Prince William and Prince Harry attended Lord Fellowes’ funeral service in Norfolk yesterday. Lord Fellowes, Diana’s brother-in-law, was laid to rest at St Mary’s Church.
The Duke of Sussex travelled from California to join his brother William for the service. According to a source, the brothers arrived discreetly and sat at the back of the church, maintaining their distance.
The rift between Harry and his family is believed to have started after Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2020, which led to further revelations. The relationship worsened when Harry released his memoir, “Spare,” early last year. In the memoir, Harry shared personal anecdotes, including details about his frostbitten condition at William and Kate’s wedding and Meghan’s first encounter with William.
Harry made a ‘secret’ dash to the UK. The Sun reports that Harry quietly attended his and William’s Uncle Lord Fellowes’ funeral today.
