While the royal realm has accounted for a huge portion of the most dramatic stories that we know of in pop culture, from an ordinary girl turned people's princess to a Hollywood actress allegedly wreaking havoc, there is one that always holds higher ground, the tale of Prince Harry and Prince William. The two royal brothers who were evidently joined at the hip before the Megxit ordeal unfolded, now take special measures to avoid even a casual run-in.

The sad state of Prince Harry and Prince William's affair had been the highlight on King Charles' coronation as well. However, it took a back seat when the love for their mother, Princess Diana, was in question.

The tussle between Prince Harry and Prince William remains unfair to both sides as one cannot help but vent out just how many spades he was subjected to for being a 'spare' while the other has no choice but to polish his stiff upper lip. However, they both met on equal ground on August 28, at Lord Fellowes', late Princess Diana's brother in law, funeral as reported by OK!.

Given that the funeral service was held in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry, due to his safety concerns, was not expected to be attending. However, both Prince William and the Duke of Sussex had to brush shoulders at the service. This came as a respite, as netizens had lost any hope of the brothers uniting after the grim glances during the coronation.

While the royal brothers may have agreed to stand in solidarity at the funeral of one of their late mother's relatives, it happened to be a one-in-a-million scenario because the two princes cannot even agree about issues concerning Princess Diana.

Given how they got along with no problem earlier, one would think it was the shared memory of their mother and the eventual shower of blessings from their father that glued Prince Harry and Prince William together. While it was less likely the latter, the former too now seems to be a dicey case. Since the Megxit as Prince Harry has referenced Princess Diana and her alleged hacking in court and other levels in his memoir and documentary, Prince William has reportedly grown to dislike his brothers' tactic further.

It is clear as day by now that the two princes have very different coping styles. On one hand, the Duke of Sussex cannot help but sell his words for million-dollar deals. On the other hand, Prince William has no choice but to seal his words for the sake of the crown. This divide will keep the princes at loggerheads until overcome by grief, or hopefully one-day glee.
