She also expressed her hopes for reconciliation between the brothers, stating: “I also hope this could be an avenue for the brothers to mends some bridges.
“I think there have been mistakes on both sides but at the end of the day family is family and you only get one life, one father, and in their case one brother. There’s nothing like the terrible fear of losing the ones we love to make us realise what we have. It brings a really sharp sense of priorities to the forefront as well.”
Jane added: “It’s a reminder that life is fragile and all too short, and that realisation is sometimes all one needs to give the encouragement to let feuds go.
“I’m sure the princes are both feeling the loss of their Mother especially strongly right now also, and that could also help them to reconnect.”
Yesterday, Buckingham Palace shared that King Charles III is unwell and will take a break from meeting people.
The Palace said: “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
