Prince Harry has reportedly returned to the UK for the first time in nearly four years, making a discreet visit for the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes. The reunion with his estranged brother, Prince William, has sparked speculation about the state of their relationship, which has been strained since Harry stepped down as a working royal in 2020.
According to British publications, the brothers were present at Lord Fellowes’ funeral service in Norfolk but maintained their distance. They reportedly sat apart at the back of the church and were not seen interacting. This discreet separation reflects the ongoing tensions that have plagued their relationship in recent years.
The rift between the brothers has been widely documented, with Harry making numerous revelations about their strained dynamic in his memoir, *Spare*, published earlier this year. These revelations included a claim that William physically attacked him during a heated argument about Meghan Markle.
Despite the ongoing tension, there are reports of a potential meeting between the brothers in New York City in September. While Harry is expected to visit the city for charitable activities, William is also expected to be in Manhattan for an environmental event. While a meeting is not confirmed, the timing of their visits has fueled speculation about a possible reconciliation.
Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is not expected to accompany him on this trip. The Duke of Sussex’s visit will coincide with the UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week, which will take place from September 22 to 29. William’s potential attendance at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit at The Plaza Hotel on September 24 adds further intrigue to the possibility of a meeting between the brothers.
The details surrounding any potential meeting remain unclear, leaving the public to speculate about the state of their relationship and whether this could be a step towards reconciliation.
