Prince Harry and Prince William were both in attendance at their uncle’s funeral on Wednesday, August 28, but according to reports, the two kept their distance from each other. Harry, 39, and William, 42, were both at the service for Lord Robert Fellowes , their mother Princess Diana ’ s brother and the late Queen Elizabeth II ’ s private secretary from 1990 to 1999, at St. Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, per The Sun .
Their uncle died at the age of 82 last month. According to the outlet, a family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there,” but that the brothers did not sit near each other. A separate source told The Sun that “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.
” The brothers have been in a state of discord reportedly since 2016, which escalated when Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle , announced their exit from royal duties in 2020. The last time Harry and William publicly reunited was in May of 2023 at their father King Charles ‘ coronation, but the two brothers reportedly did not interact there, either. Per The Sun , Harry, who now resides in California, was not expected to attend the funeral due to security concerns.
However, he and Meghan recently wrapped a well-publicized four-day trip to Colombia, and Harry plans to be making a special visit to New York City for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly for Climate Week. You have successful.
