Warring Prince William and Harry REUNITE at their uncle’s funeral after Duke of Sussex makes secret dash to UK
HARRY and William were together yesterday to say goodbye to their uncle — but were not seen talking to each other.
The princes both “discreetly” attended the funeral for Lord Robert Fellowes, who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law.
They were said to have sat apart at the back of the church in Snettisham, Norfolk.
Sources close to US-based Harry, 39, had previously claimed he would not attend.
But a close family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there”.

The PM can’t have meant socially.

Hundreds of pubs will be bankrupted, with thousands thrown on the dole and communities robbed of their focal point.
Three pubs are expected to close every WEEK.
