Princes' secret reunion at their uncle's funeral sparks hopes of a reconciliation

Friends see Harry’s dash to UK as a positive step

PRINCE Harry came face-to-face with his brother Prince William at a memorial service - igniting hopes the warring siblings will end their long-running feud.

They were both at a gathering for their late mother's brother-in-law Lord Robert Fellowes on Thursday.

The Duke of Sussex flew from his US home to join his brother at St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, near the Royal Family's Sandringham estate.

The meeting is the first sign of a slight thawing between the brothers, which has given friends hope for a reconciliation.

"Harry and William were both present at the memorial," said a source. "They sat apart and didn't appear to speak with each other during the service.

"However, there was a wake afterwards and Harry had been in the UK since Tuesday spending time with his late mother's side of the family.

Difficult

"Everyone is hoping there might be some kind of intervention from Jane or Charles [Spencer] which will hopefully bring them back together. It will take some time but it is looking like a possibility." Lord Robert Fellowes was married to Lady Jane Spencer, the late Princess Diana's sister, for over 40 years. The couple had three children together.
