Prince william and prince harry's appearances at diana awards lacked one thing

Prince William and Prince Harry both spoke at The Diana Legacy Awards ceremony, which took place last night, but in two very different ways, and it stood out to one royal expert. William was

the guest of honour, appearing in-person, while Harry waited for his turn to speak, and delivered his speech via video message, _after_ William left the stage, it’s being reported. Daily

Express US spoke to Pauline Maclaran, professor at Royal Holloway, who said: “Most commentators seem to feel that it was a pity that the brothers couldn’t show more unity on this event in

honour of their mother’s memory.” She adds: “However I think the main takeaway is that their conflict is still so bad that they couldn’t reconcile even for this important occasion.” Maclaran

believes William’s speech was the better of the two, but that’s because Harry’s was digital and that “was rather against him.” READ MORE: PRIVACY IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD WHEN IT COMES TO

THE MONARCHY, SAYS EXPERT Harry lives in Montecito, California, with his wife and two children, which may have played a role in his decision to deliver the speech remotely, but it’s yet to

be confirmed. It appears the speeches were spaced out in away to avoid overlap with Maclaran saying: “Obviously, given the state of their relationship, this was the best way to keep the

brothers separated but each in attendance.” Daily Express US spoke exclusively to Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth, who confirms there may have been a stipulation, saying: “From what I

hear, William and Harry were absolutely insistent that they needed to make their contributions to the event when the other was not there, either virtually or physically.” DON’T MISS: Fans

Queen Camilla had King's blessing to jet off on break, says royal expert [ANALYSIS] Leading up to the event, royal writer Richard Eden shared his thoughts on the ceremony, saying, “This

is really unusual, we don’t see Harry and William at many events together, sort of speak,” referring to them appearing at different times. According to Eden, The Diana Award, which is in

its 25 year, “is trying to continue the legacy of their mother, so it’s something they care about a lot.” “Prince Harry no longer lives in the UK but remains committed to the Diana awards

and this is probably the most convenient solution while saving the Sussexes a significant amount of time and money,” says Kinsey Schofield, creator and host of To Di For Daily podcast.
