William refers to Kate as the “creative one” during the photo scandal, while he and Harry maintain their distance at a Princess Diana event.
London — Not even an event honoring the late Princess Diana could bring her estranged sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, back together this week. At the 25th annual Diana Legacy Awards, honoring young global change makers in London, the two brothers clearly kept their distance Thursday night — in both time, appearing hours apart, and in place, as they were half a world away from each other.

William explained to the kids at the charity center that his wife is the creative one.
Those words, and their timing, raised eyebrows and drew some ridicule coming just days after major global news agencies issued rare “kill” orders to take the princess’ photo off their servers due to the digital doctoring. The global news director of France’s AFP news agency said Kensington Palace was no longer a trusted news source, going so far as to compare Kate’s photo to media presented by North Korea’s state-run media outlets.
Kate was last seen in public on Christmas Day. She underwent abdominal surgery in mid-January, but the details have not been disclosed.
Kensington Palace stated at that time and has consistently emphasized that she will not resume her official duties until after Easter.
