The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex came together last week to reveal a statue in her honour. But before the ceremony took place, the two brothers bonded over Diana’s keepsakes and notes, a source said.

       Speaking to Us Weekly, the source suggested the purported rift between William and Harry could be in the process of healing.

       They said: “William and Harry spent the morning before the statue unveiling looking through old keepsakes, notes from Diana, and bonding.

       “They have absolutely turned a new page in their relationship and have started the healing.

       “Everyone around them was thrilled to see how close they were on the day of the statue unveiling.”
