KEY POINTS

  • The unveiling of Princess Diana's statue was poignant because it was an intimate family occasion
  • The late Princess of Wales would have been delighted to see her sons together at the event
  • The event was gentle and intimate and felt like a release, according to an insider

Princess Diana would have been happy if she saw her two sons Prince William and Prince Harry when they reunited at the unveiling of her statue, according to her former astrologer, Debbie Frank.

The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex reunited to unveil the statue of their late mom that they commissioned in 2017 on what would have been her 60th birthday. Prince Harry and Prince William put aside their differences and put on a united front to make the event all about their mom.

The event was "gentle and intimate" and it "felt like a release," an unnamed insider told People. Aside from the royal siblings, the late Princess of Wales' sisters and a brother were present to honor her.

"It was beautiful and poignant because it was an intimate family occasion," the source added.

Meanwhile, Princess Diana would have been proud of the two princes' efforts, according to her former astrologer.

"If she were looking down, she would be smiling and so delighted to have brought her sons closer together again," Frank added.

Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana's iconic wedding dress for her 1981 royal wedding, was also in attendance. She praised the event and how it reminded them of the late royal.

"You have to look at what [this moment] represents. It is about her spirit and her kindness. For people visiting, it will be lovely, a wonderful thing to see. And peaceful," Emanuel said.

Prince William and Prince Harry, who are rumored to be feuding, decided to not making separate speeches. Instead, they released a joint statement to honor their mom.

"Today, on what would have been our Mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better," they wrote.

"Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy."

Princess Diana's former voice coach Stewart Pearce said there was no tension between Prince William and Prince Harry at the event.

However, royal biographer Katie Nicholl, author of "Harry: Life, Loss, and Love," noted that it would take more than Prince Philip's funeral and Princess Diana's statue unveiling for the siblings to reconcile. The Duke of Cambridge is allegedly still very bitter and hurt over what Prince Harry said in his and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey about the royal family.
