Will Lilibet Diana be the Band-Aid baby that heals the Royal rift?
Before she is even a month old, Lilibet could yet prove herself to be a Band-Aid baby  a sticking plaster in Royal form to return the family to some form of normality after the turbulent year and a half since Megxit sparked several rounds of very public  and occasionally painful  soul-baring. Prince Harry wasnt always so outspoken about such matters. He was only 12 when his mother died, and for years afterwards kept his feelings of loss to himself. While Prince William once said he didnt want the tragedy of his mothers death to break him (instead, he wanted it to make him), Harry has often looked unhappy and resentful, as if he cant move on. I told myself: Its only going to make you sad. Its not going to bring her back.  He reluctantly sought therapy, and is now no longer embarrassed by his need  even allowing himself to be filmed during a specialist therapy session for The Me You Cant See, his mental health documentary series on Apple TV with Oprah Winfrey. He told me when we chatted at Kensington Palace a while back that he believes his mother is looking down on him and guiding him through his life. He said during his engagement interview on BBC TV that Diana would have been best friends with Meghan and jumped up and down in excitement. During his recent interview with Oprah, he declared: I think she saw [him leaving the Royal family]. I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process.  Now, with a new baby daughter to add to his family, his attitude to life could change, and he might even recover from his genetic pain. I remember Harry telling me he was especially good at cuddles; Lilibet Diana, who provides a positive genetic link to his mother, could be on the receiving end and adore him in return. He might even get over the guilt he still feels over when Diana rang him when he was on holiday at Balmoral with his father the day before she died, and he cut short the conversation because he was having fun playing with his cousins. He has said he can never forgive himself for it.
