Source unpacks why Prince Harry reportedly won’t change his Princess Diana tribute plans
As per a Closer report, Prince Harry visited Althorp during his recent UK trip. The estate is still owned by Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer. It is also where Diana was buried after her 1997 death.
An insider claimed, “Harry apparently took some discreet photos and video footage.” The source said this happened while he was “paying his own private respects.” The insider added that Harry also met the ground staff.
Meanwhile, the report said the duke personally thanked those workers at Althorp. The insider claimed he thanked them for “lovingly maintaining his mother’s final resting place.” The detail placed the visit inside a private family tribute, not only a public project.
Still, the source acknowledged the possibility of backlash if the footage surfaced later. The insider said, “Harry’s aware that people will criticize him.” The source added that criticism could focus on the use of footage in “a documentary or tribute.”
However, the same source claimed the backlash would not change the tribute plan. The insider said Harry’s “conscience is clear.” The source added he was “past the point” of being affected by judgments.
According to the report, the duke believed Diana would “trust him to make his own decisions.” The insider also said he felt future generations should know “what she stood for.” The source described that legacy as “decency, compassion and sheer selflessness.” For Prince Harry, the reported view was simple. If critics objected, it was “water off a duck’s back.”
