Prince William reappeared this Thursday at a time when the British royal family is in the spotlight. Since the crown announced a few weeks ago that Kate Middleton has undergone surgery for an abdominal ailment, the state of health of the Princess of Wales has been a mystery, and the secrecy regarding this issue has generated a large number of rumors. Furthermore, during the event held in honor of her mother, Lady Di, he also shared a gala with her brother, Enrique, who entered through a video call and made two announcements that clashed with his brother’s speech.

William, the heir to the British throne, reappeared this Thursday at an event dedicated to his mother, Diana of Wales, who died in a traffic accident in 1997, while fleeing paparazzi who were chasing her in Paris. The future king of the United Kingdom attended the 2024 Diana Legacy Awards without his wife, Kate Middleton, as expected. The heir to the British throne gave an emotional speech at the event, held at the Science Museum in the British capital. There he remembered his mother’s legacy and announced that both he and his wife have only tried to continue it.

After his older brother’s speech, Prince Harry reappeared virtually from California, where he has resided since 2020. The Duke of Sussex spoke to the group of winners and later the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex published an edited clip of the conversation, reducing it to its best moments. In the chat, the winners told him they “missed” him in the UK. This comeback came just hours after his wife, Meghan Markle, launched his latest business: luxury lifestyle brand American Riveria Orchard.

Those who sign up for information about Meghan’s new business will be notified with the “products”, which some commentators have suggested is a clear breach of the Sussexes’ agreement not to profit from their royal titles. The Sussexes revealed the winners of their $100,000 NAACP Archewell Foundation Digital Civil Rights Award while William was still speaking and presenting the awards at the gala, something that has not completely convinced the British press.

“In my opinion, the Sussexes don’t do anything by accident,” a Royal Family expert told MailOnline. On the other hand, when William left the event, Enrique began his talk via video link from Montecito, where he told the young winners that he regretted his absence from the venue. “I’m sorry I’m not there. I wish I could be there with you,” he said. On the other hand, he thanked the group for “inspiring so many others” and “protecting my mother’s legacy.”

For his part, Guillermo also gave his own speech. “This afternoon, the Diana Legacy Awards are particularly special to me because they mark the 25th anniversary of the Diana Awards, a charity founded to reflect my mother’s belief that young people can change the world,” the prince began.

The first-born of Charles III and Lady Di recalled how his mother taught him “that everyone who is in need deserves to be given a hand in life.” “That legacy is something that both Kate and I have focused on through our work, as have the 50,000 young people who have received a Diana award over the last 25 years,” he said, visibly proud.

Both brothers have not seen each other since May 2023, at the coronation of Charles III. Between them, the tension has not stopped growing, especially since Meghan Markle’s husband decided to air his family’s dirty laundry through a memoir published in early 2023. However, both put their differences aside for Lady I gave and they shared a gala.
