Are tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry beginning to thaw? The royals are still widely believed to be at odds with each other, but the future King’s appearance in the docuseries, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness—during which he mentioned his little brother while recalling a sweet memory of Princess Diana—could suggest that Harry’s relationship with the royal family could be on the mend sometime soon.
The documentary took a moment to spotlight Diana’s charity work, which William reflected on. The late princess took both William and Harry to visit homelessness organization The Passage, with the Princes of Wales noting, “She [Diana] took Harry and I both there. I must have been about 11, I think, probably, at the time. Maybe 10. I’d never been to anything like that before. And I was a bit anxious as to what to expect.”
A friend to Diana’s, journalist Richard Kay, told Express, that William’s public mention of Harry is a relatively good sign. “Well, you could easily take that latter view that he can’t not mention [Harry’s name]. How could he separate Harry and him from something which his mother took them both to?But I think there is something calculated and I think it is an olive branch.”
The true motive behind William mentioning Harry in the documentary is unclear, but Kay speculated that it could be “a sign that the family are listening,” and that the rift between Harry, William, and the rest of the royal family could be mended in the future.

Elsewhere in the ITV documentary, William discussed his earliest visit to The Passage. “My mother went about her usual part of making everyone feel relaxed, and having a laugh and joking with everyone.” the prince said. “I remember at the time, kind of thinking, well, if everyone’s not got a home, they’re all going to be really sad.”
William continued of the visit, “I remember having some good conversations—just playing chess and chatting. That’s when it dawned on me that there are other people out there who don’t have the same life as you do.”
The childhood visits were so impactful to William that he decided to follow in his mother’s footsteps, becoming a royal patron of The Passage himself. “I feel, with my position and my platform, I should be delivering change,” William explained. “I’ve spent enough time learning and listening to what people have been through that I feel almost guilty every time I leave that I’m not doing more to help.”
