‘Their rift is starting to THAW'

Prince William and Prince Harry could be on the verge of healing their falling out, according to royal expert Duncan Larcombe.

The trauma of losing their mother formed a bond between Princes William and Harry that few of us thought could ever be broken. For years, they were more than brothers, relying on each other for support, comfort and humour when times were tough.

So it is fitting perhaps that when Harry and Meghan suffered the loss of a baby in pregnancy this summer, the one good thing to have come out of the trauma was a sign that the rift between the royal brothers may be starting to thaw.

Sources close to the boys have told me that William contacted his brother to offer his support as soon as he learned of the miscarriage, after reading about Meghan’s brave decision to speak openly about her ordeal.

In a further twist, the boys were forced together by revelations that their late mother may have been duped by the BBC’s Martin Bashir into giving her infamous interview to the Panorama programme in 1995.
