Will William and Harry ever reconcile?

Royal biographer Robert Hardman highlights the brothers' 'toughest obstacle'

The brothers avoided each other at a family funeral this week

Hello Royal Clubbers,

You may have seen the reports that Prince William and Prince Harry both attended the funeral of Lord Robert Fellowes on Thursday in Norfolk. Lord Robert, who died earlier this month aged 82, was Queen Elizabeth II's former private secretary and married to Lady Jane Fellowes, the sister of Princess Diana.

Harry travelled from the US and managed to fly under the radar as he quietly made his way to Snettisham village where the service was held at St Mary's Church.

He and William reportedly sat at the back of the church, separately, and avoided each other. They kept their distance and did not speak to each other.

In the past, much has been said about the seismic and ever-growing rift between the two brothers. The question on all our lips is – will William and Harry ever reconcile?

Earlier this year, my fellow Royal Club authors Emily and Andrea had the pleasure of interviewing royal author Robert Hardman last week, as his new book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, hit shelves.

And one takeaway from their chat was Robert's opinion on the brothers' very public feud.

Harry made some “veiled criticisms” of his sister-in-law Princess Catherine in his book Spare

Robert explained why he thought a reconciliation would be a "tough obstacle" and a "tricky prospect", particularly after Harry made some "veiled criticisms" of his sister-in-law Princess Catherine.

But he did also have some positive comments to make on Harry's relationship with his father King Charles.
