Prince Harry and Prince William found themselves side by side at the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, in Norfolk. This rare reunion marked the first time the two estranged brothers have been seen together since King Charles’ coronation in May 2023. However, the pair remained cold and distant, as usual.

Both Prince Harry and Prince William attended the service at St. Mary’s Church on August 28, paying their respects quietly and separately. Despite the grief inside the royal family, the tension between the two remained. According to sources close to the monarchy, they looked distant from each other.
Even though the pair shared the same space, any hope of rekindling their once-close relationship seemed far. Reportedly, they chose to sit far from each other at the back of the church. Any trace of the warmth of brotherhood was non-existent, sources from The Mirror said.

As they sat apart in the church, it was clear that the unresolved issues continued to cast a shadow over their relationship. Since Prince Harry left the royal family in 2020 and released his bombshell memoir “Spare” in 2023 his relationship with his family took a much more distant feel.
