Despite their strained relationship and lives on different continents, Prince Harry and Prince William remain connected through their shared commitment to instilling Princess Diana’s values in their children.
On the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast, royal experts discussed how the brothers are unintentionally honoring their late mother, Princess Diana, by ensuring their children are aware of social issues—just as she did with them.
According to Hello! Magazine, royal expert Emily Nash recalled a recent comment Prince Harry made about discussing Diana’s work with landmines with his son, Archie. “Harry was asked about how to communicate to children about amputees and veterans… he said that had led to an extraordinary conversation with Archie about Princess Diana,” Nash shared.
She continued, “He’d obviously been talking about people losing limbs, and they got onto the topic of landmines and the work that she did about that – and Archie was asking to see photographs and footage, so it’s interesting how it’s come full circle.”
This powerful moment, Nash pointed out, mirrors a similar revelation from Prince William, who has spoken about his efforts to help his children understand important societal issues.
“It reminds me of Prince William and the conversations he says he’s had with the children,” Nash noted. “The one that sticks in my mind is when they passed a homeless person, and he asked them, ‘Why do you think that person is there?’ – and had that conversation with his children.”
Despite their ongoing royal rift, Nash suggested that both Harry and William have continued their mother’s legacy in the same way, even if unintentionally.
“They’re on different continents, but it’s clearly something that has been drilled into them growing up, that it’s so important to have their children aware,” Nash explained. “They’re both honoring their mother in a really similar way.”
While tensions between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex remain unresolved, their commitment to raising socially conscious children is a reflection of Princess Diana’s lasting influence—a bond that, no matter the distance, continues to connect them.
