Throughout September and October, Prince Harry has been traveling from New York to London to Lesotho in a dizzying array of activities for the causes closest to his heart. During one of his recent charity visits, a royal expert shared her thoughts on what Princess Diana thinks about her son's new life.

Jenny Bond, the BBC's royal correspondent for 14 years, told “OK!” that she thinks the late princess would have been in favor of the Duke of Sussex making his own way out of Britain to start a new life in Montecito, California in 2020.

“I'm sure Princess Diana would have been very supportive of Harry's choice,” she told the magazine.

“I think she would have been very proud of him for having the courage to leave a life that was so unhappy.”

The late Princess of Wales herself was certainly not a stickler for royal convention, and Bond added that Diana “would probably have giggled with glee at some of the barbs he hurled at the palace courtiers, the ‘gray men’ who he felt were making his life unhappy.

She added, “I'm sure he would have giggled with delight at some of the barbs he hurled at the courtiers, the ‘gray men’ of the palace.

It was also widely reported that after her divorce from Prince Charles, Diana wanted to make a fresh start in the United States, and her brother, Earl Spencer, even mentioned her desire to leave London in a eulogy he gave at her funeral in 1997.

The prince spoke about his passion at an event for the HALO Trust, a landmine clearance charity that Princess Diana supported until shortly before her death.

“As you know, the work of the HALO Trust in Angola meant a lot to my mother. Continuing my mother's legacy is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously,” the Duke of Sussex said at the event.

Harry has recently spoken out on topics such as online safety, climate change, and mental health, and Bond praised the prince for his “wonderful responses to everyone he meets.”

“I think it showed his family back home that Harry is determined to continue his kind of service without pretending to be a royal,” said a former BBC reporter.

“If he wants to use his platform to do good, we should applaud him.”

Facing criticism for wanting to perform his duties without being active royalty, Bond said he “doesn't think he's trying to turn up his nose” at his appearances.

“I think he's just following his instincts and his mother's example,” she continued. 'It is no coincidence that he has taken up some of the causes that his mother advocated. I think he feels a calling to carry on his mother's work."

The Duke of Sussex is currently visiting Lesotho and South Africa to promote a youth empowerment program run by Sentibale, the charity he co-founded with Prince Siso of Lesotho in 2006. And earlier this week, Harry met with young people facing serious illnesses at the Wellchild Awards in London after visiting New York for UN Climate Week.

Bond said he felt it was “perfectly normal” for Harry and his wife Meghan Markle to “sometimes leave one parent at home and act alone to care for their children.”

“They have a very equal partnership, and I think that's what sets them apart. In fact, Harry still shines wonderfully on his own.”
