Prince William of Wales, the heir to the British throne, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, attended their uncle&#8217;s funeral in the U.K. on Thursday but reportedly avoided each other entirely. According to The Sun, they sat separately at the back of a church in Snettisham, Norfolk for Lord Robert Fellowes&#8217; service\u2014who was their late mother Diana&#8217;s brother-in-law. A local resident noted that while both were present, they did not interact and maintained their distance.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with royal affairs, it&#8217;s clear why this rift exists. Harry has distanced himself from the House of Windsor since marrying an American actress whose actions have caused embarrassment for a family that is expected to uphold Britain&#8217;s image. He has profited from revealing family secrets through various public platforms like an Oprah interview and his bestselling memoir while accusing relatives of various alleged wrongdoings.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers haven&#8217;t shared a space since their father&#8217;s coronation last year and seem to have little common ground left to discuss. Nonetheless, both attended Lord Fellowes&#8217; funeral; he passed away in July at 82 and had been a significant figure in their lives as private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II during pivotal moments such as Diana&#8217;s divorce from Charles and her tragic death.<\/p>\n<p>Harry\u2019s marriage sparked issues between him and William as early as 2016 before they wed in 2018. Since then, Harry and Meghan have stepped back from royal duties and relocated to Montecito, California\u2014a far cry from Britain\u2014where they&#8217;ve embraced celebrity life while continuing to air grievances against the royal family.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, they discussed Meghan\u2019s treatment by Harry\u2019s family amid allegations of racism. In his memoir &#8220;Spare,&#8221; published in 2023, Harry claimed that William physically confronted him over his relationship with Meghan.<\/p>\n<p>Given how publicly Harry and Meghan have ridiculed themselves on an international stage\u2014and considering how much effort Harry has put into severing ties with his family\u2014it\u2019s unsurprising that there would be little conversation between him and William even during such somber occasions as mourning a relative&#8217;s death. One brother is dedicated to fulfilling royal duties alongside his supportive wife who faces serious health challenges; meanwhile, the other appears disconnected from traditional values associated with royalty\u2014making it unlikely that even a funeral could mend their fractured relationship<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2334396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Royal-Princes.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33095,39772,38537],"class_list":["post-2334395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-william","tag-royal-rift"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Royal-Princes.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2334395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2334396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2334395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2334395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2334395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
