EXCLUSIVE: Prince William Planning to Skip Diana Awards, Leaving Door Open for Harry to Claim Diana’s Mantle

William is not going to the Diana Awards next month. Harry looks set to swoop in.

Well, I can now exclusively reveal that Prince William is not planning to attend this year’s Diana Awards, which are being held at a fancy London hotel next month, potentially leaving the path clear for Harry to anoint himself the standard-bearer of his mother’s legacy.
