Ian Pelham Turner<\/a>, who worked at the Palace<\/a> as a royal photographer, saw Princess Diana<\/a> and the then-Prince Charles<\/a> compete against each other.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cPrince Charles when married to Diana even had his own press team to compete head on with his former wife\u2019s team for gaining the image of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n On one level, the apple may not fall far from the tree, with Harry<\/a> going to blows with other members of the Royal Family, which could be seen as a form of competition.<\/p>\n In the context of aging, it may be time for the Duke to pull back, because it could be a blink-and-you-miss-it moment and next thing you know, he’s no longer in the spotlight and his time was wasted on sparring.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
