Prince William and Prince Harry may be disappointed by a recent decision made ahead of King Charles III’s upcoming travels, as it involves a quiet removal of a meaningful tribute to their late mother, Princess Diana.
The King, who was due to travel to the United States with Queen Camilla on Monday, is currently finalizing the details of the visit following a recent security incident at the White House. After the US leg of the trip, Charles is expected to continue on to Bermuda for a three-day tour, while Camilla will return to the UK.
However, a decision made in Bermuda has drawn attention. St Peter’s Church—recognized as the oldest Anglican church outside the UK—recently removed a historic photograph from its display. The image, taken in 1982, showed a young Prince Charles alongside a pregnant Princess Diana.
According to Rev Thomas Nisbett, the decision was made out of sensitivity. “We removed it recently,” he told The Mail. “The ladies of the church thought it would be more appropriate if that reminder of the past wasn’t there. And one doesn’t argue with the ladies of the church.”
While the intention may have been to avoid discomfort, the move could be seen as hurtful to William and Harry, both of whom have consistently worked to honor their mother’s memory and legacy.
The choice is particularly notable given that Queen Camilla will not be present during the Bermuda visit, raising questions about why the change was considered necessary in the first place.
King Charles is expected to arrive in Bermuda on Thursday, directly following his US visit.
