Prince William visited a youth charity in London today while his estranged brother Prince Harry met children in the midlands during a copycat engagement.
The Prince of Wales, 43, spoke to youngsters at Spiral Skills in Tulse Hill, Lambeth, while the Duke of Sussex, 40, drove to the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham to discuss Children in Need.
William saw the impact of Homewards funding on the local community and an important staffing update from The Royal Foundation.
The Fund created to support local projects within the six Homewards locations.
Spiral Skills, founded in 2015, works with schools, youth organisations, and local authorities to provide early intervention, holistic support, employability skills, and access to employment and services for 14–25-year-olds.
Funding from Homewards has enabled Spiral Skills to move into a new multi-agency prevention hub for young people at The Oasis Village.
During the visit, The Prince joined a workshop with Young Creators UK, an impact-led creative agency run and owned by underrepresented young people.
The agency receives referrals from Spiral Skills and provides creative training and project opportunities.
The workshop showcased the film production skills the young people are learning. William was joined by Homewards Advocate Fara Williams MBE*
Following on from William’s visit to Spiral Skills, he dropped into 60 Sancroft Street, a property owned by the Duchy of Cornwall which will be turned into homes for young people experiencing homelessness, through a partnership with Homewards and Centrepoint.
William and Harry have been in a bitter feud since Harry and his wife Meghan, 43, stepped down as working royals in 2020.
They were just eight miles apart on Monday afternoon as they paid their own tributes to Queen Elizabeth, who passed away three years ago aged 96.
William, accompanied by his wife Kate, was at the Women’s Institute at Sunningdale, with Harry just a 15 minutes’ drive away at Windsor Castle to lay a wreath at his grandmother’s grave.
That evening, Harry joked about his "challenging" relationship with his sibling at the WellChild Awards at The Hurlingham Club.
Meanwhile, King Charles will jet home to London from his summer retreat in Scotland, fuelling speculation of reunion with Harry this week.
His Majesty, 76, who is currently with Queen Camilla, 78, in Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, is expected to return down south tomorrow.
The Duke is in the UK for a string of engagements linked to his patronages, while the Duchess remains at home in California with their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
While the monarch’s schedule for this week is unknown, The Sun reported that Harry’s arrival could offer a chance for the King to reunite with his son.
Harry last met with his father in February 2024 following the announcement of the King’s cancer diagnosis.
Both Harry and William attended the funeral of their uncle Lord Fellowes in Norfolk in August 2024, but there was reportedly no interaction between the pair.
Harry is understood to be currently staying in a hotel at his own expense in his longest stay in Britain since the Queen’s funeral three years ago.
A friend of the estranged royal told The Sunday Times: “He’s not given up hope on bringing his family back to the UK.”
There is also the possibility Harry could extend his visit to attend the funeral of the Duchess of Kent, a friend of his late mother Princess Diana, who passed away last week aged 92.
However, Harry is highly unlikely to meet William during his trip.
