Princes William and Harry put on a "very good show" but there could still be a "way to go" with healing tensions, a royal biographer says.
The brothers came together yesterday for the unveiling of a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday.
William and Harry appeared to be in good spirits with one another, and were pictured chatting warmly with their guests at the event in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.
The brothers appeared to set aside their months-long rift to put on a united front during the poignant occasion.
Penny Junor, who has written biographies of both William and Harry, told The Times : "My guess is there’s quite a way to go but it’s encouraging to see the two of them together and with smiles on their faces, I think that is progress.
"The brothers put on a very, very good show. I was expecting to see some sort of tight lips and some jaw muscles, which we saw at the Commonwealth service in Westminster Abbey before Harry and Meghan left.
"They seemed to be reasonably relaxed with one another."
She said they didn't have their arms around each other but had you not known there was any tension there you may not have picked it up.
The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex were snapped walking side by side with other attendees as they made their way to the memorial on Thursday.
They greeted the other guests warmly with kisses and hugs as the event wore on.
Harry was pictured breaking into a smile as he reunited with his brother and members of Diana's family.
At the unveiling, William and Harry said in a statement released by Kensington Palace: "Today, on what would have been our Mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
"Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.
"Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive. — Prince William and Prince Harry."
