Prince Harry made a secret trip to the UK to attend the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, but reportedly did not speak to his brother, Prince William, during the service. Despite being in the same location, the brothers kept their distance from each other, fueling speculation about their strained relationship.

The Duke of Sussex, who now resides in the US, traveled back to Britain to pay his respects to Lord Robert Fellowes, who was married to Lady Jane Spencer, the late Princess Diana’s sister. The funeral took place at St Mary’s Church, near the Fellowes’ residence in Norfolk. Witnesses and locals noted the brothers’ lack of interaction, with one local telling The Sun, “We never saw them speak to each other, and they kept their distance.”

A family friend confirmed both princes’ attendance, stating they were “very happy” to see the brothers at the service. However, the source also mentioned that the princes were only seen briefly at the end of the service, having arrived discreetly.

Kensington Palace has chosen not to comment on Prince William’s private time, while representatives for the Sussexes have also remained silent on the matter. The absence of communication between Harry and William continues to be a point of public interest, especially following their well-documented fallout over the past few years.

Lord Robert Fellowes, who passed away at the age of 82, had a notable career as the private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II from 1990 to 1999, during some of the most challenging years of her reign. He later transitioned into private banking and was honored with a life peerage in 1999, becoming Baron Fellowes of Shotesham.
The discreet nature of the funeral, combined with the apparent distance maintained by the royal brothers, highlights ongoing tensions within the family, leaving royal watchers speculating about the future of the princes’ relationship.
