Despite the Drama, Prince William Insists: Heir to Throne 'Never Discouraged' Prince Harry From Attending Uncle's Funeral
Royal analysts claim William, Princes of Wales, 'never discouraged' his estranged brother, Prince Harry, from attending their uncle's funeral.
Prince William was described as "always doing the right thing" at his and Prince Harry's uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes' funeral on Thursday, August 29, an onlooker at the event shared.
This led an insider to state, "[Harry's] appearance came as a surprise to most people, I think."
"I couldn’t say what the ins and outs were, but what I can tell you is that Prince William is a decent guy," they added. "He would understand that his brother wanted to be there and that [his invitation] would be a matter for the Spencer family. I am sure he would have been warned beforehand and would have taken it in his stride. He is good at compartmentalizing things like that."
They then recalled, "Don't forget it was his [William's] idea, despite everything that had happened, to ask Harry and Meghan to join himself and Catherine for that walkabout at Windsor after Queen Elizabeth died. He did that knowing what his brother had done and that he planned to bring out his book. But he will always do the right thing in the circumstances."
Lord Robert Fellowes was the principal private secretary for the late Queen Elizabeth II from 1990 to 1999, which is classified by many as the most turbulent era of the revered monarch's lengthy reign.
He married the late Diana, Princess of Wales's sister, Lady Jane Spencer, in 1978, and due to his role as a loyal courtier to Elizabeth II, would go on to develop a "frosty' dynamic with his royal sister-in-law when the "War of the Waleses" between Diana and then-Prince Charles dominated the '90s.
"They arrived very discreetly," another source claimed to The Sun.
"William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance," another attendee added.
These insights keep rolling in despite earlier reports suggesting the California prince had no intention of attending his uncle's services. The rebel Duke is rumored to have "disliked" how Fellowes treated his mother during her turbulent times in the 1990s.
"The death will be a huge blow to the Spencer family. In normal times it would be unimaginable that Harry would not be there to support [his aunt] Jane. Of course, he would want to be there," a source told The Daily Beast.
"It will be a huge gathering of the Spencer clan," they continued. "But these are not normal times and it may well be that everyone feels Harry’s attendance would just create too much drama. It will be very sad for him if he can’t make it."
It has been claimed that neither brother broke their now near-two-year-long silence between one another as the feud rages on...
