A royal expert has branded William and Harry’s latest show of division "unutterably sad" and claimed that their mother Diana "would be very upset" by the feud.
Last night the once-close brothers made a rare joint appearance (not at the same time) at the Diana Legacy Award event at the Science Museum in London.
However, the brothers were not in the same room as one another, with Prince Harry not even in the same building, and this seemingly hints at how deeply rooted the feud is between the two, who were once "very close."
Speaking to GB News, royal expert Michael Cole said: "Ironic, isn't it? The Diana Awards to recognise 20 young people who are doing good thing in the spirit of Diana and her two sons can't even bear to be in the same room even virtually.

He added: "She would be devastated by this, she would knock their heads together. She would not have believed it. If there was ever a moment for reconciliation, it should have been at these awards.
"They only happen every two years. Perhaps there is a way that they can get together over the next two years because it is unutterably sad, in a way it is a mercy that she is not seeing this.
"I don't think that she would have allowed it to happen. I promise you that she would not."

The Prince has criticised the royals since he moved to the US with various interviews, a six-part Netflix documentary, and a memoir about his life called Spare.
In one episode of the documentary, Harry talked about the rumours that William had "bullied him" out of the Royal Family. The rumours were quickly put to rest with a joint statement from Harry and William's spokespeople but Harry has since claimed he knew nothing about the statement.
"It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that weren't true and my grandmother quietly sit there and take it all in," Harry said in the documentary.

"I rang [Meghan] and I told her and she burst into floods of tears. Because within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother and yet for three years they were never wiling to tell the truth to protect us."
According to a bombshell book by Omid Scobie Harry and William's relationship is considered “beyond repair” by both sides.
It added that William “doesn’t want to know” his “defector” brother, who he says has become “oh so California” after being “brainwashed by an army of therapists.”
