Royal Family News: Prince Harry And Prince William Argued After Prince Philip’s Funeral?

British royal family news reveals that Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Prince William, Duke Of Cambridge will unveil a statue dedicated to their late mother Princess Diana on July 1 in London.

They were last together in April for the funeral of Prince Philip, the royal family patriarch and their grandfather.

Royal expert Robert Lacey wrote in the Daily Mail that some had hoped the funeral, “would bring the warring brothers together in an atmosphere of reflection.” That was not the case. Lacey wrote Battle of Brothers and is a consultant on Netflix’s series about the royals, The Crown.

Much was made of the fact that the two brothers engaged in a short public talk outside St. George’s Chapel after the funeral service. But according to Lacey, later that day an argument broke out between the estranged brothers, “within minutes of the siblings getting inside the castle and beyond camera vision.”

A friend of the family told Lacey, “There they were, at each other’s throats as fiercely as ever. The rage and anger between those two has grown so incredibly deep. Too many harsh and wounding things have been said.”

“Everyone was optimistic,” one source told People about the pair’s reunion at Philip’s funeral, “but nothing really happened.” Another insider said, “There was not really any time to build bridges.”

Lacey also wrote that the brothers did not have a mutual talk with their father Prince Charles. “There was no reconciliation, and no brotherly sit-down or ‘mini summit’ following Prince Philip’s funeral on April 17. The conflict between Diana’s two bitterly divided sons does not seem likely to end any time soon.”

According to People, the chasm between the once close brothers began when Prince William offered brotherly advice to Prince Harry about his then-girlfriend Meghan Markle. He is said to have told Harry to take his time getting to know her, and this ticked off Harry. We all know how this story ends: with a May 2018 wedding, a nasty defection from the monarchy and Harry crying to Oprah Winfrey’s audience about how dreadful his privileged life is.
