Foreign media quickly reported on the first meeting in a year between Prince Harry and Prince William. The brothers encountered each other at their uncle's funeral. Here’s what their interactions were like. Is reconciliation possible?

For several years, there have been discussions about the strained relations between the Sussexes and the remaining members of the British royal family. The alleged conflict between Prince William and Prince Harry intensified in 2020 when the red-haired aristocrat and his spouse officially resigned from their royal duties and moved to the United States. Efforts to mend family relations were also hampered by widely publicized interviews in American media and a documentary where Harry and Meghan eagerly criticized the royals. Although the sons of King Charles III have had several opportunities over the years to resolve their differences, reconciliation has not occurred. Whenever the princes' paths crossed during important ceremonies, foreign tabloids reported mutual avoidance and exceptionally cold interactions.

Prince Harry discreetly visited the United Kingdom and met with Prince William

According to the latest reports from British tabloids, Prince William and Prince Harry met for the first time in over a year. On Wednesday, August 30th, their uncle, Robert Fellowes's funeral took place in Snettisham, Norfolk County. Although it was previously reported that the red-haired prince "would most likely not attend the ceremony," plans changed.

“The Sun” reported that “Prince Harry flew to the United Kingdom and attended Wednesday’s service in memory of Lord Robert Fellowes.” Prince William was also present at St. Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk County. According to the tabloid, the estranged brothers “kept their distance”. They were seen at the back of the church.

I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very discreetly - a source reported to “The Sun”.

William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance - another source told the tabloid.

Do you think we will see a reconciliation between Harry and William?
