These letters vividly depict the boys’ close relationship, with Diana noting how William adored his younger brother, showering him with hugs and kisses.
Their childhood was filled with shared adventures and activities such as skiing, jet skiing, and flying airplanes.
They were inseparable, supporting each other in both play and charity work.
Edwards told The Sun: “William adores his little brother and spends the entire time pouring an endless supply of hugs and kisses over Harry.”
“They were very close. I mean, they did everything together. They were just inseparable.”
But Edwards expressed sorrow over their current estrangement, suggesting that Harry might benefit from re-reading his mother’s letters to reassess his relationship with William.
He said: “It’s no longer like that, I’m afraid.
“If Harry read one of those letters from his mother, maybe he’ll have a rethink about how he is going to be in future towards his brother.”
“Harry could have had a great life here. He was respected here. He was much loved by the media, by the nation.”

Edwards also observed the differences between the brothers from a young age.
William, more cautious and burdened with future responsibilities as king, found certain activities more challenging compared to Harry’s more instinctive and daring nature.
Despite these differences, Harry once declared his main role in life was to support William.
But Harry’s move to the United States has drastically changed his status, the royal photographer said.
Once beloved in the UK and respected for his royal duties, Harry is now seen as just another celebrity in America.
Edwards doubts that Harry is happier, despite possibly being wealthier.
He said: “Here, when he lived here, when he worked for the Queen, he was a somebody.
“In America, he’s just another celebrity in a town full of celebrities.”
“He might be wealthier, but I bet he’s not happier.”
Reflecting on Diana’s legacy, Edwards emphasised her trailblazing role in the Royal Family.
Diana was known for her compassion and willingness to break traditional norms, as evidenced by her work with HIV patients and her campaign against landmines.
Her death was a national tragedy, bringing the country to a standstill as people mourned her loss.
Diana’s ability to engage with the public and media left a lasting impact, and Edwards has fond memories of her warmth and dedication.
Comparing Diana to Princess Catherine, Edwards noted differences in their personalities.
Diana could be moody and outspoken, whereas Kate is consistently good-humoured.
Despite these differences, both women have a photogenic quality that captivates the public and media.
Diana’s marriage to King Charles, though filled with public admiration, ultimately ended due to their differing interests.
Diana was drawn to the modern and glamorous, while Charles preferred traditional and countryside pursuits.
Edwards reminisced about the global admiration Diana garnered during her travels with Charles, drawing massive crowds wherever they went.
Her untimely death left a profound sadness, but Edwards cherishes memories of her infectious smile and her ability to connect deeply with the camera and the public.
