Earlier this week, Prince William spoke publicly about the new probe in a BBC Panorama interview with Princess Diana, calling the probe a “step in the right direction”. And today Prince Harry has let it be known that he is receiving “regular updates”, but does not need a “statement to imagine how he feels”. ”

A source close to the Duke of Sussex said today: “Harry receives regular updates and is aware of what’s going on. You don’t need a public statement to imagine how he feels in private, people know how much his mother means to him. He has bravely spoken out in the past about loss and grief, and it has had a profound effect on him. ”

It was not immediately clear if William contacted his brother before he could comment on the investigation, which was announced Wednesday evening. When asked if both Kensington Palace and Sussex spokesmen had informed Harry in advance of William’s decision to speak, they declined to comment.

However, a source close to the Duke of Sussex made it clear that Harry was not happy about the stories he was accused of failing to stay with his brother today.

“Unfortunately, some people are not only looking at this as a campaign of truth, but also trying to use this as an opportunity to drive a wedge between the brothers,” the source said. Despite living a very different life, the impression was previously given that princes would unite in public to do anything with their mother.

An independent investigation into the direction in which Martin Bashir got his landmark interview with the late Princess is being conducted by Lord Dyson and will begin soon. Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, said Bashir had used “gross dishonesty” to protect his faith and accused the BBC of “whitewashing” the incident in a letter seen by the Daily Mail.

Prince William’s statement on Wednesday said:

“An independent inquiry is a step in the right direction. The steps taken by the panorama interview and the decisions taken at the BBC at the time should help establish the truth behind the actions behind it. “
