King Charles backs Diana memorial in 2027 to reunite princes William and Harry
A thanksgiving service in 2027 marking 30 years since Princess Diana's death is being considered as a way to bring her estranged sons together.
King Charles is reportedly backing plans for a thanksgiving service in 2027 honouring Princess Diana, which could provide a rare opportunity for princes William and Harry to reunite. The event would mark three decades since Diana's death in Paris in August 1997.
The King has raised no objection to the service, which could see both brothers participate, with William potentially giving a reading in honour of his mother. A similar service was held in 2007 to mark the 10th anniversary of her death.
The princes last appeared together publicly in 2024 at a family funeral, though they have not been seen interacting. Harry is separately considering a documentary about Diana through his Archewell Productions company to coincide with the anniversary.
