Shocking News: Prince William breaks with King Charles as Princess Diana’s lawyers take his side…see more

Prince William’s making waves in the royal family, and it’s got everyone talking-he’s hired the same lawyers who helped his late mom, Princess Diana during her divorce from King Charles.

The Prince of Wales, now 42, has tapped Mishcon de Reya, the firm that guided Diana through her 1996 split, in a bold move that breaks from his dad’s go-to legal team, Harbottle & Lewis.

“He did not want to continue using his father’s lawyers,” a source spilled to the Daily Mail, adding, “It’s as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.” X users are buzzing: “William’s channeling Diana’s spirit!” one fan gushed, while others see it as a power play in the royal ranks.

This isn’t just a legal switch, it’s a statement. Harbottle & Lewis, led by Charles’ trusted adviser Gerrard Tyrrell, has repped the royals for decades, even handling the 2006 phone-hacking scandal for William and Harry.

But William’s done playing by the old rules. “I’m trying to do it differently,” he told the BBC in November 2024, hinting at a “smaller R in the royal” vibe for his generation.

Mishcon de Reya’s got history with Diana-its deputy chairman, Anthony Julius, was her legal ace during the divorce and later served as a trustee for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund until 2012.

“It’s a remarkable turn of events,” Daily Mail’s Richard Eden noted, stirring up chatter in legal circles.
