'Promise to be best friends': Princess Diana's last wish for her 2 sons
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Princess Diana once made Prince William and Prince Harry "promise to be best friends". That's according to a former friend of the late Princess.
Simone Simmons, the late princess's trusted psychic and friend, reportedly said that the princes had promised to keep their mother's wishes.
"You must promise me that you will always be each other's best friends. And never let anyone come between you," the Princess is reported to have said.
The boys promise their mother never to let anyone get between them
In an updated edition of royal historian Robert Lacey's book “Battle of Brothers”, Simmons says that Diana told Will and Harry to promise never to let anyone get between them:
Robert Lacey then adds that the boys made the promise to their mother, in spite of the recent rift in their relationship.
’’They high-fived each other and gave their mother a big cuddle. Anybody would have melted at the sight. Then they went out to play soccer,'' says Lacey.
The two brothers will reunite soon
Still not on good terms, it's reported the two princes will reunite at the unveiling of Diana's statue at Kensington Palace on July 1, to mark what would have been her 60th birthday.
