The Duke of Sussex reunited with his brother, Prince William, back in July to reveal a bronze statue of their late mother, the Princess of Wales. The small event marked what would have been Diana's 60th birthday.

       Prince William is believed to have spoken on behalf of himself and the Duke of Sussex at a private reception last week celebrating the unveiling of their late mother's statue.

       Now, a source has claimed the two royal siblings are "barely on speaking terms" but the unveiling of the statue has "done some good".

       They told the Sun: "There was a real family feel as many of Diana's 17 godchildren were also there.

       "William made a brilliant speech saying thank you from him and Harry and how happy they both were with the statue.

       "He mentioned Harry by name.

       "The brothers are barely on speaking terms but it's clear the Princess Di statue has done some good."

       Reports of a rift between Harry and William have persisted for years, with the younger sibling hinting at the feud in a TV interview in 2019.

       Tensions reportedly began when William offered Harry advice on taking things slow with Meghan, something the younger son bristled at.

       And the situation is said to have escalated when Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family last year.

       Their relationship also reportedly deteriorated significantly following Meghan and Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March.
