PRINCE William and Harry “kept their distance” at their uncle’s funeral as they saw each other for the first time since King Charles’ coronation.

The estranged brothers “discreetly” attended the service for Lord Robert Fellowes, who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law, but sat separately.

A source told The Sun the pair were spotted at the back of St Mary’s church in Snettisham, Norfolk.

“William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance,” they said.

Another added: “I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very discreetly.”

Their joint appearance comes after insiders close to the duke previously reported he would miss the event over his UK security fears.

But a close family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there”.

The feuding brothers are understood not to have spoken since the Queen’s funeral two years ago, when they “barely exchanged a word”, Harry wrote in Spare.

They were last seen together at King Charles’s Coronation last May but they were sat separately and the Duke made a quick escape.

And, Harry visited the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games in May this year – but declined to meet up with either King Charles or his older brother.

Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle.

But they have barely ­spoken to each other since Megxit, when Harry and wife Meghan quit royal duties for a new life in the States.

Their relationship took another sour turn after the duke lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare.

Tensions may be reignited as a paperback version of the explosive book is set to hit shelves in October.

Royal experts claimed its release could “dredge everything up again” and the “timing couldn’t be worse”.

Spare was originally published in 2023 and launched vile attacks on the Royal Family.

Harry cruelly alleged Prince William knocked him to the floor and ripped his necklace after heated words about Meghan Markle.

And, during interviews to garner more publicity before it hit the shelves, the duke unleashed a litany of more digs at his now estranged family.

The bitter feud was ignited with full force when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie’s skin colour.

It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan’s former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame.

Prince William and Harry’s bond then worsened after the Sussexes made a number of accusations against the Royal Family in their 2022 Netflix docuseries.

The duke has given subsequent interviews that only propelled bad blood.
