The funeral marked the first time the divided siblings have been in the same room together this year, and the brothers are understood not to have spoken since the Queen’s funeral, when they “barely exchanged a word”, as Harry wrote in Spare. Relations with his father are said to be increasingly strained too, with reports suggesting the King doesn’t always answer his younger son’s calls. As such, Harry cut a rather lonely figure when he celebrated his 40th birthday in California in September, surrounded by Meghan and his children, yes, but with his father, brother and other members of his family glaringly absent. The Prince of Wales did, however, publicly wish his brother a happy birthday.
