"Diana, who doted on both of her sons, would be devastated to witness the breakdown of Harry’s relationship with William," he said.
"Diana took comfort knowing that Prince William, who was always destined for the throne, would be able to lean on his brother for support while carrying out his duties."
Andrew, 67, drew comparisons between the bombshell new book and Diana's 1995 Panorama interview.
He said: "Harry hasn’t just burned his bridges with his family – he’s buried the ashes. There is no way back now."
But he says Diana would have understood her son's desire to split from the royal family.
Despite her "upset and distress", Andrew says it's impossible to ignore the parallels between mother and son - both of whom can be "reckless and impatient" under pressure.
Looking back on the release of his own bombshell biography, Diana: Her True Story - In Her Own Words, Andrew says Diana felt "isolated" in the wake of its release, but was ultimately "thrilled", despite the backlash.
