A subtle yet poignant tribute to the Duke of Sussex and Princess Diana has captured the attention of royal enthusiasts, as revealed in prints of Wales’ London residence at Kensington Palace.
The homage, discovered in a previously lost behind-the-scenes film documenting the King’s coronation, has gained significant popularity on the video-sharing platform TikTok.
Following the release of Harry’s biography “Spare” in 2023, shedding light on various aspects of the Prince of Wales, fans have been intrigued by the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and Prince of Wales, making the tribute all the more meaningful.
In a candid revelation, the Prince disclosed that his bond with his brother was not as close as perceived by the public or the palace.
He delved into a rift that culminated in a heated altercation in 2019 concerning the treatment of palace staff by the Duchess of Sussex.
Despite familial conflicts, social media users have highlighted that the Prince of Wales continues to hold onto a cherished memento of his brother Spare at his London abode, even months after its publication.
The month of May witnessed the unveiling of a short film from Kensington Palace offering a glimpse behind the scenes of the King’s coronation weekend.
The film portrayed the Wales family, featuring Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and the Princess of Wales, preparing for the ceremonial event.
A clip from this film surfaced on TikTok on March 3, shared by user d-a-n-i-d-e-e-e-e-e1, showcasing the Prince of Wales, Princess of Wales, Charlotte, and Louis adorned in regal attire at Kensington Palace, their residence since 2013.
The coronation footage granted viewers a rare peek into the private quarters of the palace, enabling them to appreciate not only the decor but also the furnishings and keepsakes, including family photographs adorning the space.
Notably, a framed portrait graced one of the reception rooms atop a piano.
The viral video captioned “This photo in the Prince of Wales’ home” featured a black-and-white portrait of Prince of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, and Princess Diana, chosen by Diana for her official 1995 Christmas card, underscoring her affection for the image.
Diana’s sentimental attachment to the portrait was evident, as she kept a replica on her desk.
In a poignant tribute in 2017 marking the 20th anniversary of her passing, a meticulous reconstruction of the portrait was displayed at Buckingham Palace, crafted solely from her personal effects.
The TikTok video showcasing the photo of Harry and Diana in William’s residence has garnered over 120,000 views, along with 6,000 likes and numerous comments, resonating with viewers worldwide.
The King harbors a fervent desire for his two sons to set aside their differences and reconcile, envisioning a return to the harmonious and loving family dynamic that existed before discord arose.
However, achieving such reconciliation amidst current circumstances poses a formidable challenge, considering the myriad issues each individual grapples with.
