IT was a sight many thought we’d never see – the “Fab Four” back together at last.
Princes William and Harry, joined by their wives, appeared to put aside their differences as they surprised crowds gathered outside the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The sight of the Fab Four back together was the show of unity we’ve been waiting for, says Angela Levin
Some have seen this show of unity as an encouraging sign. Yet the rift between the two brothers runs so deep, only time will tell.
The now Prince of Wales did the right thing to invite Harry and Meghan to their walkabout – even if it was perhaps a move to keep an eye on the couple due to their fondness of giving disparaging media interviews.
Both of them are heartbroken over the loss of their beloved grandmother – and her death is sure to bring back memories of them losing their own mother.
I’m sure the Queen would have been very pleased to see them come together – even if things did look a little strained.
ON QUEEN'S DEATH
The brothers have always been very different. William has always kept himself to himself, whereas Harry shows his feelings on his face and wears his heart on his sleeve.
William loves his brother very much, but the Royal Family don’t trust him – because anything William says might be used in an interview with Oprah Winfrey or in a documentary, as Harry has already shown.
And Prince Harry may well be more keen than ever to publish his memoir now the Queen – the only member of the Firm he said he liked – is gone.
It would drive an even deeper wedge between the brothers if he did.
Because if William can’t trust him, how can they have that frank conversation to clear the air when he knows anything he says could be used against him so publicly?
They do need to sort it out though. They are grown men – not children.
Their father is too busy being King, he can’t act as a middleman.
Sometimes it can take something like this – the death of a loved one – to plant a seed that you need to have a rethink and make changes in your life.
Hopefully that seed will grow and we do see a reconciliation.
