Prince Philip's funeral sees Prince Harry and Prince William reunite

Prince Harry and Prince William were reunited at Prince Philip's funeral today.

The brothers walked in the funeral procession together for the first time since Harry's explosive interview with Oprah.

The Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex walked in the procession as they approached St George's Chapel.

The pair were either side of their cousin Peter Phillips and they all wore black and walked in silence.

The Duke of Sussex and Duke of Cambridge then sat opposite one another in St George's Chapel, as the brothers bid farewell to their grandfather.

The pair, who have had a difficult relationship in recent years, faced each other in the quire as part of just 30 family members for the Duke of Edinburgh's downsized funeral.

While William was joined in a bubble arrangement with his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, Harry sat alone.

He rushed back to the UK from the US following Philip's death, without the Duchess of Sussex, and has been self-isolating at Frogmore Cottage.

Meghan, who is pregnant, did not travel after medical advice.

The funeral is the first time Harry has been seen publicly with the Windsors since the couple's controversial interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey last month.

During the bombshell discussion, he and Meghan accused an unnamed royal of making racist remarks about their son Archie's skin tone before he was born, and the institution of failing to support Meghan.

In the days after Philip's death, senior figures such as former prime minister Sir John Major and Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, said they hoped the brothers' shared grief would be an opportunity to ease tensions and reconcile.
