Prince Harry 'didn't make any progress' over race row during time in UK for funeral

Prince Harry "didn't make any progress" on the race row with William and Charles during his recent trip to the UK for Prince Philip's funeral, according to new reports.

As part of the now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry and wife Meghan Markle made claims that a member of the family had expressed 'concerns' about the colour of Archie's skin before he was born.

Following the interview, Buckingham Palace released a statement in which they addressed the claims.

They said: “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.

"While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately."

But Palace insiders have told the Sun "little was resolved about the race row" despite Harry's recent trip to the UK for the funeral of his grandfather.

Sources claimed the Duke of Sussex did not "make any progress" regarding the allegations with his family when he was back in the country.

It was reported that the Prince spent two hours talking with his father Charles and brother William after the funeral, though this has not been confirmed.

Harry was seen on camera chatting with his brother as they walked away from the Duke of Edinburgh's service.

William wife, Kate Middleton, stepped away from the brothers to give them space to chat - the first time since Harry left the Royals for for America that they have spent time together face-to-face.

Body language analyst Adrianne Carter said they appeared at ease.

She said:

“Kate seemed to take the lead in chatting, but when the brothers started to walk together it was entirely natural with no sign of stress or discord in their companionship. There was no forced show and no sign of avoiding each other.

“In fact William paused so Harry could walk up the hill with them. It looks to me like grief has reunited them.”
