<p>You must be living under a rock if you're not aware of the royal rift between Prince Harry and Prince William. The brothers – who were once thick as thieves – have reportedly been embroiled in a feud for the past year. The Duke of Sussex confirmed the speculation in his explosive Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan Markle earlier this year when he said: "The relationship is space, at the moment."</p> <p>The trouble between the pair allegedly started after Harry proposed to Meghan. According to reports, William thought his brother was "<a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a34269003/prince-harry-bitter-explosion-william-uncle-drama/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rushing</a>" into things too fast. Then, after embarking on separate business ventures, and Harry and Meghan's controversial "step back" from Royal life, the sibling's relationship seemed to feel the strain. Recent <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/prince-william-accused-prince-harry-of-putting-fame-over-family/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> claim that the conversation between William and Harry after the Oprah interview didn't "end well" and that they "haven't seen each other for over a year".</p> <p>But there is hope for reconciliation as Harry. For the first time in months, the brothers will reunite this week at the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip. The <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2021/04/prince-philip-funeral-royal-family-reunion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brothers have been in touch</a> in the days since their grandfather's death, and will be walking together behind the funeral procession.</p> <p>As royal fans pray the siblings get their relationship back on track, here, VT takes a look back at the brother's incredible bond via some of their most memorable and touching photographs together...</p> <h2>1.
