Prince Harry and Prince William reunited discreetly yesterday at the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, but maintained a distance throughout the service.
The funeral took place at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk. As per the report by the Sun, the princes, who have been estranged since Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from royal duties, were reported to have sat apart at the back of the church.
Despite speculation that Harry might not attend, sources confirmed both princes were present, though they were seen only towards the end of the service.
“I didn’t know they were there,” a witness was quoted as saying by the Sun. “They arrived very discreetly.” Another local added, “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.”
Lord Fellowes, who passed away last month at 82, was Diana, Princess of Wales’ brother-in-law and a former Private Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. He played a significant role in the Royal Household during a turbulent period, including the time following Princess Diana’s death.
His wife, Lady Jane Fellowes, was present at the service, having recently attended an event with Harry. Lord Fellowes was also portrayed in the Netflix series The Crown, played by Andrew Havill.
Kensington Palace and Harry’s Archewell Foundation declined to comment on the princes’ private interactions.
