Prince Harry is reportedly quite dissatisfied with his older brother's sluggishness. Prince William could have done much more in an important family matter, but according to the aristocrat, he was not determined enough. The contentious issue turned out to be Princess Diana's family estate.

Foreign gossip portals are writing about Prince Harry's grievances against his brother. These have arisen from the latest news that their mother's luxurious mansion, where she spent her childhood, may not fall into their hands. This is the place where Princess Diana is buried.

According to Meghan Markle's husband, Prince William did not do enough to ensure the acquisition of the estate, which holds symbolic significance for both princes. For Harry, the loss of unlimited access to his mother's grave is said to be a crushing blow.

He believes that what has happened may negatively impact the commemoration of Princess Diana's memory. British media are less emotional about the issue. They remind readers that the Althorp Estate has belonged to the Spencer family for over 500 years.

Although the sons of the Queen of Hearts and King Charles III expect to inherit these lands, they are most likely to be taken over by Louis Spencer, the son of the brother of the late Princess, who died in 1997. Currently, Earl Charles Spencer takes care of the entire estate.

The Althorp Estate comprises as many as 90 rooms, with a total area of over 97,000 sq. ft. Some of them contain valuable artifacts, including a portrait gallery. A lake is located nearby.

There is still a long way to go for reconciliation between Harry and William

According to experts, Prince Harry's grievances may further cool his tense relations with the heir to the throne. The brothers have been avoiding each other for some time.

Charles III has noticed this problem and is urging his younger son to consider moving back to the United Kingdom and purchasing the property offered to him.

If this happens, the relationship with his brother could improve, but for now, nothing suggests it. What do you think, should Princess Diana's estate remain with the Spencers or the Windsors?
