Speaking to Royal Beat show host Kate Thornton, a royal expert said: “[It’s] clearly its a very intense time for them.”
“Probably not a huge opportunity [to reconcile].”
She added: “The only meeting we know of is, when William was returning back from the school run, and happened to pass Harry and Meghan in Home Park.
“[He] reversed, because they realised they’d passed eachother, and have a quick word.”
She noted if “that was the extent” of a meeting between the two brothers, “I think that suggests we are very far off from a long-term, and a meaningful, reconciliation”.

“I did spot, at the vigil of the princes, almost all of the royal cousins, except for these two.
“[and] I wondered if there may be a meal going on, there might be a meeting, there might be something to suggest that that reconciliation, that everyone is hoping for, might be taking place.”
However, Ms Nicholl added that she was “told by someone very much in the know” that “that wasn’t the case”.
Ms Thornton pointed out, with all the important royal duties since the Queen’s death, “could there have even been time?”
Ms Nicholl replied: “absolutely, potentially there was time”.
The author of ‘Diana: Her True Story’ added that the “closest parallel is George VI and Edward VIII”.
He added: “George VI adored his brother, like Harry adored William.
“They were inseparable, but then he abdicated, moved abroad and the relationship was never the same again.”

During his first address to the nation as reigning-monarch, King Charles expressed his love for Prince Harry and Meghan.
In his solemn televised speech, Charles said: “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
