Princes William, Harry keep their distance during Harry's visit to UK
Princes William and Harry, the only children of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, maintained their distance this week amid Harry's visit to the United Kingdom.
William and Harry each took part in separate engagements at roughly the same time Tuesday, both remaining silent about the ongoing family rift.
Harry, who is visiting the U.K. from California, where he lives full-time with his family, visited with young people from several charities in Nottingham, England, where he announced a personal donation to a charity focused on helping protect young people from violence.
Just over 100 miles away, in Lambeth, England, William visited a charity focused on helping young people get jobs.
Neither prince spoke about the other during their engagements, according to local reports.
The last time the brothers were seen publicly together was in 2023 at their father's coronation, and in 2022, when they walked side by side at their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
On the third anniversary of the late queen's death on Monday, Harry paid a solo, private visit to her tomb at Windsor Castle, while William and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales, attended a public engagement in her honor in Sunningdale, England.
Harry, who stepped away from his senior royal role in 2020, reportedly spoke about having a sibling while speaking with a teenage boy at the WellChild Awards, which he also attended in the U.K. on Monday.
When the 17-year-old boy told Harry that he has a younger brother, Harry reportedly said, "Does he drive you mad?" according to Hello! magazine.
When the boy replied that he and his brother get along, Harry reportedly replied with a laugh, "You know what, siblings."
A representative for the Duke of Sussex and Buckingham Palace both declined to comment to ABC News on any potential reunion between Harry, his brother and their father while Harry is visiting the U.K.
The king has not seen Harry since February 2024, but members of the duke's team met with the king's spokesman in July.
Harry has said he hopes to mend his relationship with his father amid the king's cancer battle.
