Prince William Turns to Princess Diana’s Former Divorce Lawyers—Here’s Why
Prince William hires Diana’s divorce lawyers
In addition to drawing attention, the Prince of Wales’ audacious move conveyed a clear statement about his future.
IN LONDON
Prince William has once again deviated significantly from royal custom by using the divorce attorneys who represented his late mother.
The Daily Mail claims that the 42-year-old Prince of Wales’ decision to leave King Charles’ legal staff is a daring step in the direction of his goal to forge his own path, which he has expressed in recent years.
According to The Sun, the late Princess Diana had a close relationship with her attorney, Lord Mischon, who owned the Mischon de Reya company. Anthony Julius, the deputy chairman, defended her during her highly public divorce from Prince Charles in 1996.
According to reports, Diana even wrote Lord Mischon a letter expressing her fear that she would be killed in a fictitious vehicle accident. He subsequently forwarded this information to the Metropolitan Police.
“Efforts would be made if not to get rid of her by some accident in her car, such as a pre-prepared brake failure, at least to see that she was so injured or damaged as to be declared unbalanced [in her mind]” she wrote in the document regarding her fear.
Diana and Dodi Fayed sadly perished in a vehicle accident in Paris just two years later.
After over thirty years, her son has now hired her attorneys, terminating his long-standing association with Charles’ go-to legal firm for many years, Harbottle & Lewis.
“William desired to go it alone,” a source told the Mail.
He didn’t want to keep working with his father’s attorneys. That is all there is to it. He aspires to independence. William wants to be perceived as doing things differently than his father and wants to do things differently himself.
Kensington Palace has refrained from commenting.
This is merely the most recent indication of William’s resolve to deviate from the norm in his royal career.
In recent years, he and Kate have both revealed a more open side of themselves than their predecessors, especially in relation to the Princess of Wales’ cancer fight.
William told reporters in Cape Town that it had been “the hardest year” of his life shortly after Kate announced in a heartfelt video message that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment.
Additionally, he clarified that he wished to carry on his forebears’ work in a manner that was “differentiated” for his generation.
“I’m trying to do it differently and for my generation, and that’s all I can say about what I’m trying to achieve.
And if you want, I’m doing it with a smaller ‘r’ in the royal to help you comprehend it better. Perhaps it is a more appropriate way to put things.
Therefore, impact philanthropy, teamwork, gatherings, and assisting others are more important.
Additionally, since I genuinely care about what I do, I’m going to add empathy. It has an effect on people’s life. Additionally, I believe that more compassionate leadership is needed everywhere.
That’s what I’m attempting to provide, then. Catherine is also attempting to bring that.
