Prince William ‘was very unhappy’ Meghan Markle, Prince Harry 'used Princess Diana's imagery,' source alleges

EXCLUSIVE: Prince William was allegedly disappointed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle featured Princess Diana’s image on the homepage of their non-profit organization Archewell.

In late 2020, the Duke of Sussex described himself as his "mother’s son" on the website and included a sweet photo of the young prince perched on his mother’s shoulders. Another photo featured the expecting Duchess of Sussex as a girl with her mother, Doria Ragland.

In "A Letter for 2021," the couple wrote: "I am my mother’s son. And I am our son’s mother. Together we bring you Archewell."

"We believe in the best of humanity," the statement continued. "Because we have seen the best of humanity. We have experienced compassion and kindness. From our mothers and strangers alike."

Nick Bullen, co-founder and editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV, told Fox News the Duke of Cambridge was allegedly displeased that his younger brother featured their late mother’s image to promote Archewell.

The award-winning documentary filmmaker has been making programs about the British royal family for nearly 20 years and has worked closely with Prince Charles for eight.

"I think that both William and Harry feel they are carrying on the unfinished work of their mother, but I’m told that William was very unhappy that Harry and Meghan used Diana’s imagery to promote their work when Harry claimed to be ‘his mother’s son’ on their website," he explained.

"Harry knows the power that the Diana legacy carries in America and he’s definitely utilizing that, but it’s something he needs to be careful about," said Bullen. "He doesn’t own the legacy; he shares it with his brother."

In their statement, the couple announced that the foundation, which will "unleash the power of compassion to drive systemic cultural change," is partnering with five different organizations.

Now, in an upcoming sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, Harry, 36, invoked the memory of Diana once more. He noted how the Princess of Wales had to find her way alone after she and Charles divorced.

"I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago," said Harry, adding, "because it’s been unbelievably tough for the two of us."

"But at least we have each other," said Harry in a clip from the interview special, which also showed Diana holding toddler Harry as he made the comments.

Diana passed away in 1997 at age 36 of injuries suffered in a car crash.

On Feb. 15, CBS announced Harry and Markle, 39, will be interviewed by Winfrey, 67.

The sit-down, titled "Oprah With Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special, will air on Sunday, March 7. The special will also be the couple’s first sit-down since their engagement.

"Oprah Winfrey as she sits down with Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, for an intimate conversation for an exclusive primetime special," the press release stated.

"Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure," it continued.

"Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family."

The announcement came just a day after the royal couple revealed on Valentine's D... (Read more)
