As Harry and William walk together behind the Queen's procession, a bereavement expert shares their insight on the way loss heals family feuds.
It was an image few expected to see, but many hoped for: Prince William and Prince Harry together once again, walking side by side behind the Queen's coffin as she is prepared to lie in state in Westminster Hall. A stark contrast to the death of their grandfather, Prince Phillip, during his funeral procession when cousin Peter Phillips stood between the princes as they prepared to escort the coffin to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
It's perhaps no surprise then that after Harry and Meghan stepped back as senior royals a few months later, the rumour mill only began to turn quicker. From subtle snubs to the slamming of phones, titbits of rumoured gossip emerged month after month about escalating tension between the brothers. But like any family, there are certain monumental events that trivialise sibling squabbles, no matter how long-standing or serious they may be.
But when families do reconnect in the shared sense of grief, does it always last? Or, sadly, do those rifts reappear as lives begin to return to normalcy?
