday.
And the boys will stand side by side and unveil a statue in her memory in the gardens of Kensington Palace. So the boys will be reunited again by their mother and I hope that from there we can see the end of this fight that they had.”
Will Prince Harry be back in England soon?
Paul Burrell then went further, revealing that what had happened to Prince Harry happened to many people and that marrying a strong and independent woman had led him on a different path: “He married this woman who has her own ideas. He’s so adored by her, he’s totally in love with her so she can’t do anything wrong.”
And then he said, “So now he’s following her. It won’t always be that way, because I personally can’t see Harry happy in Los Angeles. All his friends, family and culture are here in England. He won’t put up with this forever.”
