Princes ended ‘feud’ earlier this year

- By Charlotte Wace ROYAL CORRESPOND­ENT

THE long-running feud between Prince William and Prince Harry was ended weeks ago, according to Royal sources.

Since last year, there have been repeated stories of a supposed froideur between the brothers.

It has been claimed that the tensions were sparked by William questionin­g whether Harry was being hasty in marrying Meghan Markle last May, less than two years after they met. But whatever the cause, sources say the rift was healed up to ten weeks ago.

The reconcilia­tion came at about the same time that the Royal households were reorganise­d. Harry is moving to a new office at Buckingham Palace, while William remains at Kensington Palace.

A source said: ‘Finalising plans on their future paths and roles did make things easier.

‘There was no formal process or meetings required. It was never that bad. They worked things out between themselves.’

While aides have admitted that the dynamic between the brothers has been ‘strained’ over the last year, those close to the two princes claimed that their relationsh­ip had been ‘back on track for a while now’. ‘They are in regular contact, which is the main thing,’ the source added.

The princes were seen together at a small gathering of mutual friends recently, and on Easter Sunday Harry and Meghan – who is due to give birth any day now – gave William and Kate a tour of their new home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

The get-together took place just before William flew to New Zealand for a tour.
