Princes William and Harry could be brought together for the first time in years at a ‘significant’ royal event being planned to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana next year.
The event, which would pay tribute to the enduring legacy of their late mother three decades after her death in a Paris underpass, is being masterminded by The Diana Award, a charity set up in her honour.
Both William and Harry are patrons of the charity – the last remaining patronage the estranged brothers share – and, while they have been carrying out appearances separately on the charity’s behalf in recent years, it is understood both will be invited.
Sources say the charity plans to mark the milestone anniversary with a programme of events in 2027, the highlight of which is set to be a glittering black-tie gala.
This is likely to coincide with the Sussexes’ trip to Birmingham next summer for the Invictus Games.
And if both brothers attend, it would be their first joint appearance in public since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
The Diana Award, which celebrates young people who make a difference to the lives of others, is a crucial organisation for the princes, as it has played a key role in keeping their mother’s memory alive.
In recent years William and Harry have taken turns to participate in events, and a source at the charity said staff were careful to ensure an ‘equal balance’ of occasions involving each brother.
Both would wish to take part in any significant events honouring their late mother.
In 2017, to commemorate 20 years since Diana’s death, they made a joint appearance at a high-profile Diana Award event at St James’s Palace.
