Prince Harry and William are ‘keen to spend time together as a family’ after Philip’s funeral, according to a royal source.
The brothers are set to be separated behind Prince Philip’s coffin tomorrow amid high tensions following the Oprah interview.
The pair have not seen each other in over a year after Harry quit as a senior member of the Royal Family and uprooted to LA.
The Duke of Sussex rushed home following news of his grandfather’s death on April 9 and will be coming face-to-face with his brother tomorrow.
Sources say their issues will be put to one side while they mourn the Duke of Edinburgh.
One told The Telegraph: ‘I would be extremely surprised if that wasn’t front and centre of both their minds.
‘They will be keen to spend time together as a family in the same time zone for once.’
Another source said: ‘The entire focus is on the Queen. No exceptions. A family unified.’
Many will be watching how Harry and Will interact with each other after the Sussexes made several serious allegations in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last month.
They told the world that a senior member of the Royal Family – not the Queen or Prince Philip- made a comment about how dark their son’s skin would be.
Meghan claimed she was rejected when she reached out for help over feeling suicidal and Harry claimed his brother was ‘trapped’.
Kensington Palace has not confirmed if the brothers have been in touch since Sunday when Harry flew in from California.
But sources claim Harry reached out to his brother – along with his father Prince Charles and cousins Beatrice and Eugenie – to ‘park any disputes’.
After the interview, Will responded to the allegations directly and said: ‘We are very much not a racist family’.
Talk show host Gayle King later said the brothers had spoken but the conversation was ‘unproductive’.
Harry is currently isolating at Frogmore Cottage, in line with coronavirus rules that require people entering the UK to quarantine for 10 days only being allowed to leave for the funeral.
Harry and Meghan lived at Frogmore Cottage with their baby Archie just before they left for the US.
Meghan won’t be attending the funeral as she was unable to get medical clearance due to being heavily pregnant.
Prince Philip will be laid to rest at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle at 3pm tomorrow.
