The unveiling of the statue of Princess Diana, † 36, in the “Sunken Garden” of Kensington Palace has been reported for weeks, with the princess’s sons, Prince Harry, 36, and Prince William, 39, in the focus of the reporting. Now, however, another family member speaks out on the occasion of the event. Diana’s brother Charles Spencer, 57, was also on the very short guest list and attended the ceremony in honor of the 60th birthday of his sister, who died in 1997. The 57-year-old then commented on the event on Twitter.

Earl Spencer posts two pictures on social networks. On the first you can see the recently unveiled statue of Diana, on the second the journalist poses with his sister Jane Fellowes, 64. “Today in Kensington. A good day,” writes Charles Spencer under the photo. In the comments, subscribers congratulate the Earl on her birthday and remember the Princess of Wales. “I love this statue of the beloved and sorely missed Princess Diana,” writes one user, while another adds: “It will not be forgotten”.

Prince William and Prince Harry have been in contact again for days

The British national football team has achieved incredible things. Not only did the players advance to the quarter-finals of the European Championship with their historic 2-0 win against Germany, the victory also led to Princes Harry, 36, and William, 39, speaking to each other again. Since Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, 39, resigned as senior royals in January 2020 and emigrated to America, the two princes are said to have had almost no contact with each other. Today, Thursday (July 1, 2021), the brothers will meet again at the unveiling of the statue of their mother Diana, † 36, for the first time since the funeral of Prince Philip, † 99, in April 2021.

“It’s still not going well between [Harry und William], but allegedly there was an exchange of messages, mostly about football. This is a step in the right direction “, describes a source in relation to the British magazine” Daily Mail “. Even if the rapprochement between Prince Harry and Prince William so far only happened via SMS and presumably only in honor of their mother Diana, they are an important signal to the British people.
