Jennie Bond: Diana would be distraught at Princes’ feud.
PRINCESS Diana would be “distraught” at the state of the relationship between William and Harry, Jennie Bond has claimed.
Royal Expert Jennie said she also believes Diana – who died 25 years ago – would have “sorted out” the feuding siblings’.
Speaking to GB News Weekend Breakfast, Ms Bond, a former BBC Royal correspondent, said: “I think she’d be distraught that the boys are still feuding. But I think somehow she’d have got them together and just sorted it all out.
“Harry is “the Spencer” of the two of them. He is fiery, vulnerable, fragile. Very much in the way Diana was. He is complex like Diana was. Likable. Loveable. It is difficult. He’s forging his own way much like his mother did. He is the troubled one of the two.
Commenting on the legacy of the late Princess she added: “Her legacy has continued. When we see William and Harry out doing their very different things they remind me so much of her light and her work and I think that’s one reason why her light burns so brightly still.”
Ms Bond’s comments as the anniversary approaches of Diana’s death.
Yesterday a car driven by Diana in the 1980s sold for 650,000 pounds ($764,000) at auction.
Silverstone Auctions said there was “fierce bidding” for the black Ford Escort RS Turbo before the sale closed. The U.K. buyer, whose name was not disclosed, paid a 12.5% buyer’s premium on top of the selling price, according to the classic car auction house.
Britain and Diana’s admirers worldwide are preparing to mark a quarter century since her death. She died in a high-speed car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997.
Diana drove the Escort from 1985 to 1988. She was photographed with it outside boutique shops in Chelsea and restaurants in Kensington. She preferred to drive her own car, with a member of her security team in the passenger seat.
The RS Turbo Series 1 was typically manufactured in white, but she got it in black to be more discreet. Ford also added features for her security, such as a second rear-view mirror for the protection officer.
The car has just under 25,000 miles on it.
Last year, another Ford Escort that Diana used sold at auction for 52,000 pounds ($61,100).
