Kate Middleton “will be with William and Harry to inaugurate the statue of Lady Diana”

There should also be Kate Middleton next July 1st for the inauguration of the statue dedicated to Lady Diana. The indiscretion comes from Daily Mirror, which cites sources of the Palace, even if for the moment neither confirmations nor denials have arrived from Kensington Palace: there is absolute secrecy on the program of the day that will see William and Harry in memory of his mother, who died in 1997 in Paris, and who in 2021 would have turned 60.

If the indiscretion were confirmed, the three would meet again for the first time after the funeral of Prince Philip, when they had conversed amicably and the Duchess of Cambridge had been the protagonist of a truly royal gesture: while walking between the two brothers, a at a certain point he had slowed his pace, finally leaving them alone, side by side.

A scene that had quickly made the rounds of the web, rewinding the tape back a few years, when the three seemed closer than ever and lived together in Kensington, albeit in different apartments. Times of tight public commitments, declarations of mutual affection, future disagreements not even remotely imaginable. Because Harry and William have always been profoundly different in character, inclinations, future aspirations, but the bond, made stronger by the death of their mother, no one had ever questioned. And then Kate had come to make them team.

To make her happy, eleven years ago, Harry had exchanged his mother’s engagement sapphire, which he kept as a treasure, for a watch, inherited from his brother, and had welcomed her into the family with open arms. “She’s the older sister I’ve never had,” declared the prince in 2017, before that Meghan Markle came into his life. Today Middleton’s role is above all that of mediator between him and his older brother, and the next reunion could really mark a turning point.

Harry is about to return to the UK. Five days of quarantine await him before he can see the rest of the family. Not all, perhaps, is really lost.
