Overview

• Patrick Jephson, Diana’s former private secretary, told People that she left her sons examples and warnings, stressing that public affection and royal privileges must be earned through self‑sacrifice and service.
• Royal biographer Andrew Morton said Diana saw the younger son supporting the elder as future king and suggested she would have worked to reconcile William and Harry.
• Vanity Fair describes two distinct family circles taking shape, with William aligned with King Charles III and the Windsors and Harry centered on his life with Meghan.
• Coverage notes both princes continue strands of Diana’s charitable legacy, with William prioritizing homelessness initiatives and Harry championing action on landmines.
• Separate reports state the Spencer tradition of male primogeniture would see Althorp pass to Louis Spencer rather than Diana’s sons, though this has been presented as inheritance practice rather than a new decision.
