Brothers William and Harry Show No Signs of Mending Rift Despite Attending Family Funeral
Prince William and Prince Harry were recently reunited at a family funeral, but despite being in close proximity, their emotional distance remained clear. Last month, the brothers attended the service at St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, to pay their respects to their late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes.
Hopes that this shared moment of grief would mend their strained relationship were quickly dashed, as reported by The Mirror. This marked the first time William and Harry had been in the same room together in 2023, and yet the frost between them persisted.
This tension recalls the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, when the brothers, along with their wives Catherine and Meghan, appeared together during a public walkabout. It was a rare moment of unity, sparked by a last-minute olive branch from William, who had personally invited Harry and Meghan to join him and Catherine in Windsor.
Contrary to earlier reports, William's gesture was made independently, not at the urging of their father, King Charles, according to a source from the Daily Mail. Despite this brief display of solidarity, the feud continues, with the recent funeral providing no signs of reconciliation.
At St Mary's Church, the brothers were seated on opposite sides of the aisle and reportedly did not interact after the service. A source from The Sun noted that although they were physically close, family members were seated between them, perhaps deliberately. As the service concluded, Harry was seen leaving in a separate vehicle, further highlighting the ongoing rift between the two princes.
