Warring Prince William and Harry REUNITE at their uncle’s funeral after Duke of Sussex makes secret dash to UK
WARRING Princes William and Harry were reunited at their uncle’s funeral yesterday.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, flew from his US home to join his brother, 42, at the service for Lord Robert Fellowes.
A local in Snettisham, Norfolk, said: “We never saw them speak to each other and they kept their distance.”
The princes both “discreetly” attended the funeral for Lord Fellowes — who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law.
They were said to have kept their distance from each other and sat at the back of the church.
Sources close to US-based Harry had previously claimed he would not attend.
But a close family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there”.
Another source told how they only saw them at the end of the service at St Mary’s Church.
They said: “I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very discreetly.”
One local said: “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.”
The brothers have barely spoken to each other since Megxit, when Harry and wife Meghan quit royal duties for the US.
They went on a walkabout in Windsor after the death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022 but have not been in the same room since the King’s Coronation more than a year ago.
Eton-educated Lord Fellowes, who died last month aged 82, worked in banking before joining the Royal Household in 1977.
He married Diana’s sister Lady Jane Spencer the following year, with the future princess a bridesmaid.
He would go on to serve as Queen Elizabeth’s Private Secretary from 1990 to 1999, becoming one of her most trusted advisers during a tumultuous period, including Princess Diana’s death.
Lord and Lady Fellowes lived close to the church where yesterday’s funeral was held.
Lady Fellowes joined Harry at a service earlier this year at St Paul’s Cathedral for the tenth anniversary of his Invictus Games.
Her husband featured on screen in Netflix drama The Crown, where he was played by Andrew Havill.
He was related to Sarah, the Duchess of York and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.
A spokesman for Kensington Palace said they would not comment on William’s private time.
Harry’s Archewell Foundation was also approached for comment.
